Carabid Beetle (ゴミムシ, Gomimushi) is a Chimera Ant and former Captain of Leol's Squad who carries the genes of the bombardier beetle and a dung beetle. He ambushes Killua along with other Ants under Flutter's command.[1]

Appearance[]

He is a beetle-like Chimera Ant with a rather anthropomorphic look. He is bald, with two antlers on his head and two much longer ones protruding from his scapulae. His body is a light shade of beige in color, except for his head and fingers, which are white. He also has a black shell on each shoulder. He wears maroon pants with a belt.[1]

Plot[]

Chimera Ant arc[]

Carabid Beetle tries to roll a giant dung-ball at Killua, but realizes that the boy is far too powerful for him to face and tries to flee. Killua pursues him, only for the Ant to use its special ability on him.[1]

Abilities & Powers[]

As a Chimera Ant, he is stronger than normal humans. He can also stand and run atop a huge ball of dung which, due to its weight and speed, has enough kinetic energy to bring down trees standing in its path.[1]

Enhanced Durability: His body is considerably durable, since a punch from a Nen-using Rammot[2] did not leave him with any permanent or visible injury.

Special Natural Abilities
Bombardier Beetle Explosion*
Bombardier Beetle Chimera Ant Ability
Having the genes of a bombardier beetle, he can release a toxic gas that is made of a combination of hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide. The two chemicals are then sent into a reaction chamber within the Chimera Ant's body which secretes catalysts and peroxide, causing a reaction that releases oxygen making generating enough heat to a boiling point. The heat then vaporizes a fifth chemical and is finally released, causing a great explosion, incinerating its surroundings in a 100-degree Celsius temperature. He did it on a much larger scale, incinerating a large number of trees.[1]

Nen[]

After being violently "initiated",[2] Carabid Beetle learned Nen,[3] and he likely enhanced his explosions to deal more damage to the enemy.

Trivia[]

  • The character's true name was never given in the manga and the 2011 anime adaptation just names him in the credits.
    • He is referred to as ゴミムシ[4] (Gomimushi, literally "Garbage Insect"; a diminutive for ミイデラゴミムシ, Mīderagomimushi, translated as "Pheropsophus jessoensis"—colloquially known as the "Asian bombardier beetle").
      • In the credits for the English dub: "Carabid Beetle";[4] referring to the family of insects also known as Carabidae or Ground beetles—a large group that includes the bombardier beetles.

Miscellaneous[]

  • The image illustrating the explanation of a bombardier beetle's defense mechanism in Chapter 236 is based on a photo taken by Satoshi Kuribayashi, a Japanese photographer.
