The '''Doodlebug''' ({{j|オナラシ|Onara Shi|Farter}}) is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. | The '''Doodlebug''' ({{j|オナラシ|Onara Shi|Farter}}) is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. Doodlebugs have the same morphology of [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]s, except they are coated with dirt and have small flies hovering around them, giving them a more repugnant appearance. When Doodlebugs move, they release flatulence and leave noxious clouds of [[Poison|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 [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], they do not release any [[nectar]] or [[spray]]s, 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 [[The Key|Key]] is removed. | Sublevel 1 of the [[Frontier Cavern]] holds the largest number of Doodlebugs together: three.

{{Transcript|Whoa, that REEKS! It reeks SO BAD! These uncouth little stinkers are always passing gas whenever and wherever, but that also means they're easy to track down. Of course, nobody can stand to get close if they find one. It's a brilliant defense mechanism!}} | |||

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.

Like all other poison | 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, 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 something (depending on which game). 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. | ||
===Pikmin 2=== | |||
In {{p2}}, Doodlebugs appear only in caves. If [[ultra-bitter spray]] has been discovered, they will exclusively drop additional doses. Otherwise, they will only drop nectar. Pikmin will attempt to chase the Doodlebug, creating the risk of them being poisoned if they are not immune. | |||
===Pikmin 4=== | |||
In {{p4}}, Doodlebugs are much rarer overall than they were in ''Pikmin 2''. Unlike the prior game, a single Doodlebug appears above ground in [[Primordial Thicket]]. They usually spawn near or under [[sticky mold]], and instead of sprays, they drop [[Bomb rock]]s and [[Ice Blast]]s. While they no longer have the first burst of poison, the clouds they release on future movements are much larger than before. | |||
