In Pikmin: New World
The Krystal Kettlebug appears in Pikmin: New World as a close relative of the Antenna Beetle that lives deep underground, rarely appearing on the surface, and has a slightly rock-like appearance. It has large crystals of pure amethyst growing out of its body, and its orange compound eyes are large and pupilless. Between its eyes is a large triangular noselike shape. It appears to lack a mouth and has a teardrop-shaped body made of rock.

It appears by falling down from above and then quickly hopping away, out of view, making it very hard to catch. As soon as it lands, toss Pikmin at it to quickly weigh it down. It will attempt to jump away but will land on the ground with a thud, at which point it should be petrified by ultra-bitter spray to stun it and then swarmed by Pikmin under the effects of ultra-spicy spray to attack it quickly. Another strategy is to use ultra-fishy spray to make it jump up and fall on its side and then use ultra-bitter spray to paralyze it. Attacking it without using any sprays can be risky, as any Pikmin still on top of it when it jumps off of the screen will be killed. It is also possible to paralyze it with ultra-bitter spray and then use the captains to attack it, though this wastes time and could allow it to escape before it is killed.

If attempting to kill it with the captains it should definitely be attacked with the ultra-tangy spray in effect, making this beast go down very quickly. If it is killed, the creature's particularly large amethyst crystal will pop out of its head to be carried and the creature will crumble apart into two sprays, either ultra-spicy and bitter sprays or ultra-tangy and fishy sprays. While this creature does not use a whistle to attract Pikmin, it does interfere with the nonetheless when the captains get close to it, indicating that it is nearby and allowing for preparation against it.
