As though a warning, or perhaps a welcome or blessing to others, the coloration and shape of a flying, approaching beetle will look like a fluttering, pink heart. The origin of these creatures is unknown, but they have taken Assiah by storm due to the effects of their defensive acidic body fluids. The acids of these beetles have been tested and confirmed to have extremely diluted traces of D-cum.

In males, initial exposure to the acids of these creatures temporarily and dramatically increases sexual desire, much like an aphrodisiac, and is for the most part harmless. However, it should be noted that the sensitivity of a victim's sexual organs remains permanently increased, and the aphrodisiac is highly addictive. For this reason, Demon Beetles have become a popular, illegal black market item.

Nevertheless, the chemicals that the beetles discharge permanently remains in the body and accumulate over time with continued use. Continued application of these creatures may eventually lead to mild sexual transformations due to greater accumulations of the beetle's chemicals. This is most likely due to the D-cum having accumulated to a high enough concentration to take effect. Cases have been reported with some abusers having grown sexually-related organs on areas that have seen contact with the liquid before. The most common transformations are the growth of additional penises in the groin area and the growth and/or expansion of a vagina.

The first sign of over-abuse typically comes in the form of antennae and is difficult to conceal. This aggravates the addiction even further as the antennae allow the abuser to pinpoint nearby Demon Beetles with which to abuse further. Such addicts describe this ability as a sort of synesthesia, like being able to see the beetles through sound and smell. More severe transformations are induced with even further exposure. Heavy addicts have been known to have grown numerous additional genitals and insectile features such as compound eyes, mandibles, beetle legs, proboscises, and carapaces replacing various areas of the skin. These insectile features are themselves also prone to sexual transformation, as seen below.

In the most extreme cases, the addict resembles more of an anthropomorphic version of the Demon Beetle than a human being. Despite their frightening appearance, these individuals are still sane as long as there is no chemical currently in their system. At this point, however, they care for little else beyond having sex and seeking the next sexual high.

The behavior of wild Demon Beetles varies depending on the gender of nearby mammals. However, they may still be classified as hostile to all, as they have a tendency to shoot their acid both as a defensive measure when threatened, and as a territorial measure. The latter is the case when males are close by. After shooting their initial load, the beetles may use their mandibles to clamp on tightly to the victim and continue to dispatch acid while attached. At this point, the victim must leave the area for the beetle to cease its attack, or destroy the beetle by crushing using the hands. This is not preferable, though, as this would release the entirety of its acidic contents.

In the case of females, the beetle or beetles will deploy swarm tactics to both shoot their acidic bodily contents onto the victim's body and attempt to forcefully inhabit her womb, as they may reproduce by having anywhere from a single to a few of the beetles entering through the victim's vagina. In about one week or so, depending on the number of invaders, she would begin laying clusters of sticky insect eggs in an instinctive matter. These eggs have been recorded to consistently begin hatching within 2 hours, birthing dozens more of the beetles. The beetles will then promptly head toward the nest where the original swarm originated from. Though the beetles' primary means of production is through their queen, they have been known to make "expeditions" in relatively small groups. The theory behind this behavior is to expand their genetic pool to increase their survivability.

The location of the nests of these beetles is normally in secluded, unpopulated areas, and can be extremely difficult to find. About once every three years, a swarm of beetles from the nest will seek out a fertile, female victim to transform her into a new queen, with which a new nest will be created. In one recent recorded case, a couple (of whom they shall remain anonymous) set out on a hiking trip, only for the female to be haplessly set upon by one of these swarms. From the man's report, the swarm of beetles quickly descended from the sky and enveloped her. They entered her womb until no more could possibly fit, and they completely covered her in their acid. Within minutes, she was transformed into an anthropomorphic version of these beetles. She was reported to have "enormous breasts, lots of vaginas all over her body, like they were meant for making more of those things, and a forest of dripping cocks in her crotch".

The husband then promptly ran away in terror. He managed to escape but not without receiving heavy acidic exposure as he was chased down for about two miles while being shot at by the pursuing swarm of beetles. As a result, he now has four large breasts aligned in two rows on his front and a large, constantly wet vagina behind his original ballsack extending the entire length of the area between the buttocks. His original penis has grown tremendously to 15" in length when erect. The middle finger and thumb of his left hand and the index and ring fingers of his right hand have been turned into penises, resulting from shielding himself and attempting wipe the acid off his body using his hands. Large testicles hang from the palms of his hands. On his back, he has three large lactating breasts, eight large penises, twenty-one ballsacks, and eleven vaginas. All are randomly located. As a distinctive mark of Demon Beetles, he now has antennae, compound eyes, chitin covering approximately half of his body, and a penis for a proboscis with which he has control over and can feed with. Two pairs of beetle legs extend from his sides and are the same size and length of his human arms. All of his new sexual additions are highly sensitive, and he himself occasionally has difficulty retaining control over his body, entering periods where the urge to masturbate becomes overwhelming. He is currently under rehabilitation but is currently showing no signs of improvement.
