Behavior

The Widemouthed Anode Beetle patrols a set path in dimly-lit areas, where it casts a field of light. If Pikmin or Olimar walk into this light, it will show its fangs before charging and attempting to attack. It's light can also be used to light up certain flowers that require electrical current to be opened that Olimar and the Pikmin can then used to get past an area. Similarly to the Crested Mockiwi, it is capable of eating Pikmin thrown too close to its mouth.

Strategy

Widemouthed Anode Beetles can be defeated by continually throwing Pikmin at them until they flip over, which leaves them completely vulnerable to attack, much like the standard Anode Beetle. Once again, do not throw too close to its mouth or it will instantly consume a Pikmin!

Notes

Hey! Pikmin logs

“This pesky creature loves to generate its own electricity. It prefers solitude, and becomes aggressive if provoked. It really couldn't be more different from me, could it? Part of me wishes I could assert myself as strongly as this terrifying monster does.”

Naming

• Common name: Widemouthed Anode Beetle. The name is the same as an Anode Beetle's, but starting with "widemouthed", referring to its large mouth.
• Japanese nickname: オオグチエレキムシ^?, lit.: "Big Mouthed Electric Bug".
• Japanese name: キモンオオグチエレキムシ^?, lit.: "Yellow Pattern Big Mouthed Electric Bug".
• Scientific name: Scarabum electrodea grandiostium. Scarabum electrodea is the Anode Beetle's scientific name. Grandiostium comes from grandis and ostium, Latin for "large" and "mouth", respectively.
• Internal names: Its internal name is ereki, a part of its Japanese nickname. Its generator name is enemy_spark_macky. While the first part is likely because the enemy uses electricity, "macky" is the Japanese name for the Mockiwi, and also used in some "common" enemies' internal names.
