In Pikmin: Spark
The Lockjaw Glint Beetle is a flint beetle appearing in Pikmin: Spark as a relative of the Iridescent Glint Beetle. It is noted for having a longer body than the Iridescent Glint Beetle while also having a pair of pincer-like jaws. It dwells within dens and can come out of bomb rock mounds in place of the items usually inside. They can also randomly burrow out of cave walls. They are carnivorous, and hostile to Pikmin and smaller enemies alike, as they will eat anything smaller than a dwarf bulborb. After the glint beetle consumes a Pikmin or enemy, a gland in its body processes it into a yellow or red Sparklium seed, which is then pushed from the creature's rear. Lockjaw Glint Beetles can not be defeated, only attacked or avoided until it retreats into the ground.
