Mentioned in the novel Tower of Doom, skull beetles are so-called by the patches of dark coloring along their waxy carapaces that resemble smiling human skulls.[1] The bettle's powerful venom causes any flesh it touches to quickly rot away with no cure.[2] It quickly spreads if not stopped by amputation.

The skull beetle received a writeup in the netbook article Creeping Dooms in the Book of Sacrifices. Skull beetles are solitary and overly aggressive (to even the point of suicide) beetles despite their miniscule sizes. People throughout the Core dread them for their instantly fatal, poisonous bites and ability to spew acid from their mouths. Luckily, they confine themselves to moist or water-logged areas such as marshes and swamps.[3]
