Water Dumple: Difference between revisions

'''Water Dumples''' ({{j|ダンゴナマズ|Dango Namazu|Dumpling Catfish}}) are enemies in all of the main [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. They are members of the [[grub-dog family]], and act like  [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s. They are most commonly found in the water, but can survive on land as well. They resemble blue cat- or shellfish, with relatively large mouths, whisker-like features, and tentacles at the rear of their abdomen. They are weaker and slower with each successive game, but can always be defeated easily if the player is cautious and [[Group move|swarms]] them. Just like Bulborbs, [[Purple Pikmin]] in {{p2}} will work particularly well if this creature is found on land. A Water Dumple can be defeated easily by [[leader]]s as it has few hit points.

Water Dumples are very much unchanged in ''Pikmin 2''. They still can't be crushed with a direct hit, but they do take extra damage from Purple Pikmin stomps, losing half their health.They are found more frequently on land due to the many caves they appear in that contain little or no water. They move at a slightly slower pace, and their movement animation has been drastically slowed.
