Fire beetle is a type of monster in ADOM. Fire beetles are surprisingly hardy insects, that can prove difficult to damage in melee for weak PCs around the start of the game. They unsurprisingly are immune to fire, but do not possess any special attacks (fiery or otherwise). Unlike other creatures with "fire" in their name, they are not particularly vulnerable to cold attacks.

| - Fire beetle is a type of monster in ADOM. Fire beetles are surprisingly hardy insects, that can prove difficult to damage in melee for weak PCs around the start of the game. They unsurprisingly are immune to fire, but do not possess any special attacks (fiery or otherwise). Unlike other creatures with "fire" in their name, they are not particularly vulnerable to cold attacks.
- Fire Beetle is a creature that was introduced in the Lowdown in Highport article/adventure by Thomas M. Reid in Dungeon #221. It was added as an alternative to the "beetle, giant (fire)" creature in the original adventure. [Du221:16]
- Fire Beetles are neutral level 1 beetles found skittering about in the volcanic regions of the Eastern Kingdoms, the Searing Gorge and the Burning Steppes. They require the high temperature and humidity to survive. They are also inexplicably found in the fiery corridors of Shattered Halls in the Hellfire Citadel.
- Race: vermin Alignment: true neutral Armor class: 10 Hit points: 4 Attack bonus: +0 Damage: 2d4 slashing damage (creature weapon) Hit dice (level): 1 Challenge rating: 1/4 Size: medium Trained skills:(‡) listen (3), spot (3) Feats: darkvision, weapon proficiency (creature)
- Fire Beetles are tiny red insectoids from the forest moon of Endor. They are tunnel-dwellers, and use bioluminescence - likely to locate one another in the dark passageways. They are often found illuminating tunnels in places such as Fleebog.
- A pair of iridescent green sacs on its pronotum. The sacs when filled with its venom, emit a bright glow, not unlike a small LED diode. These sacs serve a dual purpose, the Fire Beetle attracts other insects toward it before it leaps and utilizes its limited flight mobility.

| - Eating a fire beetle has a 50% chance of granting the PC intrinsic fire resistance.
Note that the message "You suddenly feel very hot!" is generated whenever a fire beetle is eaten, whether or not fire resistance has been gained; the only certain ways of knowing if the PC has received fire resistance from eating one is by the effects of a potion of insight or Revelation.

| - This dark red insect is a regular hazard for those who venture into the earth. Steam rises from within its rock-hard carapace. Its infernal temperament makes it quick to anger, although it may be relatively complacent after feeding on a hapless adventurer.
