In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', this creature's appearance is greatly altered. | In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', this creature's appearance is greatly altered. It's eyes are still on stalks, but it sports two horizontally-facing antennae that look almost like a mustache, its shiny exoskeleton seems to have layers and appears less vibrant, and its underside appears to have four glowing, blue spots. The only way to harm one of these creatures, as with previous games, is by throwing Pikmin on its back, upon which it drops nectar or pellets. | ||

The Flint Beetle is harmless and will remain underground until a [[Captain]] or Pikmin approaches its resting spot. Once active, the Flint Beetle will scurry about in no particular direction; only away from the player after being hit. It moves quickly and can be difficult to hit at times, but repeatedly flipping it over for up to three times will provide increasingly valuable rewards. After being hit three times, or being active for a certain amount of time, the creature will scurry back underground. Though it does not die, it will not return for the rest of the day/challenge. | The Flint Beetle is harmless and will remain underground until a [[Captain]] or Pikmin approaches its resting spot.
