Khepri

The Khepri monster race is named for the god Khepri. Seen as a beetle that would push the sun though a part of the underworld. This large beetle monster can use fire or solar magic to shoot flames as well as other things. When damaged to much they often explode.

Naturally they can be a pain to deal with considering there death often causes collateral damage. They go from the size of a dog to the size of a rhino or elephant.

History
This monster has been around for as long as any accounts can go back, they often cause trouble for small settlements and there are a lot of them.

Magics & Abilities
The Khepri monster can use it's magic in a few ways, often shooting flames or fire balls from there mouths. It seems there magic is stored in there abdomen witch glows with power. It seems to be a natural liquid lacrima. This is why they tend to explode when damaged enough as the liquid reacts with the air and becomes volatile. They seem breed almost like normal insects so this does not really have much of an impact on the population.

Culture
As insects they have a good size as far as population goes, the Khepri's high numbers make it a pain even without the size and magic use. Culture wize they just act like insects so they have none.
