Iridescent Flint Beetle[]
The Iridescent Flint Beetle is a harmless enemy that appears in all the mainline games. It spawns once the player passes its spawn point, after that it would run around and then return back into the ground. Once a Pikmin gets thrown on its back it would release Pellets or Nectar. In Pikmin it has a green and blue shell and two yellow antennas. In Pikmin 2, the design is similar to the one in Pikmin but the shell is dark green. In Pikmin 3 the design was fully changed with its four legs being taller, having eyes, a mouth and a moustache above it. In Pikmin 4 the design is like a fusion between Pikmin 2's and 3's having a mouth and eyes, but has a light-green shell and stubby legs.
Doodlebug[]
The Doodlebug is an enemy that appears in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4. It is similar to the Iridescent Flint Beetle, but has a brown shell and greener body parts. In both games, the Doodlebug will excrete a poisonous gas that only White Pikmin can withstand. Once hit, it will drop Ultra-Bitter Spray in Pikmin 2 and Bomb Rocks in Pikmin 4.
