The '''Gildemander''' ({{j|タカラサンショウ|Takara Sanshou|Treasure Salamander}}) is an enemy in {{p4}}. It is a brown salamander-like creature with a glowing antenna like an {{w|Anglerfish}}, and many gold stones stuck to its back. It uses the detached gold stones on its back to lure Pikmin so it can gobble them up.

The HP for each of the coagulated Sparklium chunks on its back is equal to 2,500 or 3 Bomb Rocks. There are 6 on every Gildemander.

The Gildemander waits in the center of its arena until the leader and their Pikmin enter; once they do, it will begin crawling towards them and will attempt to eat the Pikmin using its large, sticky tongue. When the creature cannot find any leaders or Pikmin, it will look about and then begin wandering.
The Gildemander will either wander about or lie and wait until the leader and their Pikmin enter. Once they do, it will begin crawling toward them and will attempt to eat the Pikmin using its large, sticky tongue. Unlike other creatures which typically have a limit to how many Pikmin the creature can eat at once, the Gildemander can eat as many Pikmin as it can catch with a swipe of its tongue, which makes frontal attacks inadvisable due to the possibility of eating most, if not all, of the Pikmin in the player's squad in one fell swoop. When the creature cannot find any leaders or Pikmin, it will look about and then begin wandering again.


When the false gold on the creature's back is knocked off by attacking Pikmin, reattaching it will become the Gildemander's main priority. When this fake gold is knocked off, any Pikmin in your squad that are not on [[Oatchi]] or [[Moss]] will run to said gold and start attacking even if you didn't want them too . This could put many Pikmin in danger of being eaten by the Gildemander as there is no cap of how many Pikmin can be eaten. It will pursue the gold one piece at a time and grab it with its tongue, ensnaring most Pikmin currently attacking the gold as well. It will then toss the gold piece onto its back, covering its gemstone-like weak spots.
When the false gold on the creature's back is knocked off by attacking Pikmin, reattaching it will become the Gildemander's main priority. If knocking a piece off exposed one of the weak points on its back, the Gildemander will be stunned for approximately four seconds. When this fake gold is knocked off, any Pikmin in your squad that are not on [[Oatchi]] or [[Moss]], or are not attacking the creature's weak spots will automatically begin to attack the fallen nuggets automatically. This further endangers Pikmin from being eaten by the Gildemander, due to the previously mentioned lack of a cap to its eating capacity. It will pursue the gold one piece at a time and grab it with its tongue, ensnaring all Pikmin currently attacking the gold as well. It will then toss the gold piece onto its back, covering its gemstone-like weak spots and knocking any Pikmin attacking it off.


If many Pikmin are attacking the creature at once, it will shake its body to scatter them. When one of the weak spots on its back shatters, it is briefly stunned. Once all three weak spots are destroyed, the creature is defeated.

If a Gildemander is active in the current area/sublevel, your [[treasure gauge]] will be disrupted
If a Gildemander is active in the current area or sublevel, your [[Treasure Gauge]] will be disrupted and will not be able to accurately show you where treasure is, though this usually isn't an issue due to its boss status limiting it to areas where no treasures that are particularly difficult to find.

As the adult form of the Gildemandwee, it has many similarities to it. However, it is considerably larger than its juvenile and has more golden rocks and red, crystalline weak spots on its back.

This is one of 2 enemies that can eat you whole squad in one go, the other being the [[Arctic Cannon Beetle]]
*The Gildemander and it's juvenile counterpart have the glow removed from their lanterns when all the fake gold is destroyed. The interesting part is, when using a Lightning Shock (which normally disables most animations) and destroying the fake gold while it's stunned, the lantern will dim immediately rather than waiting for the stun to end.
*Acording to the [[Tablet #History and Stats|History and Stats]] page, the gold on It's back is an enemy.
