**AC:** 15 **HP:** 75 **Speed:** [object Object] **STR:** 3 **DEX:** 16 **CON:** 16 **INT:** 1 **WIS:** 13 **CHA:** 2 _These clicking, turquoise-colored beetles have faintly luminescent golden glyphs on their backs, which grow brighter as they draw near._ Manabane scarabs are vermin infused with the ancient magic of fallen desert empires. _**Devour Magic.**_ Whether from gnawing on the flesh of the undead or nesting in areas rife with lingering enchantment, these beetles have developed a taste for the power of magic even as its power has marked them. The graven glyphs on their carapaces resemble the priestly cuneiform of long-dead kingdoms, and the more magical energy they consume, the brighter they glow, up to the equivalent of a torch. Manabane scarabs pursue magic without hesitation or fear, tirelessly seeking to drain it for sustenance.
