"This article is about the Akatento enemy. For it's blue variant, see Aotento. For it's yellow variant, see Kitento. For the black EX variant, see Kurotento."Akatento (あかてんと) is an Insect-type badnik that appears in Sonic Universe as a recurring enemy. It's a mass produced badnik and part of the Tento family of badnik.

Overview
Akatento are ladybug based badniks who appear mostly in stages that are nature based, with grass and/or flowers. It's seen as the "main" badnik of the Tento family.

It's pattern is similar to the Motobug family Badniks, in that it only moves forwards. Unlike the Motobug, it won't turn around if it goes off of a ledge, instead moving right off of it. Due to this, they can be dangerous if the player is below the ledge they drop off of, but they can easily fall off of into a pit. Any attack will dispose of this enemy.

They give the player 100 points when destroyed.

Strategy
Akatento are arguably the most simple badnik. They can be simply dispatched with any attack. They can be annoyances when they drop off of ledges, or there's multiple along with their Aotento and Kitento variations, but it should be fine to dispose of them.
