The Iridescent Glint Beetle is an enemy in Pikmin 2. They resemble golden, sparkling Iridescent Flint Beetles, but are much rarer; the majority of these creatures are found underground, with only two appearances above ground, both in the Awakening Wood. One is inside the pot to the right of the Figworts near the end of the constructable bridge, and the other is on the raised area near the entrance to Snagret Hole, to the left of the cave in a corner just before the ledge.
It drops three random-colored 5-pellets and then two doses of Ultra-spicy Spray when hit with a Pikmin. 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. Occasionally, depending on where it is located, this creature drops a treasure instead. Just like the Iridescent Flint Beetle, if this creature is attacked after being petrified, it will shatter. It can also be chased off cliffs in some caves. “{{notes:enemy/{{{2}}}|block=y}}”
