Scarabs, a member of the Scarabaeidae family of beetles, which have often become associated with magic, power, or divinity. Scarabs have long been viewed with reverence by many human cultures, with the Trope Maker being Egyptian Mythology, making this trope Older Than Dirt. They come in many different shapes, with the iconic one being the Sacred Scarab Beetle, Scarabaeus sacer. Whenever a scarab beetle appears, it is usually being shown as something of importance, power, magical or some manner of divine. Or when the thing is based on a scarab, implying the same. If something, or someone is using a Scarab as their name or symbol, expect them to be powerful, or important to the story. A note: Japanese Beetle Brothers is a related trope to this, but might not be incredibly obvious at first glancenote The Kabutomushi (Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle) and Kuwagatamushi (Stag Beetle) are both members of the Scarab family, so there may often be some overlap between the two. Sometimes overlaps with Thunder Beetle or Tough Beetles. |

In LEGO Dimensions, one of the Foundation Elements is a Diamond Scarab from the world of Scooby-Doo. The Diamond Scarab on its own at first seems to grant a mummy powers like summoning creatures, though in reality, the "mummy" was actually Lord Vortech who uses his own powers as a part of a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax. | |

The superhero Blue Beetle takes his name from a scarab amulet that Adventurer Archaeologist Dan Garrett, the first Blue Beetle, found in a pyramid and which gave him magical superpowers. His successor, Ted Kord, could never get the amulet to work, so became a Gadgeteer Genius instead. The amulet subsequently passed into the hands of Jaime Reyes, who discovered its full potential, leading to the revelation that the source of its power is not magic but advanced alien technology. | |

Warcraft and World of Warcraft: Spiderlords, and their undead counterparts, Crypt Lords are heavily based on scarabs in Egyptian mythology, being mummified and reanimated beetle-mantis-spider mashups. Their names are all vaguely related to Egyptian mythology (Anub'arak, Thebis-Ra, Pharoh-moth...), one of their abilities generates a huge beetle from a corpse, and their faces have a spike invoking the false beards on royal funerary masks. | |

In Pathfinder, the Scarab Sages are an Ancient Tradition of Egyptian-inspired priests and wizards who seek the ancient secrets to create a better future. They picked the scarab as their symbol to invoke wisdom and ancient power. Unsurprisingly, when the actual deities of Egypt, er, sorry, Osirion appear, they also wear and decorate with scarab motifs. |

In Dungeons & Dragons many artifacts, creatures or magic involve or are named after Scarabs. A few examples are the Scarab of Protection (a medallion that absorbs energy-draining attacks), the Golembane Scarab (a pin that allows the detection of Golems, and ignoring of their damage resistance) and the Scarab of Death (a cursed pin that will kill anyone holding it for more than one round). Particularly notorious are the Hoard Scarabs. A hoard scarab is an eyeless, beetlelike creature that hides in piles of treasure. Thanks to its size and its silver or golden shell, it looks much like a coin when dormant (though close observation reveals its nature). A swarm resembles a pile of gold and silver pieces. If approached, the scarab or swarm will attack, attempting to burrow into the hapless victim's skin and eat them alive from the inside. |

In Pyramids, the Djelibeybians, being a pastiche of Ancient Egypt, believe that the sun is pushed along the sky by a giant dung beetle god called Scrab. The Lemony Narrator notes that at no point does the sun get buried in the sand and have eggs laid in it. Of course, later in the book Scrab turns out to exist, along with all the other Djelibeybian solar deities, who start fighting over it. | |

In the Magic: The Gathering setting Amonkhet, based around the ancient Nile civilization in real life, there were originally two cards that featured scarabs, but only as simple scavenging insects. They can either come to your side as you take chunks off of creatures or devour the dead to prevent players from reusing them. This changed in the second set of cards that takes place in that setting, Hour of Devastation. The scheme of Nicol Bolas involved unleashing a forgotten god whom he had corrupted - The Scarab God, who could turn the dead into the dragon's army of Eternals, undead plated in a mystic blue mineral called lazotep that allows them to be transported between planes as if the zombies beneath were inorganic material. You can also sic scarabs on your opponent, harming them each turn unless the scarabs are appeased. | |

In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, the symbol of the ancient Great House Dagoth, of whom Big Bad Dagoth Ur was the leader, is a scarab beetle. For his (presumed) traitorous actions during the Battle of Red Mountain, he was believed to have been killed and House Dagoth was forcibly dissolved. However, Dagoth Ur had already tapped into the power of the Heart of Lorkhan, becoming a Physical God. While his physical body was destroyed at the time, he coalesced to become a villainous King in the Mountain, waiting to strike during the events of the game. | |

Aladdin has the Golden Scarab Beetle locating the Cave of Wonders. Although it looks like a hand-sized robot, its two main components (which must be put together to work in the first place) form the tiger head-shaped guardian's eyes. They reappear whenever the Cave deems their summoners unworthy of getting the magical lamp. It's worth noting many box arts have this artifact located at their very center, hinting its key importance to the plot. Inverted in the spin-off TV series. Mechanicles has invented a robot scarab merely because he needs a mode of transportation and happens to like the tidiness and industry of the animals. In other words, a hater of magic uses a symbol of magic in a roundabout way. |

Three of the four beetle-themed Mavericks in the Mega Man X series - Boomer Kuwanger (stag beetle), Gravity Beetle (rhinoceros beetle) and Ground Scaravich (dung beetle) - are in fact all based on scarabs. This leaves only Izzy Glow (firefly) as the only non-scarab beetle, and is the only instance where so many of a certain Maverick theme (beetles, fish, cats, etc.) have all been of such a specific grouping. | |

In Project Superpowers, the Golden Age hero the Scarab got his powers from a scarab-shaped ring. On the other hand, when Amon Khadul found the ring in modern times, he received no powers from it and thus sold it, but made a fortune on the sale, which he used to buy his way into the The Supremacy, the shadowy group which secretly controls the world. After realizing how evil they were, he then created a superhero identity for himself - the Scarab. | |

In Bayonetta 2, Secret Character Rosa, Bayonetta's mother has a contract with a powerful demoness named Madama Khepri, an enormous scarab woman. She also fits this trope to the letter, being associated with magic by binding herself to an Umbra Witch, divinity by being described as a Goddess of Inferno, and power by way of having dominion over time and the sun. | |

In Kingdom of Loathing's "Actually Ed the Undying" challenge path, one of the skills Ed can learn is "Storm of the Scarab", which deals damage in all elements simultaneously. He can also buy Healing Scarabs, which restore his HP, and if you bought the Bottle of Lovebug Pheromones, he can summon a Love Scarab to stun the enemy and steal MP. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! The game features an Insect Monster card called the "Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab". At base its incredibly weak (a three star monster with only 500 attack and defense points), but its special ability grants it an additional 400 attack points for every magic or trap card your opponent controls. This means (including the possibility of a Field Magic Card) Flare Scarab can gain up to 2400 additional attack points, giving it a total possible attack stat of 2900! There is also a card called "Swarm of Scarabs", again very weak at base (three stars with only 500/1000 for its stats) but has a special ability that when it is Flip Summoned it does a One-Hit Kill on any one of your opponent's monsters. To top it off, "Swarm of Scarabs" has a second special ability that allows it to be turned back face-down once per turn, meaning that as long as it isn't destroyed it can keep killing an opponent's monster once per turn. Scarab Power: Contrary to what many players believe, the "Bee" on "Beetrooper" refers to beetles, not bees. Adding to this, their boss monsters are all massive beetle mounts with high ATK. |
