| | The '''King of Bugs''' is actually just [[Captain Louie]]. Olimar saved him after the [[Titan Dweevil]] (fourteenth sublevel of the [[Dream Den]]) was defeated, and apparently, it was advisable to put him in the Ship's Pod because there are only two seats in the Ship. Louie now insists that everyone address him by his "proper title", the King of Bugs. It could be believed that Louie was actually controlling the Titan Dweevil; he was not even harmed when he was captured and saved. Some theories to why he would attack Olimar and the President include that he wanted revenge against the President for poor employee treatment, or that he was originally controlling the Titan Dweevil, but lost control when Olimar attacked. |

| The '''King of Bugs''' ({{j|虫の王|Mushi no Ou|King of Bugs}}) is a [[treasure]] in {{p2}}, and is the final one listed in the [[Treasure Hoard]]. The treasure is actually [[Louie]], rescued from the [[Titan Dweevil]] in sublevel 14 of the [[Dream Den]]. Even after he is brought back, the player continues to control [[the President]] as the secondary leader from there on. The reason given by the crew to store him with the pile of treasure is because there is no room for him in the cockpit.{{cite quote|Louie? ... ... ... Are your life functions fading? ... No! He appears only to have fainted! He is always running into trouble... Instruct the Pikmin to carry him. There is not enough room for him in the cockpit anymore. We will have to keep him in the cargo hold with the treasure hoard.|the [[Hocotate ship]]|a [[Ship's dialogs|dialog]] after the Titan Dweevil is defeated}} He is tied with some other treasures for the least valuable treasure in the game.

| {{Transcript|Louie is back! Somehow, he survived a horrific ordeal with a freakishly large, weapon-wielding titan dweevil! I entered a hole with an army of ferocious Pikmin, grimly determined to save Louie from the titan dweevil, but it seems that he was perfectly fine all along. I can't understand how he managed to avoid being eaten. Hmmm... He's always had an unusually close connection with insects, and I know he loves to cook them! Maybe he wasn't kidnapped after all. Could he have been controlling that beast all along?! No, that's craziness! Although...he does insist now that we address him by his "proper title," the King of Bugs.|block=y}}

| ==Trivia==
| |
| [[File:Spacesuits light difference Louie King of Bugs.png|thumb|A screenshot comparing the spacesuits of Louie (left) and the King of Bugs (right).]]
| |
| * Louie's and the King of Bugs' models are slightly different. Most notably is that King of Bugs' antenna's light is less saturated.
| |
| * This treasure and the [[Temporal Mechanism]] are the only two treasures that animate when not being carried – Louie's head bobs up and down when idling.
| |
| *In the Japanese version and in an early version of the English translation, Olimar's notes on the King of Bugs are very different, mostly focusing on the Titan Dweevil and Pikmin, rather than suggesting that Louie could be controlling the creature.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Proto:Pikmin_2/Treasure_Hoard_Entries#201_-_King_of_Bugs|Proto:Pikmin 2/Treasure_Hoard_Entries|The Cutting Room Floor}}
