The Beetle Aparoid is a multi-purpose heavy attack craft utilized by the Aparoids. 

Characteristics

The Beetle Aparoid looks something like a beetle or cockroach, or a mix of the two. It has four appendages, two for steering and two for firing. They are bigger and slower than typical Aparoid Flyers, but carry more weapons(and can be VERY annoying). They are armed with a forward facing laser cannon, that, like typical fighters, is purple in color, The ship is also armed with general purpose missiles. The missiles can only be avoided by somersalting, U-Turns, or barrel-rolling just before it hits you.
