Ocypus olens, the Devil's Coach Horse

The devil's coach horse is a large beetle native to much of Europe and northern Africa. Even from birth, it is an aggressive hunter of other invertebrates, but its final instar is a truly fearsome subterranean nightmare. It raises its abdomen, spraying noxious chemicals from glands near the tip - confusing predators and prey alike.
You'll encounter the devil's coach horse beetle in the first levels of Empires of the Undergrowth's campaign.

For a second I thought this was gonna be a teaser for an updated model, not that the DCH really needs one

[@g00fy_bo17]

Jeremy is as perfect as he should be

[@VanguardEndeavor]

@@g00fy_bo17 Agreed

[@mosasaurus2211]

I always find that slug disco made the model of the devil’s coach horse beetle truly living up to it’s name Especially that face and it’s mandibles, and most importantly, the animation and sound effects

[@shaon1412]

sound being a unique creation of great sir Liam; I still remember and laugh at him just screaming at the microphone to make the sound effect.

[@Levmih]

I still can’t believe how great the narrator and the music fit together, it creates such an amazing atmosphere ngl

[@lanceangelobaynosa]

That's the plan, gonna keep going through the game doing these 30s-1m shorts for the more noteworthy critters

[@2-AZ1-BE]

That's cool, a small showcase of the creatures may help whit the promotion of the game and catching people's atention.

[@jonaswerner8480]

Honestly, the forest ants are probably the best ants so far in the game Very good even against the horse beetle larva

[@Balearius]

YES YES YES, I NEED THIS VIDEO

[@diegooteroczeisler]

I need to find out how to get these angles! any tips?

[@renaultft1917]

I'm assuming you're playing on PC and haven't changed the keybinds. There is a photo mode you can access in a level by pressing "F9". This photo mode will **not** allow you to look in certain angles. HOWEVER, if you hold the shift key while pressing F9 (Shift+F9) you'll get a more advanced photo mode which lets you view any angle you want. Photo mode can be navigated through the number pad. I believe you can also change these keybinds in the menu. Hope this helped!

[@Thee_mus1cradi0]

When will your next update come for empires of the undergrowth? Can you put honey pot ants in?

[@ThemagpieBird734]

one of the most Iconic predators in-game, its the first one you see too (probably). How's progress on teir five and what is the ant speicies that wasn't [SPOILERS] the matabele ants or the driver ants?
