When it gets a clear view of a group of Pikmin or the current leader, it will charge and trap the Pikmin with its massive mandibles. During this time, it will commence eating Pikmin ('''five''' at a time) with its wide tongue, during which it will stop moving, allowing players an opportunity to throw [[Rock Pikmin]] at its crystalline armor to break it away. This will aggravate the boss and save the trapped Pikmin. The now-exposed flesh can be freely attacked with any other available Pikmin types. If it loses sight of the leaders or the Pikmin, it will briefly pause and look around for them before moving again. | ||
Once it has started to lose armor, it will crawl faster and begin to evade the Pikmin by crawling up the walls of the arena. It will then crawl around off-screen for a moment before coming back down to charge at the Pikmin once again. When it is out of view, the player can still be made wary of its location by either looking at the [[KopPad]]'s map, or by paying attention to where small chips of wood are falling from the ceiling. | Once it has started to lose armor, it will crawl faster and begin to evade the Pikmin by crawling up the walls of the arena.
