Beetle
Beetles are large insects found in the Roots. They wander around aimlessly until a player walks by, in which case they will run up to them and attempt to throw them. However, they will never stray too far from their initial spawn point, and as such quickly lose interest in fleeing players. Beetles may sometimes spawn in groups.
When a player is thrown, they are ragdolled for 1 second and launched diagonally upwards and away from the Beetle. The attack deals no damage by itself, but the player could be thrown off a cliff, causing 
Injury from fall damage.
