Ooze Beetle

Ooze Beetles are a species of Scarab Beetle appearing in Pikmin: Spark, there they are found exclusively in dens. They appear similarly to the Anode Beetle but instead of bright yellow spots, the Ooze Beetles have deep purple spots. Like other members of its species, they appear in large groups where they take advantage of strength in numbers. They attack by having two members spray a purple, sticky, silk-like substance between two members creating a poisonous web between both attacking members that both traps and poisons Pikmin. When they conclude their attack the web turns into a line of toxic sludge which slows down and poisons anyone who steps on it. Due to these factors White Pikmin are the ideal type to use as they are both immune to the toxic webs these beetles make and can destroy the sludge they leave behind.
