Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  Beware the horned atlas! I tell you, thos rhinocerous beetle is known for its violent temperament!

 The males use the three large horns on their heads to fight amongst each other for dominance.

 But is is their young that give me the cold sweats.

 You see, their larvae grow quite large and, worst of all...they bite! It is the stuff of nightmare, I say.
