Giant cockroaches were giant insects found in the Underdark
Description[]
Giant cockroaches looked identical to their smaller cousins, just much larger. Their carapace was usually black, brown or grey in color and was covered in oily secretions.[1]
Behavior[]
Giant cockroaches were extremely combative and hostile.[1]
Abilities[]
Giant cockroaches were capable of detecting the presence of any creature in direct contact with the earth within 60 ft (18 m). They had a limited flight ability over a distance of up to 60 ft (18 m). The oily secretions that covered their carapace were so potent that any creature within 30 ft (9.1 m) was overcome with nausea. Giant cockroaches were immune to all mind-affecting effects and spells.[1]
Combat[]
Giant cockroaches attacked nearly any creature it encountered. [1]
Ecology[]
Habitats[]
Giant cockroaches lived and reproduced in warm areas near water, surrounded by rotting organic material.[1]
Beyond the Underdark, giant cockroaches could be found in the land of Zakhara.[2]
