Ecology

Clockwork Beetle is a built thing, requiring no food or rest; its presence in the world depends on whoever (or whatever) animates it. It is most often found in any regions. It is tiny-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.

Behaviour

Clockwork Beetle is follows its programming or its master's orders without deviation. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is largely instinct-driven; complex strategy is the work of whoever (or whatever) commands it.

Origin

Clockwork Beetle is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 1 (2016). Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
