The King Beeb (キングザコワラジ?, lit.: "King Small Fry Woodlouse"; known as the Queen Baub in the European version of Pikmin Adventure) is the second miniboss encountered in Pikmin Adventure, first seen in both enemy and miniboss form in Boss of the Beebs. It is a large Creepy Beeb that has yellow feet, blue flexible legs, and a blue and yellow antenna resembling the large Creepy Beeb. The primary differences between the King Beeb and the Creepy Beeb is that the Creepy Beeb has flatter, almost googly eyes while the King Beeb has far more spherical eyes like the Bladed Beeb.
Behavior
Upon noticing the player, the King Beeb will slowly wander towards them before flashing yellow and curl up into a ball. It will proceed to roll around the area for an extended amount of time, trying to crush the Mii Olimar and Pikmin players. After rolling around, the King Beeb can either stop rolling by landing on its feet, allowing it to move about, or end up on its back, unable to move for a bit.
Strategy
The King Beeb rolls around faster and longer than the Creepy Beeb, so it is advised that players take advantage of their ability to jump by flicking the GamePad's screen or press 
on their Wiimote in order to avoid being crushed. Some arenas are shaped like an octogon, so running from corner-to-corner while it is rolling around is the best solution to avoid being crushed.
Sometimes, there will be bombs and rocks that can be grabbed. These are good to use against the King Beeb during its rolling attack. While it is possible to stun the King Beeb with a rock throw, there is also a chance that a successful rock throw will not stun it. After rolling the King Beeb will end up laying on its back trying to regain its composure, allowing for the Mii Olimar and Pikmin players to deal tons of damage without much risk of getting hurt themselves.
Monita's notes
US version: “This royal Beeb of all Beebs curls into a ball and rolls around. You'd think its eyes would get in the way when it rolls, but no, it just pulls them in.”
European version: “This big, bad Baub blasts light, curls into a ball and rolls around. ◆ You'd think its eyes would get in the way when it rolls, but no, it just pulls them in.”
