What does the Brilliant Beetle mount do in Minecraft Legends?

The Brilliant Beetle mount has the most maneuverability in Minecraft Legends as not only can it glide through the air, but it also scales walls, allowing you to access hard-to-reach heights. This makes it our personal pick for the best mount in the game.

Its wall-climbing ability means you can get the jump on Piglin bases by surprising them stealthily. Pair that with its glide, and you'll be able to ambush Minecraft Legends mobs before they know what's hit them.
