Type Ensnaring Life
Official Description
Beetles that can be found in star-shaped clusters. Once established in a location, they remain stationary there for ages. Their shells are covered in a type of dust that reacts to external stimuli, yielding a change in the creature's color. Upon impact, such as from a monster, the dust detonates. While this detonation will cause harm to creatures exposed to it, the beetles themselves are protected by their hard shells, and will simply flee.

Colored Uncolored

You'll sometimes find Starburst Bugs that are already colored thanks to reacting to their environment, so you won't always have to bring an elemental weapon. Note that the color also determines the blight their explosive dust can inflict.
