Scarab Beetle Family

The Scarab Beetle Family is a family in the Pikmin series that appears in Pikmin 2 and Hey! Pikmin. The family is known for its electric members.

Anode Beetle/Scarabum electrodea
The Anode Beetle is a member of the Scarab Beetle Family that stores electricity in its body. By itself, the Anode Beetle is harmless but they have the habit to share their electricity with other Anode Beetle which create an electric barrier able to kill most Pikmin. They cannot be killed unless one of the captains throw a Pikmin on its back which expose its weak point.

Electripede/Kampia fulgurtainia
The Electripede is a long member of the Scarab Beetle Family that use electricity as a mean to protect itself. The Electripede is usually living in dark caves and use his electricity to generate light around it. Like any other electric hazards, launching any Pikmin that aren't Yellow Pikmin will result in the Pikmin's death.

Widemouthed Anode Beetle/Scarabum electrodea grandiostium
Unlike the regular Anode Beetle, the Widemouthed Anode Beetle is agressive and will patrol in an area until it found Captain Olimar or his Pikmin, it will then run into them while being charged with electricity which can result in many Pikmin death. The Widemouthed Anode Beetle's electricity also generate light like the Electripede.
