The '''Bearded Amprat''' is a species found only in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is based on a rat, or a guinea pig. When Pikmin approach, the Amprat will rub the fur on its face to generate electricity, charging after Pikmin and eating them. They can be found in the [[Distant Tundra]], [[Twilight River]], and [[Formidable Oak]].
Normally, the creature slowly and passively walks around its territory. When Pikmin or a Captain come close, however, it will flare its ears up to reveal its face and try to grab one and consume them. They have large amounts of hair that drapes over their mouths to make their faces resemble skulls. This hair spikes up when they are attacked and electricity will begin to pulse through their entire body to harm all non-[[Yellow Pikmin]], so Yellows are best used to fight it.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1ObpWgUq6Y</ref>

==Strategy==
==Trivia==
Any color of Pikmin works against this enemy, but [[Yellow Pikmin]] are recommended, as it has an electric defense. Make sure you use a lot, because it grabs Pikmin off of it and proceeds to eat them. This can be very annoying and hard to avoid, so you can either call them to you quickly, or use several Pikmin. Another strategy is to use the charge attack as an opening to send all your yellow Pikmin to the enemy's back so it cannot eat them. However, the Amprat can send the Pikmin to its front side or simply turn around, so leaving Pikmin alone to fight the enemy is a good way to lose extra Pikmin. A good strategy is to just bombard its head with Rock Pikmin, similar to Pikmin 2's strategy with [[Purple Pikmin|Purples]].
* "Amprat" is a portmanteau of "Amp", a measurement unit of electricity, and "Rat", a type of real-life rodent which it resembles.

The Bearded Amprat is a rodent-like creature in Pikmin 3. It resembles a small white rodent with large, brown ears that lay flat against its face, which have small spots on the outward-facing side, resembling eyes. It has four, small, mouse-like feet which it uses to move around and to grasp prey. Its body ends in a few small brown spots and a skinny, rat-like tail.

Normally, the creature slowly and passively walks around its territory. When Pikmin or a Captain come close, however, it will flare its ears up to reveal its face and try to grab one and consume them. They have large amounts of hair that drapes over their mouths to make their faces resemble skulls. This hair spikes up when they are attacked and electricity will begin to pulse through their entire body to harm all non-Yellow Pikmin, so Yellows are best used to fight it.[1]
