The '''Quaggled Mireclops''' ({{j|ヌマアラシ|Numa Arashi|Swamp Griefer}}) is a [[boss]] in {{p3}}, and is the fifth major boss encountered in [[Story Mode]], at the [[Garden of Hope]]. It is first seen by [[Louie]], who tries to escape the Koppaites after they capture him. He is then swallowed by the Mireclops along with the [[Wayward Moon|piece of fruit]] he found and both get spit out when the explorers defeat it. | The '''Quaggled Mireclops''' ({{j|ヌマアラシ|Numa Arashi|Swamp Griefer}}) is a [[boss]] in {{p3}}, and is the fifth major boss encountered in [[Story Mode]], at the [[Garden of Hope]].

The creature resembles a massive chunk of land, complete with plant life growing on it such as {{w|Oxalis corniculata|Sleeping Beauty}} and {{w|Sagittaria pygmaea|Dwarf Arrowhead}}, that is supported by three enormous hooved legs, making it tripedal. It walks around much like creatures from the [[arachnorb family]]. When first found, the Mireclops' only vulnerable part – its plant-like bulb on top of its teapot lid-like mouth – is encased in a [[crystal]] (known as a "Mireclops crystal"), which must be destroyed by [[Rock Pikmin]]. When the creature stomps on the muddy terrain that makes up its entire arena, it leaves a hole that is filled with water, presenting the threat of drowning to any non-Blue Pikmin. | The creature resembles a massive chunk of land, complete with plant life growing on it such as {{w|Oxalis corniculata|Sleeping Beauty}} and {{w|Sagittaria pygmaea|Dwarf Arrowhead}}, that is supported by three enormous hooved legs, making it tripedal.
