Giant Beetles were first seen in the company of the Solen ants in their hives. It is believed that the ants bred them for use in carrying heavy loads of dirt and rock from their myriad digging operations. Giant Beetles can be tamed and used for this very purpose, much like a pack horse, and can simultaneously be used as a mount.
Before Taming they are actually rather strong and quite capable of killing weaker characters. If they have a ranged attack used on them they run at Paragon like speeds to catch up with their attacker. They have to have their health taken down until they are *Beaten into subjugation* before they can be tamed. Once this is accomplished, anybody can control the Giant Beetle and ride it.
Like pack horses it can be used to store items, 1600 stones to be exact (on top of their own body weight of 13 stones). It can be ridden while it is carrying items but will become fatigued if the weight of the rider and pack come to more that 1600 stones (this prevents you from running (not walking) until the weight is removed).
When Properly trained to all GM levels it can be one of the more powerful pets that do not require any taming skill to own. It requires 3 control slots and eats meat. Therefore if dragging meat onto it for storage it will eat it, open the backpack and drop items of that type in there.
