Any ideas what this bug is please that I found crawling across my kitchen floor like it owns the place?

It was about 5cm long and very hard to kill so I thought it might be some sort of cockroach but I thought they were a different shape.

Also is it likely to have friends hanging out somewhere in the house too? Envy

Beetle. It's a lone warrior so don't worry about his palls. He has probably eaten them all, plus all the spiders. Whatever you do, don't kill him....

Why on earth would you kill it OP?

Thank you. He sounds like a beetle I would not want to piss off. There are still plenty of spiders in my house though so I guess that means he’s not been here long.

I have an irrational fear of crawly things even when I know what they are, and I was worried this one was poisonous or sting-y.
