The Doodlebug 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 never seen above ground, and regenerate when damaged. When Doodlebugs move, they release flatulence and leave noxious clouds of poisonous gas wherever they were, thus subjecting nearby Pikmin to hazardous poison. Therefore, White Pikmin are ideal for killing these creatures.
Three of these can be found on Sublevel 1 of the Frontier Cavern.
Notes
Olimar's notes
“While life-forms that excrete foul musks to warn of danger are not rare, the doodlebug is the only species known to release flatulence when active above ground. Interestingly enough, since it is merely releasing the gas created by decay of the contents of the creature's intestines, it does not have a special musk-producing organ. This means the creature is in fact merely flatulating. Spectral analysis of the rank gas indicates it contains not only methane, but hydrogen sulfide as well, making the flatulence a Grade XIII biohazard.”
Louie's notes
“Looking for a flavor that will surprise and delight your guests? This beast's aroma may surprise your guests, but it won't be delightful!”
