Pyre Beetles (Aetheric Realms)

Pyre Beetles are primitive proto-insects that stalk the aether.
==Description==
These creatures look like incredibly small, misshapen scarabs that collect in swarms. Mostly black in color, they glow with a pale light when they've fed recently.
==Lore==
A character knows the following information with a successful Arcana check:
DC 15: They glow for a short time after feeding on lesser aether beasts. The colour of light they produce is dependent on what variety of Aether beast they have ingested.
