In Pikmin: The After Years
The Flaming Beetle is a scarab beetle appearing in Pikmin: The After Years. Unlike Anode Beetles, they have red spots and spew fire from their rear ends when two of them meet. This attack will burn all but Red Pikmin. Any Pikmin can be used to flip it over so long as it isn't producing jets of flame. Thrown Purple Pikmin will also flip multiple of these beasts over due to the shockwaves they create upon landing.
