Gatling Groink

Gatling Groink is an enemy in Pikmin 2. It is a large fish-like creature with eyes staring forward, two legs, and a mechanical tail and mouthplate. It is one of the most annoying enemies in the game. It walks around and will not move off of cliffs. In the game, it is usually placed on top of hard-to-reach towers or pillars, giving it a wide attack range. It attacks by sprouting a cannon from its mouth and firing energy balls (with very little time between firings). When the balls hit the ground, it will scatter all the Pikmin in range and kill those at the absolute center of the blast. The method to attack it is to throw Pikmin at its non-metal parts. It can shake the Pikmin off, however. When killed, it will start regenerating health, making it crucial to carry it to the Onion.
