As long as it isn't giant spiders, I could deal with all of the beetles. But in this case it's just the Death Watch ones. They're not really harmful, and people in Nevarra do keep them as pets. And I can't let them into the desert, they'll wreck the native landscape.
Knowing Xenon? I wouldn't be surprised. I'm still surprised he's not just in his chair, as he always is. On one hand, good for him?
