Glacial crawlers of the frozen underground
Cyan Beetles are cold-hardened insects that crawl across icy walls and frozen stalactites within the Underground Snow biome. Sporting bright cyan shells adapted to subterranean frost, they move at a leisurely pace with 40 health and 10 defense, clinging to chilly stone blocks.
Collecting cyan husks for custom dye brewing
While their contact deals 20 damage in Classic and 40 in Expert, Cyan Beetles are easy to dispatch from a safe distance using bows or spears. Slaying them guarantees the Cyan Husk at a 100% rate, which can be processed at a Dye Vat to craft Cyan Dye for armor and vanity personalization.
Trivia
- Cyan Beetles are the frozen biome equivalent of the Cavern's Cochineal Beetle and Underground Desert's Lac Beetle.
- Their bright cyan shells stand out clearly against white snow and dark ice blocks.
