When transforming creatures, you are accountable for the survival of the creature. All creatures will transfigure back into themselves because of the force of nature. Willpower is the most important when dealing with animate creatures. When animals get frightened, they use their flight or fight sense to determine the best chance at surviving the encounter.

Beetles

Beetles are tiny, vary in size & are simple creatures. Ground beetles are insects that eat their prey. They are found everywhere except the polar area & the sea. These beetles have a head, thorax, abdomen, & six legs. They also have an exoskeleton & two pairs of wings; one to protect their body, & one to fly.
