I like how the fire on its back kinda looks like an eye...imagine if this form can "evolve" into a more powerful being and we see the monster with the fire eye #steemteamfire

Woohoo! Here's the @Monsterworld entry for this week's contest, excited for the next one!

I've never done much creative writing so I'm afraid I'll pass on this one.... I'll be sure to read the entries though!

I did a fast concept sketch of the Fire Beetle going in for a "Flame Strike!" Check it out if you'd like here and another one, "Fiery Drool" here.

Maybe it will help all you content writers become more immersed into the character. Good Luck Everybody!

I'm not a good writer.

But that Beetle has gone to HELL and came back from there.
