Stone Beetles are perhaps the worst kind of pest there is. No one knows exactly where they cae from–some suggest they were transformed by magical contamination, while others suspect they were bred by a medusa. While a Stone Beetle cannot cause any harm, it is the bane of people everywhere because it is almost impossible to kill. Though it looks no different than a normal cockroach, if a Stone Beetle is about to die, it will turn itself to stone until all danger is gone, making it far, far harder to kill. Once there is nothing within the range of its tremorsense, it will revert, and scurry back to whatever it was doing.
Stone Carapace (Su)
As a swift action, a Stone Beetle may turn itself into stone, like the statue spell. It may remain in this form indefinitely.
