The Clawbug is one of the more dangerous monsters encountered on B1F of the first stratum. They are powerful enough to possibly one-hit kill new characters with low HP. They also have a very high defense. The only effective way to kill them is with elemental attacks, and even so, it may take two hits to take them down.

With enough experience and better weaponry, it's resistance to physical attacks can be overcome. They can be encountered throughout the entirety of the first stratum.

Clawbugs first appear on the 12F of the Frozen Grounds. Clawbugs can take a lot of physical damage before going down, it is recommended to use elemental attacks to defeat them.

Clawbugs early on into the 12F tend to face you by themselves, but by the end of the floor they will start fighting alongside companions or in multiples. On higher floors of this stratum they will usually be paired with Hugecrabs in greater and greater numbers, or with other types of monsters.

Claw Beetles can be encountered in Ravine Fork, Haunted Woods, Mysterious Forest and Phantom Depths.

This monster acts as a protector of other monsters, making them impossible to hit with Shell Wall that redirects attacks to it. Its Hardened Shell skill allows it to survive several attacks from a character regardless of its equipment and level. To kill it more easily you can bypass his skill with a Skill Bind or defense-ignoring damages like Poison damage or you can use multiple hit attacks like Glacier Rune.

Its Cut, Stab and Bash Resistance are Resistance +. This monster is an Insect type monster.

Skills[]

  • Shell Wall (Uses Arms): "For 5 turns, uses its shell to increase defense and transfer damage of nearby allies to itself." The monster is in the state of Cover, meaning that it takes damage in place of adjacent allies.
  • Hardened Shell (Uses None): "Will only take a fixed amount of damage thanks to its durable shell." Passive skill. All attacks inflicted on the monster deal 2 HP of damage to it. This skill can be cancelled with a Skill Bind to inflict normal damage which is usually enough to one-shot the monster. Attacks that ignore defense like Hexer's Revenge ignore this skill.

Drops[]

  • Hard Shell (Worth: 15 en)
  • Beetle Sickle (Worth: 20 en)
  • Broken Horn (Conditional) (Worth: 25 en)

Conditional Drop[]

  • To get the Claw Beetle's conditional drop, the Broken Horn, it must be defeated by a Bash attack.
