Bugman enemy line

The Mean Bugman, Bulky Bugman, and Titan Bugman are enemies randomly battled in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. These monsters, resembling bipedal Hercules beetles, are palette swaps of each other that have differing levels of power and defense and are fought in different locations in the game.

In Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

Mean Bugman

A Mean Bugman (マイティビートル Mighty Beetle) is a orange level 25 variant. It is randomly fought in Kolima Forest.

Among the monsters fought in Kolima Forest, the Mean Bugman has the highest defense and attack ratings (sharing the latter with the Mad Plant), although this is counterbalanced by having the second lowest HP and agility.

A Mean Bugman is especially likely to be affected by Stun- and Sleep-inducing effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Name	HP	PP	Attack	Defense	Agility	Luck
Mean Bugman	145	0	228	105	100	6
Elemental Resistances and Levels			Exp	Coins	Item Dropped	Drop Rate
100 (Lv 0)   72 (Lv 1)   72 (Lv 0)   48 (Lv 0)			319	107	Bramble Seed	1/16

A Mean Bugman uses these battle commands with low intelligence:

Command	Chance to use	Elem. Stats used with *	Description
Attack	6/8 (75%)	--	Standard physical attack.
Call Ally	2/8 (25%)	--	Enemy ability where the battle text read "Mean Bugman looks for allies!". If successful, a new Mean Bugman will join the battle on the enemy's side; a maximum of three Mean Bugmen can be present at any given time.

Bulky Bugman

A Bulky Bugman (バスティビートル Basti Beetle) is a purple level 31 variant. It is randomly fought in Warrior's Hill and on Nihan island.

In Warrior's Hill, each of the Bulky Bugman's statistics are outperformed by at least one of the other monsters there, even its defense (surpassed by the Earth Lizard). It does have the highest defense rating on Nihan island, but the rest of its statistics are surpassed by the Vile Dirge.

A Bulky Bugman is especially likely to be affected by Stun- and Sleep-inducing effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Name	HP	PP	Attack	Defense	Agility	Luck
Bulky Bugman	180	0	285	153	128	6
Elemental Resistances and Levels			Exp	Coins	Item Dropped	Drop Rate
100 (Lv 0)   72 (Lv 1)   72 (Lv 0)   48 (Lv 0)			641	122	Bramble Seed	1/16

A Bulky Bugman uses these battle commands with low intelligence:

Command	Chance to use	Elem. Stats used with *	Description
Attack	6/8 (75%)	--	Standard physical attack.
Call Ally	2/8 (25%)	--	Enemy ability where the battle text read "Bulky Bugman looks for allies!". If successful, a new Bulky Bugman will join the battle on the enemy's side; a maximum of three Bulky Bugmen can be present at any given time.

Titan Bugman

A Titan Bugman (ヒュージビートル Huge Beetle) is a cyan and dark purple level 41 variant. It is randomly fought in Yamata Ruins.

Statistically, the Titan Bugman is outperformed in every category by the Wise Gryphon except in defense (though not by much). Compared to the other monsters fought in Yamata Ruins, the Titan Bugman has the highest attack and defense ratings, but the lowest agility and second lowest HP.

A Titan Bugman is especially likely to be affected by Stun- and Sleep-inducing effects. Its statistics are as follows:
