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 it is red with yellow stripes and has less robotic elements, and has glass on its front robotic legs. It repeatedly spits large fireballs from the background by extending a mouth-like turret, and when a fireball hits, it can kill [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and damage [[Olimar]]. It is fairly rare, only appearing in two [[area]]s. | The '''Fireflinger Groink''' ({{j|ヤキダマコキン|Yaki Dama Ko Kin|Sizzling [[Gatling Groink|Bullet Child Goldfish]]}}) is an enemy found in {{hp}}.

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 goes far enough away from their firing spot. | The Fireflinger Groink sits in a stationary position in the background of the level, and cannot be interacted with.

{{naming | |||
|common = Fireflinger Groink. Fireflinger is a simple reference to what it does: flinging fireballs. The term ''Groink'' seems entirely made up; it is possible to extract the onomatopoeia for pig grunts, "oink", thus contracting "grunt" and "oink" to "Groink". | |||
|scientific = ''Magmaceps infernalis''. It references both "magma" and "infernal". These words are both often associated with fire. | |||

== Trivia == | |||
*The Fireflinger Groink shares many similarities to the [[Gatling Groink]], which is interesting since both creatures do not belong to any known family. | |||
*In the ''Hey! Pikmin'' logs screen, the size reference is incorrect. The creature is shown to be the size that it is drawn on-screen in-game, but because in-game it is far away, its real size should be much larger. | |||
