Effect The ironclad annihilator beetle stomps the ground. All creatures within a 30-foot emanation must succeed at a DC 44 Fortitude saving throw or fall <a href="/condition/prone">Prone</a> and become <a href="/condition/stunned">Stunned 1</a> (stunned for 1 round on a critical failure).

Earthquake Stomp

Requirements The ironclad annihilator beetle has a creature <a href="/condition/grabbed">Grabbed</a><hr/>Effect The ironclad annihilator injects its ovipositor under the grabbed creature&#x27;s skin. The creature takes 4d6+20 bludgeoning damage (DC 44 Basic Fortitude). On a failed save, the beetle implants an egg, and the target creature takes 4d6 bleed that is unusually tenacious. The DC to stop the bleeding using Administer First Aid is DC 40 Medicine, and healing the creature to full Hit Points doesn&#x27;t automatically stop the bleeding. If the target creature dies from this bleed damage, its body is destroyed and unrecoverable except with powerful magic such as <a href="/spell/miracle">Miracle</a> or <a href="/spell/wish">Wish</a>, and an immature ironclad annihilator beetle (with statistics as a @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.pathfinder-monster-core.Actor.Giant Stag Beetle]) bursts forth.

Oviposit

When an ironclad annihilator damages an item or structure, it deals an additional 2d10 damage to that item or structure.
