Monster: Ether Scarab

Monster: Ether Scarab

Ether scarabs are the prey species of the Ethereal Plane that developed an ability to tear planar boundaries with their mandibles to escape predators. When slain on the Material Plane, they explode, forming a portal to the Ethereal Plane. How cool is that?
