🪲 Dangerous Armored Bug

The Dangerous Armored Bug is the tougher variant of the regular Armored Bug in Stardew Valley. It appears in the Mines when the Shrine of Challenge is active after completing Mr. Qi’s quest “Danger in the Deep”. These bugs retain immunity to normal weapons but have increased health and damage compared to their normal counterpart.

Like standard Armored Bugs, they can only be defeated with a weapon enchanted with the Bug Killer ability.
