How to Obtain

Bug Catching

Proudhorned Stag Beetles have a small chance to spawn when breaking Stone or Copper Ore nodes anywhere in Kilima Valley. They can be found at any time of day.

Behavior

Proudhorned Stag Beetles do not spawn naturally, and can only be occasionally encountered while Mining.

Because they spawn after a node has been broken, Proudhorned Stag Beetles will immediately attempt to flee in a straight line away from the player. Although they are not particularly fast, Proudhorned Stag Beetles do not stop moving once startled, which means players should quickly throw Smoke Bombs before they disappear.
