Spawning below Y0 within the Deep Dark these mobs have adapted to take advantage of the darkness. Its appearance is a mixture between a spider and a beetle having long legs with a body low to the ground and an armored head. However, it's most notable features is the two shield like protrusions coming from both sides of its head. These protrusions are its main weapon in not just defending itself, but also crippling unsuspecting players.
The Deep Dark as the name suggested is a very dark place with very little light. The Deco Beatle uses this to an advantage as its side shields have a luminous glow that looks like other mobs (Skeleton, Zombie, etc). When not engaging it will skulk around the darkness like any other mob, but when sensing a player it will raise its shields and slowly approach the player wanting them to believe a Skeleton/Zombie is approaching them. If they player falls for this ploy and hit's the fake mob... their weapons will temporarily get disabled allowing the Deco Beetle to go on the offensive and attack with quick ferocity while the player is defenseless. This can be overcomed by using an Axe of hitting it right on the head to send it scurrying away. A useful tip for players to naturally learn how to best counter Shields out of PvP.
