The '''Muckerskate''' ({{j|ドロンボウ|Doron Bou|Muddy Pond Skater}}) is an enemy in {{p4}}. It appears and behaves similarly to the [[Skeeterskate]], but rather than shooting [[water]], it shoots [[mud]] at pikmin. However, it is still very fragile and can be defeated in only a single hit, though doing so is dangerous when on top of unfrozen mud.

== Behavior ==
Muckerskates are seen swimming on the tops of mud puddles in The Primordial Thicket and The Mud Pit, waiting for the Pikmin and the Captains to walk past them. If spotted, the Muckerskate will shoot mud at what it spots up to 3 times before having to recharge. This mud deals damage and can bury any Pikmin on the ground. The Muckerskate usually swims away after shooting as to not get hit by any pikmin.
