Editing Scarab beetle family

{{game icons|p2=y|p4=y|hp=y}}
The '''scarab beetle family''' is a family of [[Enemy|enemies]] in {{p2}}, {{p4}}, and {{hp}}. The members of this family can all produce [[electricity]].

==Members==
===Anode Beetle===
[[File:Anode Beetle P4 icon.png|150px|left]]
{{main|Anode Beetle}}

The Anode Beetle is an enemy in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''. It walks around harmlessly, periodically stopping in place and charging up electricity. If another Anode Beetle is nearby, the two will create a current of [[electricity]] between them, which will instantly kill non-[[Yellow Pikmin]]. If a beetle is alone, it will cause no harm. Its carapace makes it invulnerable to attacks, so a Pikmin must be tossed directly from above in order to flip it around and make it expose its soft underbelly &ndash; its only weak point.

===Widemouthed Anode Beetle===

{{main|Widemouthed Anode Beetle}}

The Widemouthed Anode Beetle is a subspecies of Anode Beetle found in ''Hey! Pikmin''. It bears a strong resemblance to a standard Anode Beetle, but its head is larger and more clearly separated from its body. It is also considerably larger than the Anode Beetle. Unlike Anode Beetles, Widemouthed Anode Beetles are actively hostile and will devour any Pikmin they come across. They emit a constant stream of electricity, and will electrocute any Pikmin that aren't [[Yellow Pikmin]]. Once again, their shell protects them from damage, so several Pikmin must be tossed onto its back in order to flip it over and make it vulnerable.

===Electripede===

{{main|Electripede}}

The Electripede is a cave-dwelling, centipede-like Scarab Beetle introduced in ''Hey! Pikmin'' . It looks unlike any other member of it's family, with a segmented body, bright yellow and orange stripes and two pairs of small legs. Under normal circumstance they are harmless, but when hit they will stop in place and emit electricity that will shock anything nearby.

==Naming==
This family's name is based on the real-life {{w|scarabaeidae}} family. This is also alluded to in the Anode Beetle's genus name, ''Scarabum''.
