It is a strange creature, apparently just a head with long, chicken-like legs. Its head is usually protected by a thick layer of silica which can only be broken off by [[Rock Pikmin]] and [[bomb rock]]s. It is a rare creature, appearing only once in one area in story mode, but appears quite more often in [[Mission Mode]] and [[Bingo Battle]]. It has the qualifications of a mini-[[boss]], but is not considered as one, as the mini-boss music does not play when fighting it. | ||
