Damage ------ : 1-D12 (+ 1-D12 per 2 levels).

Range -------- : 1 space (5').

Attack type - : Sharp.

Special ------- : Freezing Saliva: The watery saliva of this beetle is extremely cold, causing 1-D6 cold damage to the area bitten per turn for 1-D4 turns. Even if the initial bite does not penetrate armor, or is turned by the armor, it's icy saliva will seep in, saturating the area of the body struck and do continual damage. Further more, where the Ice Beetle walks, it's saliva will drip onto the surface of the ground and instantly freeze, causing slipping hazards. Any who step into the space it has traveled must make a successful avoidance-roll vs. "Coordination" or fall (as if an attack of 01-02 had been rolled), losing his or her turn and having to roll on the falling chart to see if anything other than a simple fall occurs.
