{{Plural|LANS|Spiked Beetle}} in {{LA}} inhabit {{Plural|LANS|Dungeon|link}}; they are found in {{Term|LANS|Tail Cave|link}}, {{Term|LANS|Bottle Grotto|link}}, and {{Term|LANS|Angler's Tunnel|link}}. They slowly crawl about the room, immediately dashing towards {{Term|LANS|Link|link}} in a straight line to attack when they spot him. When they are upright, they are completely invulnerable to all attacks. Only by blocking their attack with the {{Term|LANS|Shield|link}} can they be flipped over, exposing their weak underbellies. If left alone, they will eventually flip back onto their feet.

==={{FS|-}}===
{{Plural|FS|Spiked Beetle}} in {{FS}} behave similarly to their previous incarnations, though they withdraw into their shells and spin at the {{Plural|FS|Link|link}} while homing in on them rather than charging in straight lines. The {{Term|FS|Shield|link}} remains the only item that can flip them over, and is typically provided near areas where {{Plural|FS|Spiked Beetle}} can be found. They appear slightly more reminiscent of Spinies from the ''Mario'' series, being shelled reptilian creatures. They are found in the {{Term|FS|Chambers of Insight|link}}, the {{Term|FS|Sea of Trees|link}}, {{Term|FS|Death Mountain (Four Swords)|link}}, and {{Term|FS|Vaati's Palace|link}}, as well as the {{Term|FS|Realm of Memories|link}} and the {{Term|FS|Hero's Trial|link}}.

{{Plural|TMC|Spiked Beetle}} in {{TMC}} appear identically to their appearance in {{FS}}. They will withdraw into their shells and hurl themselves at {{Term|TMC|Link|link}} in a spinning attack. While the {{Term|TMC|Shield|link}} can still be used to block and flip them over, the {{Term|TMC|Cane of Pacci|link}} can also be used to turn them onto their backs. The explosions of well-placed {{Plural|TMC|Bomb|link}} can be used to flip them over, as well. They appear in the {{Term|TMC|Cave of Flames|link}} and the {{Term|TMC|Palace of Winds|link}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*{{Plural|Series|Beetle (Enemy)|link}} and {{Plural|Series|Spiny Beetle|link}} were confused with {{Plural|Series|Spiked Beetle}} in the enemy roster of the Nintendo Player's Guide for {{LA|-}}, both being given the same method of defeat (by flipping them over) despite not having any relation to this enemy.

==Nomenclature==
==Nomenclature==
The name {{Term|Series|Spiked Beetle}} refers to the enemy's spiny shell. The name may be derived from {{Smw|Buzzy Beetle}}s, another turtle-like enemy in the ''Mario'' series that are similar to Spinies, but without spiked shells. Their Japanese name, "Togezō", comes from the word {{Exp|棘|toge}}, meaning thorn.
