The '''Quaggled Mireclops''' ({{j|ヌマアラシ|Numa Arashi|Swamp | The '''Quaggled Mireclops''' ({{j|ヌマアラシ|Numa Arashi|Swamp Griefer}}) is a boss in {{p3}}, and is the fifth major boss encountered in story mode. It is first seen by [[Louie]], who tries to escape the Koppaites after they capture him. He is then swallowed by the creature along with a [[Wayward Moon]] he found, and both get spit out when the explorers defeat it. | ||
The enemy resembles a massive chunk of land (complete with plant life growing on it) that is supported by three enormous hooved legs, making it a tripedal creature. It walks around much like creatures from the [[arachnorb family]]. When first found, the boss' only vulnerable part – its plant-like bulb near its teapot-like mouth – is encased in a [[crystal]] (called a "Mireclops crystal"), which must be broken by [[Rock Pikmin]]. When the boss stomps on the muddy terrain that makes up its entire arena, it leaves a depression that is filled with water, presenting the threat of drowning to any non-Blue Pikmin. | The enemy resembles a massive chunk of land (complete with plant life growing on it) that is supported by three enormous hooved legs, making it a tripedal creature.
