Jovian Beatle

   Scholars from around the world argue over it's orgin, but most believe it to be a relic from an ancient people.  Those who have had contact with this being, describe it as a simple creature with no appairent desires of it's own.

This being has no known needs, and the degree of it's intelligence is questionable.  But it is capable of preforming rather complicated tasks, allbeit at a slow pace.  These qualities have led some scholars to believe its origional purpose may have been as some sort mages' lab assistant.  However, in battle this bohemith has proven it is more then capable of aquiring targets and "dispatching" them.
