Iridescent Glint Beetle
Pilli auricus
The Iridescent Glint Beetle is an enemy in the Pikmin 2 game. They resemble golden, sparkling Iridescent Flint Beetles. These are Glint Beetles and are much rarer than the Flint Beetles and are found above ground in only two places, both in the Awakening Wood; to the right of the Figworts near the end of the constructable bridge, and the other one found on the raised area where the Snagret Hole is, it should be to the left of the hole, and is in a corner before you run off the ledge. This paricular Flint Beetle, when on land, drops 3 random colored 5 pellets and then 2 doses of ultra-spicy spray. Underground, the pellets are swapped for 3 doses of nectar. The majority of these rare creatures are seen only uderground, but still very rarely seen. If you do not have the ultra-spicy spray unlocked yet, it just drops more nectar (3 doses) instead in place of those sprays. Occasionally, depending on where it is located, this creature drops treasures.
Olimar's Notes
The variety of beetle consumes subterranean minerals. Due to the fact that it rarely emerges above ground, sighting of this particular species are extremely rare. While minerals are this beetle'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.
Louie's Notes
This precious treat is exceptionally rare. I could sell it back home for a fortune! Then, I could use the cash to upgrade my kitchen, buy galactic-class ingredients, and even star in my own cooking show... the insect gourmet!
