Vampa Beetle

Vampa Beetles, also known as GoliamitesDragon Ball Super Card Game (2017) or , are a species of bugs found on planet Vampa.
==Overview==
Vampa Beetles live on Planet Vampa and are capable of sucking out nutrients from living beings, as seen when they surround Beets and Paragus and begin to drink from the beast they're standing on top of. Broly kills one of them when called by his father to help him, not long after Lemo and Cheelai arrived. Since Broly has been shown eating them and their eggs, they seem to be edible. In addition, they seem to be highly nutritious and contain a lot of water, as Broly was able thrive on Planet Vampa all his life by consuming exclusively Vampa Beetles and their eggs, and not drinking a drop of pure water until meeting Cheelai. However, their flesh is sour and foul tasting according to Cheelai and Lemo.
==Power==
These creatures are very powerful life-forms, as Paragus states that a power level of 920 would not be enough to beat one. Paragus, whose power level was 4,200 was too intimidated to fight one and chose to call Broly instead. However, they were defeated by the young Great Ape Broly - whose power level could go from 9,200 - 100,000.
Despite their power, a single Vampa Beetle is no match for a Vampa Beast which will prey upon Vampa Beetles whom are both the Vampa Beast's natural prey and parasites. As a result, Vampa Beetles have evolved to feed on Vampa Beasts in groups to increase their odds of successfully feeding. However, Vampa Beetles will not hesitate to predate on non-native lifeforms such as Paragus, Beets, Broly, Cheelai, and Lemo. This along with their mobility makes them the second most dangerous lifeform native to Vampa.
