The flint beetle family コガネモチ科?, lit.: "Small riches holder family" is a recurring family of enemies in the Pikmin series. It includes 2 flint beetles that behave drastically different from each other. Note however that in the Japanese version of the games, the Doodlebug belongs in this family, making it a family of 3, with 2 members acting similarly. The Iridescent Flint Beetle, the Iridescent Glint Beetle and the Doodlebug also all belong to the genus Pilli.

Iridescent Flint Beetle

Main article: Iridescent Flint Beetle.

The Iridescent Flint Beetle is an enemy in Pikmin, Pikmin 2, and Pikmin 3. It is harmless and has a tough carapace to defend itself with, making it invulnerable to attacks. It dwells underground in fixed spots, but when approached, it emerges and scuttles around in a panic. Occasionally, it stops and provides an opportunity for the player to throw a Pikmin onto its back, making it flip and release a reward.
