Ironclad Clint Beetle

In Pikmin 5: Apex Predator
The Ironclad Clint Beetle is an enemy in Pikmin 5: Apex Predator. It is a giant black beetle with an impenetrable shell of iron. It paces around with the speed of an Iridescent Flint Beetle and consumes any Pikmin that get in its path. The only way to hurt the Ironclad Clint Beetle is to flip it over to expose the vulnerable belly, but this will prove difficult due to the fact it takes the weight of 30 Pikmin to flip it. Because of such high requirements, it is recommended to bring an army of Purples to fight it, as it will only take three of them to flip it over. What happens once the Ironclad Clint Beetle is flipped over depends on several factors. If the Ironclad Clint Beetle was standing still when it was flipped over, it will immediately get back up. If it was moving when flipped, it will start sliding straight down the path it was moving. If it doesn't hit anything in its path or hits a soft wall, it will get back up again. If it slides into a stone wall, it will hit its head and get dizzy. This is the only time the player can hurt the Ironclad Clint Beetle, so take advantage of this time. As the beast's health goes down, it will slide for less time before flipping itself back up, requiring the player to wait until the Ironclad Clint Beetle has only a short distance between it and the stone wall. Upon killing it, it will spit out any treasures it was carrying and stay belly up for good.
