Omnipedia entry

Brachinus sclopeta

Grassland Zone

With a sudden "poof," the Bombardier Beetle sprays a foul, scalding gas produced by mixing chemicals from two special glands.

This gas is so potent that even if the beetle is already in the maws of a predator, the nasty blast will make them spit it back out and run for the hills.

Scientists are currently studying how to mimic this explosive propulsion for high-speed transportation.
