Unknown family: Difference between revisions

I've subdivided most of these creature into "unknown subfamilies". I've also added a simple Lumiknoll description, based off the Piklopedia entry. If this is too speculative, then tell me.

[[File:FireflingerGroink.png|left|180px]]
{{Main|Fireflinger Groink}}
The Fireflinger Groink is an enemy that appears in ''Hey! Pikmin''. Although it is never stated they are related, the Fireflinger Groink shares many similarities to the Gatling Groink, which is interesting since both creatures do not belong to any known family.

=== Gatling Groink ===
[[File:Gatlinggroink.jpg|left|180px]]
{{Main|Gatling Groink}}
The Gatling Groink is an enemy in {{p2}}. It is a large biomechanical creature with eyes staring forward, two legs, a mechanical tail and a mouthplate that is opened to fire mortar rounds. Despite not having a very dangerous attack, it possesses strong defensive capabilities and is often located in hard-to-reach places, such as on top of pillars, increasing its protection against [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] even more. It attacks by initiating a cannon from its mouth and fires 3 mortars at regular intervals when in range of a target. When the balls hit the ground, they scatter all Pikmin in range and kill those at the absolute center of the blast. The method to attack it is to [[throw]] Pikmin at its rear, where it lacks metal shielding. It can shake the Pikmin off when agitated, and unlike most enemies, the shaking occurs without any visible preparations, giving the player hardly any reaction time. Because [[Purple Pikmin]] stun when they land on the ground, it is not necessary to get behind it to immobilize it with purples. Once killed, it starts [[HP#Regeneration|regenerating]] [[health]], making it crucial to carry it to an [[Onion]] or the [[Research Pod]]. If it isn't carried back on time, it will [[revive]] and continue its attack.

{{stub|Add information from the main article once its created.}}
These organic structures possess an incredibly strong dissolving enzyme, which can be transformed into glow sap if needed. Olimar speculates that since Lumiknolls are found where [[Onions]] are found earlier in the day, then Lumiknolls might be rhizome-like entities that redistribute ingredients into the local ecosystem.

== Unknown 'canine' family ==
The [[Ancient Sirehound]] is speculated by Olimar and later proven to be 99.9% genetically related to [[Moss]] and [[Oatchi]]. As such, it is likely they belong to the same unknown family.

The [[Gatling Groink]] and [[Fireflinger Groink]] are likely to belong to the same unknown family, due to similar japanese and english names, appearances, attacks and biomechanical nature.

=== Fireflinger Groink ===
The Plasm Wraith is the final boss of ''Pikmin 3''. It is a gold-covered wraith that can assume multiple forms and is relentless in its desire to capture and keep [[Olimar]] under its care. It can use a flurry of stabbing attacks to eat Pikmin that aren't Rock Pikmin and can spit out Elemental Plasms for fire, electricity, water, and crystal, destructible by the Pikmin type that is resistant to the relevant element.

The Waterwraith is a watery, humanoid boss in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''. It appears to have a human shape, a head, body, arms, and legs, without distinct characteristics though, since it is transparent. It falls from the sky and moves around on stony rollers, chasing leaders and their Pikmin. It is invincible to any Pikmin assault, even if [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], except when attacked by [[Purple Pikmin]]. When a Purple Pikmin lands on or near the Waterwraith, it turns dark and becomes vulnerable to all Pikmin attacks. When the player depletes its health, the rollers crumble and the Waterwraith will run around the cave until defeated.

== Unknown 'mamuta' family ==
Although the Piklopedia shows the [[Mamuta]] and [[Smoky Progg]] as having an unknown family, multiple [[Piklopedia]] comments for the Smoky Progg state that it is a malformed larval Mamuta, and as such, are the only enemies categorized under 'unknown' to have a confirmed biological relationship.

{{Main|Smoky Progg}}
The Smoky Progg is a hidden boss in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 4'', and is possibly one of the toughest. The only way to encounter it is to go into [[The Distant Spring]] [[areas|area]] before day 15. It resides in the massive lake area, on a later useless mound of small islands, in an egg form. If one touches the egg by any means, even with [[Olimar]], it will break out of the egg and show its true form; a dark green and black creature, emitting fumes toxic to Pikmin, sporting glowing white eyes. It will follow the player back to the landing site, so it's necessary to kill it. It can uproot Pikmin sprouts. The only way to hurt it is to throw Pikmin onto its large head. Any Pikmin left walking in its trail will succumb to the unknown substance it emits. It has an incredibly high defense and takes a while to kill. However, when killed it drops a pearl or nut that will be sufficient food to produce 100 Pikmin from any Onion that it gets to.
