Giant rhinoceros beetle (Earth-2165)

The giant rhinoceros beetle is a large species of insect native to the Si Wong Desert. Named after their immense size and facial prongs, these creatures are commonly used by beetle-headed merchants as beasts of burden.

History
In spring 225 AG, beetle-headed merchants used their giant rhinoceros beetles to drag the flying bison Appa to a wooden gate. But before the beetles could pull Appa towards the city of Ba Sing Se, they were flipped as Appa took off. The animals were saved by their owners after one of the merchants tranquilized Appa with shirsu-spit darts.

Anatomy
The gargantuan insect species possess a massive green shell that serves as their natural protection, alongside its prong. It exhbitis small beady eyes and six legs, as most insects.
