Dung Beetle

Dung Beetle is an enemy that appears in Wii U version of Sonic Lost World. It is a brand of beetle-based Badniks created by Dr. Eggman.

Appearance
Based on Beetle insects, Dung Beetle has a dark blue armor with four red and grey-colored feet. The Badnik pushes objects forward by using its back feet, as their feet contain suction caps. The Badnik has cyan colored eyes, pair of fangs on its mounth and thick, red antennae on its head.

Overview
Exclusively featured in Wii U version of Sonic Lost World, Dung Beetles are only found in Frozen Factory Zone 4. In the 2.5D section, they are seen pushing different sizes of ice blocks to either left or right direction. Many ice blocks they are caring, have frozen Super Rings or 1-Ups in them. If the player breaks ice block towers down or crosses them by using a Wall Climb, while landing behind the Badnik, Dung Beetle tries to charge towards Sonic.

The player can easily defeat Dung Beetle by using a Focused Homing Attack. However, the player can also use Spin Dash to blast through ice blocks and defeat the Badnik afterwards.
