A '''Trapeetle''' is a spherical beetle enemy, with two large hands, swirly purple eyes and a spike on top. They appear exclusively in the [[Lost Kingdom]] of ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of "trap" and "beetle". Upon the first time [[Mario]] tries to throw [[Cappy]] at the enemy, the Trapeetle will catch him in his hands to Cappy's surprise. After glowing red and charging up, the Trapeetle will shoot forward quickly at wherever Mario is, which can cause damage if not avoided. Mario and Cappy can use this to their advantage, by luring the Trapeetle into throwing Cappy into destructible rocks, which can clear the paths or reveal hidden items inside.

'''Trapeetles''' are spherical beetle enemies with two large hands, purple chameleon-like eyes and a spike on top. They appear exclusively in the [[Lost Kingdom]] of ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of "trap" and "beetle". Upon the first time [[Mario]] tries to throw [[Cappy]] at the enemy, the Trapeetle will catch him in its hands to Cappy's surprise. After glowing red and charging up, the Trapeetle will shoot forward quickly at wherever Mario is and explode on impact. While flying, Trapeetles are not affected by gravity - if they shoot over a ledge, they continue moving forward without falling, similar to [[Bullet Bill]]s. Mario and Cappy can use a Trapeetle's attack to their advantage by luring it into tackling destructible rocks, which can clear the paths or reveal hidden items inside.


The brochure for the kingdom warns heavily against them, referring to their explosive behavior as "a tragic display seen absolutely nowhere else in nature."<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/kWVFLbT.jpg Kingdom Brochures]</ref>

'''Trivia'''
A concept design for the Trapeetles depicted them as [[Bob-omb]] variants with suction cups for feet.<ref>[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]], page 166</ref>
*When shooting forward at Mario, [[Trapeetle]]s are not affected by gravity! If they shoot over a ledge, they continue moving forward without falling.
