Neopterons (Japanese: 甲虫種 Kōchūshu, "Beetle species") are insectoid monsters known for their rigid carapaces. As such, they bear a passing resemblance to the other arthropod-like monsters, the arachnoid-like Temnocerans and crustacean-like Carapaceons, although they are fundamentally different. Neopteron monsters can range in size from tiny to enormous, and some species can fly, while others cannot. Neopterons are also usually very susceptible to poison and fire, yet hold quite a resistance to the Dragon Element. Their materials are often used to make very sharp weapons.
