Abilities
Bombardier's Spray (acid, primal) — The cataclysm beetle sprays a 60-foot cone of acid from its abdomen that deals 12d10 acid damage (DC 40 Reflex). It can't use Bombardier's Spray or Burning Pool for 1d4 rounds.
Burning Pool (acid, primal) — The cataclysm beetle spills acid directly from its abdomen, creating a wave of acid that deals 10d12 acid damage to all creatures in a 30-foot emanation (DC 40 Fortitude). Creatures that fail this save are pushed back 10 feet from the cataclysm beetle (30 feet on a critical failure). It can't use Bombardier's Spray or Burning Pool for 1d4 rounds.
