The '''Bearded Amprat''' ({{j|ビリー|Birī|Billy}}) is a rodent-like [[enemy]] in {{p3}}. It attacks Pikmin by generating [[electricity]], stunning all Pikmin attacking it (except [[Yellow Pikmin]]), and then eating them. It resembles a small white guinea pig with large brown spots on its face and back. Its head is rounded with small eyes in the front and no apparent ears. As its name implies, its face is draped in large amounts of long, straight hair which gives their face a slight resemblance to a skull. It has four small, mouse-like feet which it uses to move around and to grab prey. Unlike the rest of its body, the feet are green with brown tips on the toes, which lack claws. Its body ends in a few small brown spots and a skinny, mouse-like tail.

{{Transcript|This little cutie has a long beard that makes it look a bit curmudgeonly. But if you were to try brushing it, do so with caution! This dear one will... Well, see for yourself. Move in close to get a good look. A truly shocking experience awaits you.}}

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
A kind of rodent that generates static electricity by rubbing its whiskers. It is a very unusual mammal and is expected to be studied in the future as a singularity in evolutionary taxonomy.
Feature #1: Generating electricity
:It rubs its long whiskers, which have high electrical storage capacity, to collect and discharge static electricity.
:(Image text:
:*"It rubs repeatedly"
:*"It has two incisors that continuously grow in the upper and lower jaws, and no canines")
Feature #2: Maintaining a constant body temperature
:Its entire body is covered with fur, maintaining a constant body temperature, and it uses its abdomen and tail, which are thinly furred, to regulate its body temperature. It produces milk for its young, an unusual trait.

* The Bearded Amprat is one of the few creatures in the Pikmin universe that seems to retain some traits from modern-day mammals.
*The Bearded Amprat is one of the few creatures in the Pikmin universe that seems to retain some traits from modern-day mammals, which is noted by Olimar's log entry as being unusual.
*The Bearded Amprat is the only enemy that displays a visible anus, though the mouth of the [[Sandbelching Meerslug]] technically serves the same purpose.
