The '''Doodlebug''' ({{j|オナラシ|Onara Shi|Farter}}) is an [[Enemy|enemy]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. Doodlebugs have the same morphology of [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]s, except they are coated with dirt and have small flies hovering around them, giving them a more repugnant appearance. When Doodlebugs move, they release flatulence and leave noxious clouds of [[Poison|poisonous gas]] wherever they were, thus subjecting nearby Pikmin to choking. Therefore, [[White Pikmin]] are ideal for killing these creatures. If they are killed while [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], they do not release any [[nectar]] or [[spray]]s, but do drop any treasures they were holding.

Sublevel 1 of the [[Frontier Cavern]] holds the largest number of Doodlebugs together: three. The Doodlebug at the [[Cryptic Cavern]] will just respawn elsewhere if it burrows before its [[The Key|Key]] is removed.

=== Dalmo's Notes ===
{{Transcript|Whoa, that REEKS! It reeks SO BAD! These uncouth little stinkers are always passing gas whenever and wherever, but that also means they're easy to track down. Of course, nobody can stand to get close if they do find one. It's a brilliant defense mechanism!|block=y}}

=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{Transcript|While life-forms that excrete foul musks to warn of danger are not rare, the Doodlebug is the only species known to release flatulence when active aboveground.

Interestingly enough, since it is merely releasing the gas created by the decay of the contents of the creature's intestines, it does not have a special musk-producing organ.

This means the creature is in fact merely flatulating. Spectral analysis of the rank gas indicates it contains not only methane but hydrogen sulfide as well, making the flatulence a Grade XIII biohazard.|block=y}}

=== Louie's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{Transcript|Looking for a flavor that will surprise and delight your guests? This beast's aroma may surprise your guests, but it won't be delightful!|block=y}}

===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|They look as harmless as Female Sheargrubs, but Doodlebugs can cause a lot of trouble by emitting poisonous gas. If you manage to hit one of the scurrying critters with a Pikmin lob, it'll flip over and leave a pool of nectar. You can capsize a Doodlebug three times before it disappears.|block=y}}

==Behavior==
Behaviorally, Doodlebugs are very similar to Iridescent Flint Beetles. Like the Flint Beetles, the Doodlebug cannot normally be harmed by leaders. However, it is different from the others in that it remains above ground for a much longer period of time. Once activated, the Doodlebug springs out from the ground, immediately releasing poisonous gas as it does so. Like all other poison, this gas will kill all non-White Pikmin if they are exposed to it and are not whistled back to a leader. Once active, Doodlebugs move quickly and release more gas at regular intervals. If a Pikmin is landed directly onto one's back, it will flip over briefly and drop something (depending on which game). Once a Doodlebug has been flipped over a few times, it will quickly retreat underground. The same thing will happen if the bug is simply left undisturbed above ground for too long.

===Pikmin 2===
In {{p2}}, Doodlebugs appear only in caves. If [[ultra-bitter spray]] has been discovered, they will exclusively drop additional doses. Otherwise, they will only drop nectar. Pikmin will attempt to chase the Doodlebug, creating the risk of them being poisoned if they are not immune.

===Pikmin 4===
In {{p4}}, Doodlebugs are much rarer overall than they were in ''Pikmin 2''. Unlike the prior game, a single Doodlebug appears above ground in [[Primordial Thicket]]. They usually spawn near or under [[sticky mold]], and instead of sprays, they drop [[Bomb rock]]s and [[Ice Blast]]s. While they no longer have the first burst of poison, the clouds they release on future movements are much larger than before.

==Strategy==
{{guide}}
After being prompted into surfacing, a Doodlebug is capable of killing your Pikmin if you are careless. It is advisable to bring either a large group of White Pikmin or a small group of Purple Pikmin, as the Doodlebug will disappear after getting flipped. Be cautious when fighting it within close proximity of other enemies, as its scuttling may awaken them. To defeat the creature normally, just throw Pikmin at its backside.

Alternatively, you could use an ultra-bitter spray on it and either swarm it with your Pikmin or punch it. Note that though this method is usually safer, it also gives you less reward, as the ultra-bitter drops that the Doodlebug drops when flipped are quite useful against future enemies.

==Naming==
{{see more|Iridescent Flint Beetle#Naming}}
{{naming
|common    = Doodlebug. The word "doodle" means "to draw aimlessly". Its name could refer to the real life insect called the doodlebug, which is the larval stage of the {{w|antlion}}. This doodlebug gets its name by the erratic patterns it runs in when looking for a place to burrow, drawing "doodles" on the sand as it goes; the ''Pikmin'' creature likewise runs in erratic patterns until it finally burrows. In a similar vein to its Japanese common name, "Doodlebug" may be seen as a corruption of "Doo-doo-bug", "doo-doo" being an euphemism for feces.
|jpcommon   = {{j|オナラシ|Onara Shi}}. It may be a combination of {{j|おなら|onara|fart|f=tp}} and either {{j|死|shi|death|f=tp}}, or {{j|する|suru}}, which means "do".
|jpname     = {{j|ミドリヒメオナラシ|Midori Hime Onara Shi|Green Lesser Farter}}.
|scientific = ''Pilli flatularum''. ''Flatularum'' comes from the Latin ''flatus'' and is related to the English "flatulence".
|internal   = In Pikmin 2, its internal name is simply <code>fart</code>. In Pikmin 4, its internal name is <code>GASKOGANE</code>. <code>KOGANE</code> is the internal name of the Iridescent Flint Beetle.
|prerelease = In the GameCube Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc Version 18, this enemy's family is not shown, and its genus name is ''Scarabeidae'' as opposed to ''Pilli''.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Proto:Pikmin_2/Piklopedia_Entries#022_-_Doodlebug|Proto:Pikmin 2/Piklopedia Entries|The Cutting Room Floor}} ''Scarabeidae'' is similar to the real world {{w|scarabaeidae}} family, where scarab beetles are from, and alludes to the [[Anode Beetle]]'s scientific name.

==Trivia==
*Prior to the release of {{p2s}}, the Doodlebug was [[mistake]]nly referred to as belonging to the "Flint bug family" in the English version, even though they were claimed to share the same genus as the [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]. In the Japanese [[region|version]] of {{p2}}, the Iridescent Flint Beetle and the Doodlebug had always shared the same family.
