Widemouthed Anode Beetle

Enemy Bio
In appearance, the Widemouthed Anode Beetle is visually similar to the Anode Beetle, except larger, with a more visible mouth. The Widemouthed Anode Beetle will patrol a small area and will attack any Pikmin that enter its field of light by blasting an area around its body with electricity and then eating any pikmin who are stunned or close enough to be eaten. Like its small counterpart, the Widemouthed Anode Beetle must be flipped over to be damaged, however, it can only be flipped over with a Purple Pikmin landing directly on its back.

Olimar's Notes
This solitary member of the Scarab Beetle family has poor eyesight, and therefore acts aggressively at any perceived threats that come close to it.

Louie's Notes
Inedible, ingestion may lead to irritability, violent spasms, mood swings, and numbness of the face.

Battle Strategy
Bait it into doing its electrical attack, and then come in with a good sized group of Purple Pikmin. Throw one of the Purple Pikmin at its back and then swarm it with the rest of the group.
