In Pikmin: Dual Worlds
The Festive Beeb is a somewhat uncommon member of the soplouse family that appears in Pikmin: Dual Worlds. It has a small, roughly teardrop-shaped, vibrantly colored piece of ice on its abdomen, which the Beeb can electrify in order to cause it to glow. When threatened, it can electrify this ice to the point of causing the inside to melt, soon after resulting in the ice shattering off into sharp little shards. This can be negated by simply removing the ice before it has the chance to use it. It may also rapidly flash to cause Pikmin to panic. If the ice is removed, whether by shattering or by attacks, the Festive Beeb can slowly regenerate it. The more time between removals, the more ice is regained, and therefore the more dangerous the attack. Notably, on difficulties at or above flower+, it can lure Pikmin and some enemies towards it, as well as use electricity to electrocute them.

Cheepy-Cheepy's version
The Festive Beeb is a small soplouse that typically appears in cold climates or in cozy home environments during the holiday season. They travel in packs of ten to eighteen individuals and are always positioned in a line or curve, no matter whether they are still or moving, although they tend to remain stationary. They shine brilliantly in a dazzling display of color, often distracting nearby Pikmin, leaders, and even most enemies. Festive Beebs are ignorant of anything around them but will try to avoid dangers, and tend to stay away from other groups.

Festive Beebs resemble ornamental Christmas lights, and their translucent, roughly oval-shaped bodies can abruptly change various colors including white, red, blue, green, and yellow, projecting light of matching color onto their surroundings. Their eyes are mounted on eyestalks near the top of their bodies, and their four wiry legs, each terminating in what appear to be winter boots, are positioned equidistantly from one another. A thin black cord visibly connects the base of one Festive Beeb to another in a line.

Although completely harmless, and even helpful in some scenarios due to being able to distract enemies, Festive Beebs can be irritating during time-sensitive tasks because they also affect Pikmin and leaders in the same way. The only Pikmin capable of destroying a Festive Beeb are Rock Pikmin, being able to shatter them in one hit, whereas all other Pikmin simply tackle them or hit them with their stem to no avail. Festive Beebs can also be destroyed by blunt force, explosions, and other, similar means, however. Ranging Bloysters are particularly entranced by Festive Beebs and will try to eat them, slurping up the cord like a noodle and biting down on each beeb, inadvertently hurting themselves in the process. Destroying one Festive Beeb will cause the deaths of all other Festive Beebs in its group no matter its position, and each one that dies in this way will remain intact.

In ultra-spicy difficulty, destroying a Festive Beeb causes it to deliver an electrical shock to its attacker, although the rest die normally and won't do the same when destroyed postmortem, and any Pikmin and enemies watching at them at the time will respectively panic and frenzy.
