When it gets a clear view of a group of Pikmin or the current leader, it will charge and trap the Pikmin with its massive mandibles. During this time, it will commence eating Pikmin ('''5 '''at a time) with its wide tongue, during which it will stop moving, allowing players an oppritunity to throw [[Rock Pikmin]] at its crystalline armor to break it away. This will aggrivate the boss and save the trapped Pikmin. The now-exposed flesh can be freely attacked with any other available Pikmin types. | ||

It will then crawl around off-screen for a moment before coming back down to charge at the Pikmin once again.
