Pearly Clamclamp: Difference between revisions

The '''Pearly Clamclamp''' ({{j|ヤマシンジュ|Yama Shinju|Hill Pearl}}; called the '''Clampshell''' in the European [[Region|version]] of {{npcp1}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p1}} and {{p4}}. This large {{w|bivalve}} has a pinkish shell, and inside, a small pearl surrounded by a clear blue membrane. This pearl can be attacked by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. One specific Pearly Clamplamp has a [[ship part]], the [[Positron Generator]], instead of a pearl, which works the same way. The enemy's only defense is acting like a {{w|Venus flytrap}}: the Clamclamp will stretch its mouth wide open, creaking like a poorly-oiled hinge, and chomp, eating any Pikmin inside. When its [[health]] is depleted, the pearl will fall out and can be [[Carry|carried]] to an [[Onion]], where it gives 50 Pikmin. However, the enemy cannot truly die, and will continue to attack even after its pearl has been removed.
