The Doodlebug (オナラシ?, lit.: "Fart Death or Fart Emitter") is an enemy in Pikmin 2. It has the same morphology of the Iridescent Flint Beetle, except it is coated with dirt and has small flies hovering around it, giving it a more repugnant appearance. However, it is actually in the Flint Bug family, not the Flint Beetle family. They, like Iridescent Glint Beetles, drop spray – ultra-bitter spray; in Challenge Mode, they sometimes drop treasure. They are only found inside caves. When Doodlebugs move, they release flatulence and leave noxious clouds of poisonous gas wherever they were, thus subjecting nearby Pikmin to choking. Therefore, White Pikmin are ideal for killing these creatures. If they are killed while petrified, they do not release any nectar or sprays, but do drop any treasures they were holding.
Sublevel 1 of the Frontier Cavern holds the largest number of Doodlebugs together: three. The Doodlebug at the Cryptic Cavern will just respawn elsewhere if it burrows before its Key is removed.

Behavior
Behaviorally, Doodlebugs are very similar to Iridescent Flint Beetles. Like the Flint Beetles, the Doodlebug cannot normally be harmed by leaders. However, it is different from the others in that it remains above ground for a much longer period of time. Once activated, the Doodlebug springs out from the ground, immediately releasing poisonous gas as it does so. Like all other poison in the game, this gas will kill all non-White Pikmin if they are exposed to it and are not whistled back to a leader. Once active, Doodlebugs move quickly and release more gas at regular intervals. If a Pikmin is landed directly onto one's back, it will flip over briefly and drop nectar or a drop of spray. Once a Doodlebug has been flipped over a few times, it will quickly retreat underground. The same thing will happen if the bug is simply left undisturbed above ground for too long.
Strategy
The following article or section contains guides. |
After being prompted into surfacing, a Doodlebug is capable of killing your Pikmin if you are careless. It is advisable to bring either a large group of White Pikmin or a small group of Purple Pikmin, as the Doodlebug will disappear after getting flipped. Be cautious when fighting it within close proximity of other enemies, as its scuttling may awaken them. To defeat the creature normally, just throw Pikmin at its backside.
Alternatively, you could use an ultra-bitter spray on it and either swarm it with your Pikmin or punch it. Note that though this method is usually safer, it also gives you less reward, as the ultra-bitter drops that the Doodlebug drops when flipped are quite useful against future enemies.

Naming
- See more: Iridescent Flint Beetle#Naming.
- Common name: Doodlebug. The word "doodle" means "to draw aimlessly". Its name could refer to the real life insect called the doodlebug, which is the larval stage of the antlion. This doodlebug gets its name by the erratic patterns it runs in when looking for a place to burrow, drawing "doodles" on the sand as it goes; the Pikmin creature likewise runs in erratic patterns until it finally burrows. In a similar vein to its Japanese common name, "Doodlebug" may be seen as a corruption of "Doo-doo-bug", a euphemism for feces.
- Japanese nickname: オナラシ?. It may be a combination of おなら?, lit.: "fart" and either する?, lit.: "do", means "emit" here, or 死?, lit.: "death".
- Japanese name: ミドリヒメオナラシ?, lit.: "Green Lesser Fart Death".
- Scientific name: Pilli flatularum. Flatularum comes from the Latin flatus and is related to the English "flatulence".
- Internal names: Its internal name is simply
fart
. - Prerelease: In the GameCube Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc Version 18, this enemy's family is not shown, and its genus name is Scarabeidae as opposed to Pilli.[1] Scarabeidae is similar to the real world scarabaeidae family, where scarab beetles are from, and alludes to the Anode Beetle's scientific name.

Trivia
- In the Japanese version of Pikmin 2, the Iridescent Flint Beetle and the Doodlebug share the same family. However, in the English version, they differ between "Flint beetle" and "Flint bug" respectively. They strangely have different genuses, and so does the Iridescent Glint Beetle even though they're all claimed to be in the same family. This is likely a mistake.
