The '''Scaly Custard''' ({{j|ワニノフグリ|Waninofuguri|Crocodile Scrotum}}) is an [[wikipedia:Avocado|avocado]] found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. There are a total of two in the game's story mode, and both require 8 Pikmin to carry. They provide one and a half cups of juice each. One also appears in [[Forgotten Cove]] in [[Mission Mode]], where it is worth 80 [[Pokos]].

The '''Scaly Custard''' ({{j|ワニノフグリ|Wani No Fuguri|Crocodile Scrotum}}) is a [[fruit]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and a [[treasure]] in {{p4}}. It is an {{w|avocado}}. There are a total of two in ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} [[Story Mode]], and each provides one and a half bottles of juice (three-fourths in [[difficulty|Ultra-Spicy mode]]). In ''Pikmin 4'', there are 2 in Story Mode.

The Scaly Custard in the [[Tropical Wilds]] is on a plateau in the middle of the northern half of the area. This plateau requires the use of [[seesaw block]]s to get on top of it. Have at least one leader next to the seesaw block next to the beach, and another leader near the other seesaw block on the plateau. Weigh the beachside seesaw block down and walk onto it with as few Pikmin as possible; you may want to throw them up first. Get the other leader to throw Yellow Pikmin onto the [[Bouncy Mushroom]] so they land on the seesaw block on the plateau, causing the beachside seesaw block to rise. Switch to the other leader and walk across the plateau – the Scaly Custard should be easily accessible.
 
An easier way to get the fruit is to go next to the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]], and throw Pikmin onto the plateau from there.

=== Garden of Hope ===

The Scaly Custard in the [[Garden of Hope]] is on the small island right before the [[Quaggled Mireclops]]' arena. After discovering [[Blue Pikmin]] and building the pot [[bridge]], throw two [[leader]]s onto it along with some [[Rock Pikmin]]. Proceed to throw the other leader and the Rock Pikmin to the other side. A [[Peckish Aristocrab]] will be hiding in the tin can. Defeat it, and it will drop the Scaly Custard. Do note that you will have to construct the blue bridge to carry the fruit back to the [[Drake]], unless [[Winged Pikmin]] are used.

===Tropical Wilds===
=== Engulfed Castle ===
The Scaly Custard in the [[Tropical Wilds]] requires the use of [[elevator platform]]s to access the elevated area. Have at least one leader stand on the platform near the beach area, and throw eight Pikmin to the ledge the platform rises up to. With another leader, throw at least two [[Yellow Pikmin]] onto the [[Bouncy Mushroom]], causing them to land on the other elevator platform, weighing it down. Use the other leader to find the second elevator platform, and the Scaly Custard should be right next to it.
There is a Scaly Custard hanging from a cobweb on the southeastern corner of the central room in sublevel 3 of the [[Engulfed Castle]]. To collect this treasure, you must approach it from the raised ledge to the east and throw 10 Pikmin at it.


===Garden of Hope===
=== Primordial Thicket ===
The Scaly Custard in the [[Garden of Hope]] is in the section right before the [[Quaggled Mireclops]]' arena. After discovering [[Blue Pikmin]] and building the pot, throw two [[leader]]s onto it along with some [[Rock Pikmin]]. Proceed to throw the other leader to the other side, along with the Rocks. A [[Peckish Aristocrab]] will be hiding in the tin can. Defeat it to claim your prize. Do note that you will have to construct the bridge to get the fruit back to the [[Drake]], unless [[Winged Pikmin]] are used. The bridge will have to be built eventually, so it'd be easy to just build it now.
There is a Scaly Custard trapped by [[sticky mold]] at the southernmost point of the overworld. To collect this treasure, you must clear out the mushrooms by throwing Pikmin at the platform. After they destroy the mushrooms, they will begin carrying the treasure, so throw at least 10.

== Naming ==
The fruit is called "Scaly Custard" because its outer shell resembles a reptile's skin, which is lined with scales, and the interior is actually quite smooth, like pudding or custard.
 
The Japanese name, {{j|ワニノフグリ|Wani No Fuguri}} literally translates to "Crocodile Scrotum". The reason for this is that the etymology for the word "avocado" has one origin from the Nahuatl word āhuacatl, and this word would sometimes be used as "testicle"; this ties in the relation between the fruit's wrinkly exterior and the body part.{{cite web|http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term{{=}}avocado|Avocado|Online Etimology Dictionary}} As stated before, the appearance resembles that of a reptile, so the name "Crocodile" is apt. In Eastern China, it's called "è lí", which means "alligator pear", and one of the earliest English uses of the word uses it as a corruption of "alligator pear".
