The Motor Beetle is a species of kettlebug appearing in Pikmin: Spark. They have a red carapace, black underbelly, and purple eyes. Dwelling deep within dens, they release a strange signal that can be identified by the faint beeping sound it produces. While the signal affects neither captains nor Pikmin, enemies in its range are forced to remain awake, if they sleep, and become faster and more hostile. This, in turn, makes the Motor Beetle extremely dangerous, as it has the capabilities to inflict much damage to a Pikmin army, albeit indirectly. Luckily, defeating one will stun every enemy in its radius, making them somewhat helpful.
