The Lockjaw Glint Beetle is a flint beetle appearing in Pikmin: Spark as a relative of the Iridescent Glint Beetle. It is noted for having a longer body than the Iridescent Glint Beetle while also having a pair of pincer-like jaws. It dwells within dens and can come out of bomb rock mounds in place of the items usually inside. They can also randomly burrow out of cave walls. They are carnivorous, and hostile to Pikmin and smaller enemies alike, as they will eat anything smaller than a dwarf bulborb. After the glint beetle consumes a Pikmin or enemy, a gland in its body processes it into a yellow or red Sparklium seed, which is then pushed from the creature's rear. Lockjaw Glint Beetles can not be defeated, only attacked or avoided until it retreats into the ground.
Notes
Abel's medical journal
- “Its stomach converts organic matter into Sparklium. However, a dead specimen can't perform that process. Combine that with their hostile attitude and they are only a novelty.”
Lyn's sale review
- “Jaws end in a point and would be a good sharpener. Shell also has small amounts of gold inside, which wouldn't be enough to be valuable but enough to create high-end microchips.”
PIX's creature scan
- “Extremely hostile relative of a docile species. Can convert organic matter into Sparklium. Behavior makes them unreliable to use as Sparklium farms.
- Habitat: caves and dark areas
