The '''Iridescent Glint Beetle''' ({{j|オオガネモチ|Oogane Mochi|Large Riches Holder}}) is an | The '''Iridescent Glint Beetle''' ({{j|オオガネモチ|Oogane Mochi|Large Riches Holder}}) is an enemy in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. Iridescent Glint Beetles 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 when first hit with a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], and then two doses of [[ultra-spicy spray]] on the second hit. 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 except any potential treasure. 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. In ''Pikmin 4'', however, it is a much more jittery creature, running away almost constantly. | |||

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. | 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.
