Notes

Alph

Structural flaw: weak hide
Weight: 6

The first one of these I came across had Rock Pikmin trapped inside it, and I've seen them engulfing small fruits, but it doesn't seem to be eating them. There's no digestion going on, at least. Is it just trying to make friends?

Brittany

The polka dot motif on top of the translucent membrane is a striking look, especially with the puffball on its head accenting the whole ensemble. I could see a dress patterned after this creature being a big hit on Koppai. Not that I'd be caught dead in one.

Charlie

This cowardly blob holds Pikmin hostage within its own body. Its fatal mistake is not sucking up every last one of my li'l troops. The last survivors are that much thirstier for revenge!

Louie

Makes for a tangy and fresh sorbet! Place in the freezer for two hours or until firm. Garnish with a slice of candied lemon before serving.

Most of its body is translucent and gelatinous. It drifts on the wind using the puffstalk on its head and captures passersby below with its adhesive manubrium. The purpose of this behavior is unknown, as examining its catches reveals no trace of saliva or gastric fluid on them. Unlike most aquatic jellyfish, it has no tentacles or nematocysts, making it safe to handle. It may even be safe to ride in, opening up exciting new transportation possibilities.

The Medusal Slurker is a low-flying enemy that uses a sticky appendage to absorb any Pikmin that wander below it. When you encounter a Medusal Slurker, throw your Pikmin at the creature's soft outer shell. Rock Pikmin are particularly effective, but all Pikmin types can be used to deal with this enemy. When you defeat a Medusal Slurker, any Pikmin it managed to absorb are set free.
