Water Beetle

The Water Beetle is a scarab beetle appearing in Pikmin: The After Years. Unlike Anode Beetles, they have blue spots and spray water from their rear ends when two of them meet. This attack will drown all but Blue Pikmin. Any Pikmin can be thrown on top of it to flip it over and attack it, but Blue Pikmin are recommended because they cannot drown. Thrown Purple Pikmin will also flip multiple of these beasts over because of the shockwaves they create when landing.
