Flying Beetle (Japanese: 羽ばたきカブト) is a monster in  Etrian Mystery Dungeon.

This monster acts as a protector of other monsters, making them impossible to hit with Crab Shell that redirects attacks to it. Its Hardened Shell skill allows it to survive several attacks from a character regardless of its equipment and level. To kill it more easily you can bypass his skill with a Skill Bind or defense-ignoring damages like Poison damage or you can use multiple hit attacks like Glacier Rune.

Skills

Name		Body Part	In-Game Description	Effects
English	Japanese
Crab Shell	クラブウォール	Arms	For 5 turns, uses its shell to increase defense and transfer damage of nearby allies to itself.	The monster is in the state of Cover, meaning that it takes damage in place of adjacent allies.
Hardened Shell	堅牢な防御	None	Will only take a fixed amount of damage thanks to its durable shell.	Passive skill. All attacks inflicted on the monster deal 2 HP of damage to it. This skill can be cancelled with a Skill Bind to inflict normal damage which is usually enough to one-shot the monster. Attacks that ignore defense like Hexer's Revenge ignore this skill.
