Mandiblard family: Difference between revisions

The '''mandiblard family''' consists of four known species, three of which demonstrate a degree of {{w|sexual dimorphism}} not uncommon to insects. On a whole they have little vitality and are not especially dangerous, but like the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]], they are infamous for tearing apart nearby [[Bridge|stick bridges]] which [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] have built. Due to their general inability to present any danger, these enemies are usually found in groups of three or more, and are always buried in the ground, appearing only when a leader or Pikmin approaches close by. In the first two games, members of the mandiblard family will gradually lose health while in water.

In ''Pikmin'', all mandiblards share the same internal name, <code>Kabekui</code>. {{j|かべ|kabe}} means "wall" and {{j|くい|kui}} meaning "eat". The fact that they are called "[[Gate|wall]] eater" instead of "[[bridge]] eater" seems to indicate that, [[Pikmin prerelease information|during development]], these creatures served a different purpose.
