The Common Cutterbug is a warsect appearing in Pikmin 4: The World to Free. They are small brown beetles that are protected by a layer of thick armor that covers the tops of their bodies. On front end of their armor is a blade that is used not only to deflower Pikmin but to kill them too. Pink Pikmin are able to remove their armor, rendering the bugs harmless and defenseless against any Pikmin. Common Cutterbugs weigh six grams and are twenty millimeters long.

Notes

Tike's notes

“These are quite the fighting machines. I laughed at how slow they were, but I regretted it after seeing it cut open a Pikmin. Until I have some way to remove their thick shells, battles with them will be tough. The skin of a common cutterbug is very prickly and could be harder than its own shell, but is still weaker with how thin it is.”

Alice's notes

“Yuck! These creatures could really afford a makeover. Despite their ugliness, they are actually quite friendly unless they are angered or provoked. I always try to tell Tike about this, but he won't listen... I wonder why?”

Captain Pikmin's notes

“Pink Pikmin are the best against them because, with enough power, they can yank that shell right off to reveal that weak point. Without them, bomb rocks shall do the trick.”
