Poisonous Beetle

The Poisonous Beetle is a scarab beetle appearing in Pikmin: The After Years. Unlike Anode Beetles, they have purple spots and emit a line of poison from their rear ends when two of them meet. This attack will poison all but White Pikmin. Throwing a Pikmin on top of them will flip them over. Thrown Purple Pikmin may flip multiple of these beasts using to the shockwaves they create upon landing.
