Fireflinger Groink: Difference between revisions

|attacks    = Hurl fireball at Pikmin

The '''Fireflinger Groink''' is an enemy found in {{hp}}. It's a fish-like organism with some robotic parts, and is about three times as large as Olimar. It looks very similar to the [[Gatling Groink]], although its red with yellow stripes and has less robotic elements, only glass on its front robotic legs, and two pipes that move when it shoots. It repeatedly spits large fireballs from the background by extending a mouth-like turret, and when hit with can kill [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and damage [[Olimar]]. It is fairly rare, only appearing in two [[area]]s.

The Fireflinger Groink sits in a stationary position in the background of the level, and cannot be interacted with. Once it spots Pikmin, it will fire large fireballs at the foreground, raining down these projectiles onto the level. They will continue to attack relentlessly until the player leaves the area.

The Fireflinger Groink sits in the background of the levels they are encountered in, and, as such, cannot be attacked. The player can anticipate the areas where their fireballs will land by the preceding beam of light, but the enemy itself cannot be defeated. The best thing to do is to walk forward right after the fireball drops, since it will take a little bit for the next one to reach.
