Illustration (player-safe)
A palm-sized cave beetle used in Niederstadt lamp cages. Its translucent abdomen gives a steady low glow when fed and healthy.
Most locals treat lamp beetles like moving infrastructure: useful, fragile, and slightly unsettling up close.
Common rumors
- A hungry lamp beetle goes from dark purple to weak blue-green.
