Bitaru (Soildigger Evolution) - 5E Stats + Art

Bitaru is a powerful, beetle-like drake with a hardened
exoskeleton that can deflect both weapons and magic.
Once a humble Soildigger Evernewt, it transforms into a
formidable guardian, often kept by farmers and rural
communities to protect livestock from predators and
thieves.
Bitaru is known for its unyielding loyalty to the land it
protects. It will defend its territory fiercely, standing as a
watchful protector against those who would bring harm to
fields, homes, or creatures under its care. Despite its size
and strength, it remains gentle toward those it trusts, often
seen plowing fields or reinforcing burrows when not
engaged in battle.
Its droppings, known as "magic soil," are highly prized by
farmers and alchemists, as they cause any seed planted
within to sprout instantly. Fields enriched with this soil
flourish beyond natural means, making Bitaru one of the
most valued creatures in agrarian life.
Though not inherently aggressive, threaten its domain,
and you will find yourself facing an unstoppable force of
nature.
