The Widemouthed Anode Beetle is a ferocious, territorial scarab beetle that patrols its territory in dimly-lit areas, casting a field of light with the electricity surging through its body. If Pikmin or leaders walk into its light, it will charge them and attempt to eat them. Continually throwing Pikmin at them until they flip over leaves them completely helpless to attack.

The Widemouthed Anode Beetle appears in Pikmin: Infinite Exploration. It is visually similar to the Anode Beetle, except larger and with a more visible mouth. The Widemouthed Anode Beetle patrols a small area and will attack any Pikmin that enter its field of light by blasting an area around its body with electricity and then eating any Pikmin who are stunned or close enough to be eaten. Like its lesser counterpart, the Widemouthed Anode Beetle must be flipped over to be damaged, however, it can only be flipped over with a Purple Pikmin landing directly on its back. To effectively defeat it, coax it into performing its electrical attack, and then throw one of the Purple Pikmin at its back before ultimately swarming it with the rest of the group until it dies.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “This solitary member of the scarab beetle family has poor eyesight, and therefore acts aggressively at any perceived threats that come close to it.”
Louie's notes
- “Inedible. Ingestion may lead to irritability, violent spasms, mood swings, and numbness of the face.”
