'''Megascarabs''' are a type of [[Insectoid]] found in [[Biome#Desert|regular]] and [[Biome#Extreme desert|extreme deserts]], [[infestation]]s or inside [[ancient shrine]]s, including inside the [[Ancient cryptosleep casket|caskets]]. They are ground beetles of metallic color that posses elytra, a protective shell resistant to blunt damage by 18% and sharp damage by 72%. Megascarabs are hazardous to hunt, for if they are injured by a human or a mechanoid, they will turn [[Mental break#Manhunter|manhunter]] and attack any human or mechanoid on the map they can reach. If slain, they can be butchered for insect meat. Colonists dislike eating any insect meat, but meat-eating animals have no such problem.
  
== Summary ==
+
Like all insectoids, they experience [[hypothermic slowdown]] instead of [[hypothermia]] and have 0 [[Toxic Sensitivity]], rendering them immune to [[toxic buildup]] from any source.

{{Main|Infestation#Analysis|l1=Infestation}}
 
Megascarabs are the smallest and fastest of the 3 insectoid types, and will often catch up to colonists and "lock" them into melee. It may be wiser to focus on bigger targets, like [[megaspider]]s, as they are stronger in combat.
 
 
[[Melee block]] tactics work well against infestations in general. In an open field, [[kiting]] works well, as even megascarabs are slower than a healthy human.
 
 
===Taming===
 
Megascarabs offer no real niche as a tamed pet, however they ''can'' be tamed. Unlike the larger insects, they can generate non-hostile, and are found naturally in deserts.
