The Rocket Beetle is a member of the scarab beetle family appearing, along with the Anode Beetle, in Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator. As the name would suggest, the Rocket Beetle is a less peaceful creature compared to the Anode Beetle, which communicates to other members of its species merely by exchanging electrical charges. The Rocket Beetle doesn't communicate at all, and has orange markings, rather than yellow ones, on its black wing casings. It wanders around much like Anode Beetles do until they spot targets, such as leaders or Pikmin nearby. At that point, the Rocket Beetle will open its carapace and quickly beat its wings, its exposed backside lighting up with the power of a rocket turbine. This causes it to quickly accelerate straight toward its target, attempting to destroy them in the explosion it will create. As one would guess, there are no remnants of the beetle whatsoever after it explodes. The safest way to clear out Rocket Beetles is to have a leader run by them without any Pikmin and outmaneuver them.
