In Pikmin 2... Again?
Static Beetle is a kettlebug in Pikmin 2... Again?. It is similar to the Antenna Beetle, but gray and with larger antennae. It typically ignores Pikmin, but will target leaders. While near a live Static Beetle, the player can not switch between control of leaders. But also, if Pikmin are carrying something, it'll go to them, making them to get confused not knowing where to go anymore, or to go through a longer path instead.
