The '''Doodlebug''' ({{j|オナラシ|Onara Shi| | The '''Doodlebug''' ({{j|オナラシ|Onara Shi|Fart Death or Fart Emitter}}) is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It has the same morphology of the [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]], except it is coated with dirt and has small flies hovering around it, giving it a more repugnant appearance. However, it is actually in the Flint ''Bug'' family, not the Flint Beetle family. They, like [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]]s, drop [[spray]] – [[ultra-bitter spray]]; in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], they sometimes drop [[treasure]]. They are only found inside [[cave]]s. 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. | Sublevel 1 of the [[Frontier Cavern]] holds the largest number of Doodlebugs together: three.

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 | Behaviorally, Doodlebugs are very similar to Iridescent Flint Beetles.

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. | ||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | *In the Japanese [[region|version]] of {{p2}}, the [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]] and the Doodlebug share the same family. However, in the English version, they differ between "Flint beetle" and "Flint bug" respectively. They strangely have different genuses, and so does the [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] even though they're all claimed to be in the same family. This is likely a [[mistake]]. | ||
