View source for Swarm of scarab beatles

{{battle|text=These bugs clearly neither want to hold your hand or be your man. They skitter along helter-skelter, looking for a chance to make you twist and shout. You feel like you should run for your life, or at least get some help.
|hit=They gnaw on your {{part}}. How could they gnaw on another, when they saw you standing there? {{ouch|4}}

They gnaw through you skin until your inside is out and your outside is in. {{ouch|4}}

You tell the beatles that you love them, but that only causes them to chew on you more. You should hide that stuff away, man. {{ouch|4}}

They paw you with their velvety claws, but you're well acquainted with the touch of a velvet hand, like a lizard on a windowpane. {{ouch|3}}
|critical=They fumble around inside their respective carapaces for a second and each produce a tiny silver hammer. They then bring those silver hammers down upon your head, intent on making sure that you are dead. Bang bang! {{ouch|5}}
|miss=They try to gnaw on your {{part}}, but you dodge so your life goes on, bra.

They try to pull out your internal organs, but you keep your inside in and your outside out.

You remember that beatles are attracted to love, so you hide your love away.

They try to claw you, but your hands are busy working overtime, brushing them away.

|fumble=They rise into the air and swarm toward you, intent on picking your flesh from your bones, but a female scarab beatle arrives and starts making an unholy screeching noise. One of the beatles seems to like it, but the rest fly away.}}
