The '''Gatling Groink''' ({{j|タマコキン|Tama Ko Kin|Bullet Child Goldfish}}) is an enemy in {{p2}}. | The '''Gatling Groink''' ({{j|タマコキン|Tama Ko Kin|Bullet Child Goldfish}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p2}}. Gatling Groinks are biomechatronical creatures similar in size to an [[Bulborb (disambiguation)|adult Bulborb]]. They resemble rotund goldfish, including skin that resembles fish-scales and sport the typical orange and white coloring of goldfish. They further have two slender legs that end in web- or fin-like feet, what appears to be windshields between their two forward-facing eyes, two upward exhaust pipes, rotatable fin-like tails, and mouth plates which covers both their undersides and their retractable cannons. The cannons fire mortar rounds and are placed where a fish's mouth would typically be. The origins of the mechanical parts are quite vague, much like the [[Man-at-Legs]] and [[Fireflinger Groink]]. | ||
Gatling Groinks can usually be seen patrolling caves and are known to seek out the active [[leader]] and his [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. A different variation of the groink is found stationary on top of hard-to-reach towers, giving it a wide attack range, which is especially annoying when they are in possession of a treasure and cannot merely be avoided. There are hence, two behaviors, one for walking around, shooting at short range, one for standing still and shooting enemies below at long range. This is evidenced by the fact that if a tower-standing Gatling Groink is taken down and left to be revived, it will not move from its spot. When roaming a metal-type sublevel, it is entirely possible that the Gatling Groink may walk off into the abyss, most commonly in sublevel 7 of the [[Subterranean Complex]]. | Gatling Groinks can usually be seen patrolling caves and are known to seek out the active [[leader]] and his [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]].

They attack by extending cannons from their mouths and firing either one large or three small mortars (with a small duration between firings). When the shells hit the ground, they explode and scatter any of the Pikmin in range and kill those at the absolute center of the blast for the large mortar. The 3-shot mortars have one deadly mortar which will kill pikmin along the entire radius while the 2 others simply knock pikmin away. | |||
If used correctly and carefully, the Gatling Groink's cannon can be used to kill other enemies and even airborne enemies. To do this, the Gatling Groink must fire at the active leader while he is standing near or under an enemy. If this is done correctly, it should be able to kill most large ground enemies in three to four shots. The shells will not harm the Gatling Groink itself, however. It can also destroy every type of [[hazard]] except for [[bomb-rock]]s. This can be used to the player's advantage by having it destroy the two poison gates in the [[Wistful Wild]]. | If used correctly and carefully, the Gatling Groink's cannon can be used to kill other enemies and even airborne enemies.
