The '''Iridescent Glint Beetle''' ({{j|オオガネモチ|Oogane Mochi|Large Riches Holder}}) is an enemy in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. | 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. 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. | ||

{{transcript|This variety of Beetle consumes subterranean minerals. Due to the fact that it rarely emerges above ground, sightings of this particular species are extremely rare. | |||
While minerals are this beast's primary source of food, the Beetle itself does not have the ability to digest these minerals. Instead, metabacteria living inside the Beetle's stomach chemically break down the minerals. | |||
The resulting purified metal is discharged, but rare metals such as gold and platinum crystallize onto the Iridescent Glint Beetle's shell, resulting in the beautiful laminated shimmer.|block=y}} | |||

==Behavior== | ==Behavior== | ||
Glint | The Iridescent Glint Beetle will move slightly more erratically than its relatives, but not too much so. Once activated, it springs out from the ground, and will move quickly, usually away from the captain. If a Pikmin is landed directly onto one's back, it will flip over briefly and drop something (depending on which game). Once a Glint Beetle has been flipped over three times, it will quickly retreat underground. The same thing will happen if the bug is simply left undisturbed above ground for too long. | ||
=== Pikmin 2 === | |||
When spawned above ground, the Glint Beetle drops three [[Randomness|random]]-colored 5-[[pellet]]s when first hit, and then a dose of [[ultra-spicy spray]] on the second and third hits. 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]]. A Glint Beetle that drops a treasure will disappear after being hit the first time, dropping no nectar or sprays. If a Glint Beetle that would drop treasure is allowed to disappear before dropping its treasure, it will reappear elsewhere in the sublevel. Just like the Iridescent Flint Beetle, if it's killed whilst petrified, it will shatter instantly, leaving nothing behind except any potential treasure. | |||
=== Pikmin 4 === | |||
Glint Beetles will never drop Pellets above ground in this game. By default, they will drop six doses of [[Ultra-spicy spray]]- one dose on the first hit, two on the second, and three on the third. However, the Glint Beetle found in [[Giant's Hearth]] will drop a [[Disk of Amusing Wisdom]] instead on the third hit, replacing the triple dose of spray. The Glint Beetle in [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]]'s third story Dig Deep will drop a [[Difficult-Choice Totem]], [[Chance Totem]], and [[Go-with-the-Flow Totem]] when hit three times, dropping no sprays. If a Glint Beetle with a treasure manages to disappear, it will reappear in a different location. | |||

*Though they bury underground after a while, this does not happen in the Piklopedia; this is the same with the Iridescent Flint Beetle and the Doodlebug. | *Though they bury underground after a while, this does not happen in the Piklopedia; this is the same with the Iridescent Flint Beetle and the Doodlebug. | ||
*An [https://tcrf.net/Pikmin_2/Early_English_Script#Names early script] for Pikmin 2 names the Iridescent Glint Beetle as the "Giant Flint Beetle", suggesting that earlier in development, the Iridescent Glint Beetle was meant to just be a larger variant of the Iridescent Flint Beetle. Internally, all enemies in Pikmin 2 are programmed to function even when resized to abnormal sizes, but only the Iridescent Flint Beetle and the Emperor Bulblax have editable scale [[Pikmin_2_enemy_properties|parameters]]. | |||
*The Iridescent Glint Beetle is the only enemy in the {{ps}} that doesn't appear in {{p3}} but appears as a trophy in {{ssb4}}. | *The Iridescent Glint Beetle is the only enemy in the {{ps}} that doesn't appear in {{p3}} but appears as a trophy in {{ssb4}}. | ||
*As of ''Pikmin 4'', the Iridescent Glint Beetle is said to be a "variety of Beetle", with the word "Beetle" being strangely capitalized. In the Japanese version, it is stated to be a type of {{j|鋼虫|Kōchū|Steel Bug|f=tp}}. | |||
