'''Frost Beetles''' are heavily-armored, intelligent [[Rahi]].

== History ==
The Frost Beetle species was created by the [[Makuta]] using [[Virus]]es and [[Protodermis#Liquid Protodermis|Liquid Protodermis]] to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the [[Matoran Universe]].{{BookCitation|MGttU|entryname=The Makuta|page=63}}

A population of Frost Beetles made their home in [[Ko-Metru]], establishing their habitat near the [[Knowledge Towers]]. They were more than capable of driving almost all other Rahi life out of Ko-Metru and claiming it as their territory, but instead they spent most of their time trying to force their way into the Knowledge Towers, even succeeding to break in sometimes. Once inside, they ignored [[Matoran]], Rahi, and [[Vahki]] alike—instead, they headed straight for the [[Memory Crystal]]s stored inside and consumed them. Occasionally, they mistook [[Knowledge Crystal]]s for Memory Crystals and devoured them instead.{{BookCitation|RB|entryname=Frost Beetle|page=29}}

No Frost Beetles were ever spotted on the island of {{p|Mata Nui|Location}}.{{BookCitation|BEU|34|entryname=Frost Beetles}}

After the [[Great Spirit Robot]] was critically damaged in the [[Battle of Bara Magna]], many Frost Beetles emigrated from the Matoran Universe to [[Spherus Magna]].{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=300|post=11964|lines=5,12}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
Frost Beetles are large and hostile, and possess razor-sharp claws and near Matoran-level intelligence.

It was often said in passing that the Beetles had obtained this intelligence because their habitat was so close to the Knowledge Towers. Some dismissed this as a mere coincidence, but the [[Ko-Matoran]] scholar [[Matoro]] theorized that long ago, some Beetles managed to acquire and consume several Memory Crystals, somehow absorbing the knowledge stored inside. That knowledge was passed through to the entire species through a hive mind, increasing all of their intelligence levels.{{BookCitation|RB|entryname=Frost Beetle|page=29}}
