Motor Beetle

The Motor Beetle is a species of Kettlebug appearing in Pikmin: Spark. They have red carapaces with black underbellies and purple eyes. Dwelling deep inside dens they release a strange signal that can be identified by the faint beeping sound it produces. While it neither affects captains nor Pikmin they do affect the enemies they face as not only do the signals these beetles produce to wake up sleeping enemies but it also causes all enemies in its vicinity to become faster and more aggressive making them more dangerous. This in turn makes the Motor Beetle dangerous as it has the capabilities to produce big damage to your team, albeit indirectly. Luckily if you manage to defeat one you can temporarily stun any nearby enemy making them somewhat helpful.
