Dialogue When Caught

I caught a cyclommatus stag! Those mandibles are a mouthful!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The cyclommatus stag is known for its giant jaws, which can be even larger than its body.

  Its round eyes and silver color make it a beloved beetle. Though how one could love a beetle is beyond me.

  Imagine being pinched by those long jaws, and the pain it would cause! Ouch and ewww!
