Origin
Ordinary food hoarding turned into the elaborate construction of a protective capsule that resists drying out.

A blue-turquoise beetle with four thick limbs, pushing a separate big golden mineral ball with three ochre spots.

Evolution
Line E-15: Mineral Beetle
Scarabrite → Armorhorn
Condition: development in soils rich in metals.
Scarabrite can already gather minerals into external structures. In Armorhorn this ability carries over to its own shell, while the front of the body grows bulkier and sprouts a mighty horn.
