Chiikabu (ちいかぶ), also known as Kabutomushi (カブトムシ), is a beetle-like creature from Chiikawa by Nagano. Soft, sweet-smelling, and seemingly affectionate, Chiikabu quickly befriends Chiikawa and wins the trust of those around it. It is later revealed to be a powerful mimic monster that uses its adorable appearance to deceive prey before transforming into its imposing, muscular true form.
