The '''Iridescent Glint Beetle''' ({{j|オオガネモチ| | The '''Iridescent Glint Beetle''' ({{j|オオガネモチ|Ooganemochi|Millionaire}}) is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They resemble golden, sparkling [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]s, but are much rarer. The majority of these creatures are found underground, with only two appearances above ground, both in the [[Awakening Wood]]. One is inside the pot to the right of the [[Figwort]]s near the end of the constructable [[bridge]], and the other is on the raised area near the entrance to [[Snagret Hole]], to the left of the [[cave]] in a corner just before the ledge. | ||
This bug, when on land, drops three [[Randomness|random]]-colored 5-[[pellet]]s, and then two doses of [[ultra-spicy spray]] when hit with a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Underground, the pellets are swapped for three doses of [[nectar]]. If the ultra-spicy spray has not been unlocked yet, it just drops more nectar (three doses) in place of the sprays. Some of the Glint Beetles that are underground drop treasure instead, and the Beetles in Challenge Mode always drop a [[Lustrous Element]]. Just like the Iridescent Flint Beetle, if it's killed whilst petrified, it will shatter instantly, leaving nothing behind. It can also be chased off cliffs in some caves. | |||
In comparison to the Flint Beetle, it stays above ground for less time, but, on average, stands still for slightly longer every time it stops moving. | |||

Glint Beetles move fast, making them difficult targets to pin, but at the same time, they have no offensive attributes, so an encounter with one can only end up as a chase.

Much like the Iridescent Flint Beetle and the | Glint Beetles move fast, making them difficult targets to pin, but at the same time, they have no offensive attributes, so an encounter with one can only end up as a chase. They hide underground, emerging only when approached. Much like the Iridescent Flint Beetle and the Doodlebug, the Glint Beetle can only be damaged by a direct throw to its back, which will cause it to flip over and drop nectar, or in some cases, a treasure. Purple Pikmin can hit the creature with much more ease, as the shock wave caused by the impact of one is enough to flip a Beetle over. Once a Glint Beetle has dropped all it was carrying, it will quickly scurry back underground. It will do the same thing if left undisturbed for too long. | ||

The creature's name is a pun on the [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]'s name. A glint is a shimmer of light, found on very shiny things. This creature's Japanese name, {{j|オオガネモチ|Ooganemochi}} means "millionaire", referring to how gold is often associated with richness, but is also a pun on the Flint Beetle's name, given that the two share the {{j|ガネモチ|ganemochi}} part. | |||
The creature's scientific name is ''Pilli auricus''. The word ''Pilli'' means the same as in the Iridescent Flint Beetle's name, while ''auricus'' is related to ''aurum'', the Latin word for gold. Internally, its name is <code>wealthy</code>, which is a translation of its Japanese name. | |||
In an earlier version of the game's script, inside an [[Unused content in Pikmin 2|unused file]], it is revealed that the enemy used to be called "Giant Flint Beetle".{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Pikmin_2/Early_English_Script#Names|Pikmin 2/Early English Script|The Cutting Room Floor}} The reason for this is not known. | |||
