[[Jigsaw Colosseum]]}}The '''Bearded Amprat''' is a rodent-like creature in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It resembles a small white guinea pig with large brown spots on its face and back. Their head is rounded with small eyes in the front and no apparent ears. As their name implies, their faces are draped in large amounts of long, straight hair which gives their face a slight resemblance to a skull. It has four, small, mouse-like feet which it uses to move around and to grab prey.  Unlike the rest of its body, the feet are green with brown tips on the toes, which lack claws. Its body ends in a few small brown spots and a skinny, mouse-like tail.

Normally, the creature passively walks around its territory. When [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or a [[Leader|Captain]] come close, however, it will begin to rapidly rub its beard, generating electricity, which causes its hair to flare up and reveal its true face as it charges to try and grab Pikmin and eat them. This hair spikes up when they are attacked and electricity will begin to pulse through their entire body to harm all non-[[Yellow Pikmin]], so Yellows are best used to fight it.

Due to their electricity, in any case, the Bearded Amprat is best fought with Yellow Pikmin. Whether electricity is flowing through one's body or not, Yellows can be thrown onto the body to deal safe damage. However, the creature, when flared up, can still shake the Pikmin off and eat a few at a time, so the player must stay alert and whistle them back before this happens. The captains should keep a good distance from the Amprat while fighting because if a captain is struck, they will be forced back and immobilized briefly. This leaves the Pikmin vulnerable to any enemies in the area.
 
[[Red Pikmin]] and [[Rock Pikmin]] may also be used to defeat the Amprat efficiently, but with a greater risk. While the creature is roaming about, the player can swarm it with at least 12 Red and Rock Pikmin to defeat it before it can react. If the creature does manage to charge up its electrical attack, then the player should immediately call back all Pikmin, and move a considerable distance from it, or use nearby [[clover|plants]] to hide in. The Amprat should calm down quickly, providing a second chance to attack and defeat it.

''"A fearsome creature capable of sending out electric shocks to fend off any Pikmin brave enough to come into contact with it."''
===''Pikmin 3 Prima Guide''===
''"When a Bearded Amprat feels threatened, it rubs its face to build up a static charge. When the Bearded Amprat releases the charge, its whiskers lift up, exposing its sharp teeth. While its teeth are exposed, this enemy uses its front paws to feed nearby Pikmin into its mouth.''


''When you attack a Bearded Amprat, use Yellow Pikmin to overcome the electrical charge. If you're not able to defeat the creature before it releases the charge, call your Pikmin away before they're eaten.  Whenever possible, flank the creature to attack from the rear."''
The '''Bearded Amprat''' is a species found only in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is based on a rat, or a guinea pig. When Pikmin approach, the Amprat will rub the fur on its face to generate electricity, charging after Pikmin and eating them. They can be found in the [[Distant Tundra]], [[Twilight River]], and [[Formidable Oak]].


==Trivia==
==Strategy==
* "Amprat" is a portmanteau of "Amp," a measurement unit of electricity, and "Rat," a type of real-life rodent which it resembles.
Any color of Pikmin works against this enemy, but [[Yellow Pikmin]] are recommended, as it has an electric defense. Make sure you use a lot, because it grabs Pikmin off of it and proceeds to eat them. This can be very annoying and hard to avoid, so you can either call them to you quickly, or use several Pikmin. Another strategy is to use the charge attack as an opening to send all your yellow Pikmin to the enemy's back so it cannot eat them. However, the Amprat can send the Pikmin to its front side or simply turn around, so leaving Pikmin alone to fight the enemy is a good way to lose extra Pikmin. A good strategy is to just bombard its head with Rock Pikmin, similar to Pikmin 2's strategy with [[Purple Pikmin|Purples]].
* The Bearded Amprat is one of the few creatures in the Pikmin universe that seems to retain some traits from modern-day mammals.

This page is part of the merge with Pikmin Wiki, and needs resolving. Please bear with us as we do so.

Before the import, this subject had a page both on Pikipedia and Pikmin Wiki. You are currently reading the Pikipedia version, and the Pikmin Wiki version can be found here. Both versions need to be manually merged together and placed on the current page.

The Bearded Amprat is a species found only in Pikmin 3. It is based on a rat, or a guinea pig. When Pikmin approach, the Amprat will rub the fur on its face to generate electricity, charging after Pikmin and eating them. They can be found in the Distant Tundra, Twilight River, and Formidable Oak.

Strategy

Any color of Pikmin works against this enemy, but Yellow Pikmin are recommended, as it has an electric defense. Make sure you use a lot, because it grabs Pikmin off of it and proceeds to eat them. This can be very annoying and hard to avoid, so you can either call them to you quickly, or use several Pikmin. Another strategy is to use the charge attack as an opening to send all your yellow Pikmin to the enemy's back so it cannot eat them. However, the Amprat can send the Pikmin to its front side or simply turn around, so leaving Pikmin alone to fight the enemy is a good way to lose extra Pikmin. A good strategy is to just bombard its head with Rock Pikmin, similar to Pikmin 2's strategy with Purples.
