In Pikmin: Global Breakdown
The Burrowing Chrysanthemum Beetle is an enemy that appears in Pikmin: Global Breakdown. The only time they are encountered is when they emerge from the ground after being summoned by a Seeding Chrysanthemum, with several appearing at a time. They are about the size of a dwarf bulborb and move relatively slowly, but can eat Pikmin at a rapid pace. They can not shake Pikmin off of themselves and are helpless when outnumbered. Upon defeat, the Burrowing Chrysanthemum Beetle shudders for a few seconds before exploding, which is useful for harming the Seeding Chrysanthemum that summoned it.
