Firesnout Beetle

The Firesnout Beetle is an enemy in. It is a crimson beetle-like creature that breathes fire from the walls it sits in. It has tiny legs, red eyes, and black spots around its darker colored exoskeleton. It is slightly shorter than Captain Olimar, being the smallest member of the lithopod family. It appears in only one area, Sizzling Precipice.

Behavior
Firesnout Beetles live exclusively in walls, popping out on occasion to shoot a beam of fire. After a few seconds, they will retreat.

Locations

 * Sweltering Parchlands
 * Sizzling Precipice: They are in the walls of the many precipices that are found here. They act as a threat that the player and their Winged Pikmin have to avoid, by moving away from the fire the creatures shoot.

Strategy
These can only be defeated when sticking out of walls. However, when they are shooting fire they will burn any non-Red Pikmin.
