While beetle battling itself is made interesting by the animations present on screen, I'd like to suggest either a rehaul or another type of beetle battling. I want to suggest having a similar system to the March Event battle arenas; we already have invisible beetle stat tiers but nothing around the same hype as the battle arena styles. In the battle arena, eight lions are pitted against each other in a tournament fashion, where the final champion can earn more rewards, but why not beetle-ify the concept?

These tournaments would have the opportunity to occur similarly to the March event championships, with 15 minutes to gather results / find opponents. However, I would not be opposed to needing more time or cooldowns during or between battles.

As for the tier system, it would need to be adjusted according to beetle stats AND have a different name system to those that occur during the march event

Perhaps while the results are being generated, players could have the opportunity to bet on beetles within tournaments happening in the "highest tier", generating a bit more hype on the battle beetle champions of Lioden. I also think that since Lioden has some forms of gambling (e.g., the slot machine and raffles), there should be no real issue with implementing a betting system aside from the coding itself.

Something purely cosmetic that could add a bit of personalization to a battle beetle's profile, allowing people to display their beetle for more bragging rights (or comically shaming the beetles with a title earned by having a higher loss-to-win rate)

Similar to having a featured lion in a cave, I think we should also be allowed to feature our favorite beetles in our mounds; even if the beetles aren't as cosmetically varied as our lions, some people tend to get very attached to their beetles and/or would like to show off the rarest beetle in their possession instead of having to resort to HTML (as some people don't know how to use this!)

Please vote on their respective forums if you are keen to support the points I have mentioned in this post <3

As Kry [G1 1.3k Hexedi RLC]#287823 pointed out, having a large amount of beetles to battle one by one can be a little tedious, much like feeding and playing with all of your lions! Their suggestion was to combat this with a BEETLE MASS-BATTLE mechanic much like the lion equivalent of "FEED ALL PLAY ALL" this feature will be a paid mechanic that just makes battling a little easier.

This has actually been suggested by many players in many different posts, some of which have ended up locked due to the amounts of reposts that occurred. The idea behind this is to simply be able to freeze a beetle like you could freeze a lion. As till#146959 suggested in their Primordial Nectar (beetle freezing item) thread, allowing beetles to outlive their 30 day lifespan could allow for more incentive to utilize the beetle skin creator!

As Spirit#234210 suggested in their thread, bringing some more interaction value between your lions and beetles could make it more fun to keep them! Similar to the flavor text one might receive when clicking on a lion page or having a grandpaw in your den - except for your little beetle buds. It adds a bit more personality to beetles, even if they don't strictly have a personality assigned like lions.

A small addition to beetle battling! As oliver! [G2 🥧]#163090 pointed out, if we have stats and an EXP system that rewards us with a stat boost, why can't it also track how many times we have 'leveled up their stats' similar to lions? A 30 day lifespan isn't long, but the bragging rights about levelling a beetle to level 30 in those 30 days sure could be!

Another very popular topic that has been posted about (but most other's are locked due to Coleoptera#122306 having suggested it first) and another mechanic that mirror's those of lions and lionesses within lioden. In their Beetle Studding thread, they pointed out that sometimes it can be difficult to find a good beetle to breed your beetle with (especially if they are rarer species, and even more difficult if they are a rare species with rare coloration) so having this mechanic would make life a little easier and beetles a little more profitable!

This was another topic that has been posted and mentioned by many different people with the idea behind it being that it could encourage people to battle their beetles as JuicedBrain | Toxic
Thing 1 #64411 suggested in their "Most Victorious Beetles" Leaderboard but also functionally being a beetle counterpart to the lion leaderboards as oliver! [G2 🥧]#163090 suggested in their More Beetle Stuff! thread.
