Comentário
A golden species of the beetle family, the Pilli auricus are a rare sight on PNF-404. They bear a close resemblance to the Iridescent Flint Beetle, but with a carapace of pure gold. The hard to catch creatures can carry pellets, spray, nectar, or even treasure, making defeating them a priority for any Pikmin leader who may encounter them.
