'''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".  
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, 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.


When Trapeetles see Mario, they slowly walk toward Mario, but do not walk off ledges. Trapeetles stop if they hit, but resume afterward. If Mario gets too far away, a Trapeetle will stop its pursuit. Left alone long enough, a Trapeetle vanishes. Using the [[Cap Throw]] against a Trapbeetle causes it to catch [[Cappy]]. On the first instance, Cappy is surprised at being caught. In this state, the enemy glows red and charges up while continuing to face Mario. Once complete, the Trapeetle launches in Mario's direction to explode on impact or after flying too far. They only aim on the horizontal plane they are on. They move in a straight line, ignoring gravity. Their trajectory is locked upon launching, allowing Mario to dodge around them. Once they explode, Cappy is freed. After either vanishing or exploding, they burrow out of the ground at their spawn point. Mario and Cappy can use a Trapeetle's attack to their advantage by luring it into tackling destructible [[Block (Super Mario Odyssey)|Blocks]], which can clear paths or reveal hidden items.
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>
 
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> It does not say anything about Trapbeetles launching before exploding, which may mean the launching behavior is caused by Cappy's attempts to escape from Trapeetles rather than an inherent ability.


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>
