All creatures within a 5-foot radius sphere centered on the beetle bomb must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes damage equal to the remaining hit points of the beetle bomb. The fire spreads around corners. It ignites flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.
