Iridescent Flint Beetle: Difference between revisions

The '''Iridescent Flint Beetle''' is an enemy in the Pikmin games. Attack one by throwing a Pikmin on or near it, at which it glows red while overturning and drops a useful object. Different descriptions are provided for this creature.

In Pikmin 1, these bugs look rather larger than in [[Pikmin 2|the second game]]. They are more common, but not very helpful. Pikmin will automatically attack this beetle when it comes near them, but it does no damage. They are mostly found in foliage or in corners. When hit, they first drop a 1 [[Pellet|pellet]] then, when hit again, they drop two doses of [[nectar]]. Upon the next direct hit more doses of nectar are released, and then a 5 pellet. This cycle repeats once more, and then stops after the second 5 pellet. This is, however, hard to achieve, making them infamous compared to the new ones.
