Real-world information
The dynastid beetle is a subspecies of the Japanese rhinoceros beetle, and is part of the scarab family. Its larvae are very large, around 5 cm long. Horn-like structures are present in both sexes during the pupal stage, though only adult males will have horns. Dynastid beetles, along with other rhinoceros beetles, are popular as pets in Asia, and in some places are considered a delicacy, especially fried. Dynastid beetles don't mind being handled, and fly slowly and quietly. Rhinoceros beetles have their place in Japanese popular culture, making appearances in anime, tokusatsu, advertisements, and even films. The dynastid beetles featured in Animal Crossing are in their adult stage.
