As a result of this, Death Beetles are large enough to loom over a [[Land Raider]], take on any role in a battle and are also hard to kill. Even if they do die though, there is a chance that a slain Death Beetle will simply get back up and start attacking again. However despite their many strengths, Death Beetles are rarely encountered when compared to the other variants of the Carnifex.{{Fn|88b}}
