The '''Doodlebug''' is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is the same in general appearance to the [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]], except it is coated with dirt and has small flies hovering around it, giving it a more repugnant look. However, it is actually in the Flint ''Bug'' family, not the Flint Beetle family. They, like [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]]s, drop [[spray]] - [[Ultra-bitter Spray]]; in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], they sometimes drop [[Treasure Hoard|treasure]]. Doodlebugs [[HP Regeneration|regenerate]] when damaged. When Doodlebugs move, they strangely excrete noxious clouds of poisonous gas wherever they were, thus subjecting nearby Pikmin to [[hazard]]ous poison. Therefore, [[White Pikmin]] are best for killing these creatures.

The Doodlebug is an enemy in Pikmin 2. It is the same in general appearance to the Iridescent Flint Beetle, except it is coated with dirt and has small flies hovering around it, giving it a more repugnant look. However, it is actually in the Flint Bug family, not the Flint Beetle family. They, like Iridescent Glint Beetles, drop spray - ultra-bitter spray; in Challenge Mode, they sometimes drop treasure. They are never seen above ground, and regenerate when damaged. When Doodlebugs move, they release flatulence and leave noxious clouds of poisonous gas wherever they were, thus subjecting nearby Pikmin to hazardous poison. Therefore, White Pikmin are ideal for killing these creatures.

Three of these can be found on Sublevel 1 of the Frontier Cavern.

Notes

Olimar's notes

While life-forms that excrete foul musks to warn of danger are not rare, the doodlebug is the only species known to release flatulence when active above ground. Interestingly enough, since it is merely releasing the gas created by decay of the contents of the creature's intestines, it does not have a special musk-producing organ. This means the creature is in fact merely flatulating. Spectral analysis of the rank gas indicates it contains not only methane, but hydrogen sulfide as well, making the flatulence a Grade XIII biohazard.
