The Leeds Stag Beetles

Red Stag Beetle - The Red Leeds Stag Beetles produce a concentrated adrenaline secretion which causes them to be much more aggressive than the other variants.

Once per Twelves, a Lineage can apply Red Beetle secretion to their tongue which causes the next Combat skill they use to cost 5 less Mind, to a minimum of 1 Mind. 

A Lineage can eat the Red Stag Beetle to increase their physical capabilities. This causes all physical damage from all base melee or ranged strikes to do an additional 3 damage for the next 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the adrenaline wears off and causes the character to be unable to run or move quickly for the next hour. All combat strikes should be roleplayed sluggishly and slowly until this effect ends. Using this effect destroys the Stag Beetle.

Purple Stag Beetle - The Purple Stag Beetle produces a secretion that enhances non-anomaly based mental prowess.

A Lineage can eat the Purple Stag Beetle to gain increased intelligence beyond their normal capacities. For the next hour, the User can aid another Target character using an Artisan, Agricultural, or Culinary skill to reduce the time by 10 minutes per 5 Mind spent. The User must roleplay offering insight, advice, or other assistance to the Target the entire time they are using the rushed skill. This time cannot be reduced below 30 seconds.  After the effect ends, the Strain that consumed the beetle loses the ability to speak for the next 30 minutes. Using this effect destroys the Stag Beetle.

Green Stag Beetle - The Green Stag Beetles produces a secretion that hardens their carapace and increases their endurance.

A Lineage can eat the Green Stag Beetle to provide a burst of endurance and a coolness of mind that hones their survival instincts to a peak.

A Lineage can eat the Black Stag Beetle to increase their Anomaly abilities. This causes all Anomaly skills to cost 5 less mind for the next 30 minutes, to a minimum of 1 Mind.
