Tiger Beetle Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a tiger beetle! I pounced first!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The tiger beetle is extremely fleet of foot, though it runs in a rather peculiar way.

  That is, it sprints, then stops, then sprints again...using these speedy maneuvers to run down its prey.

  You see, the tiger beetle—like a real tiger—is a powerful predator. The mere thought of it giving chase gives me the willies.

  Tigers are terrifying at any size.
