Gatling Groink: Difference between revisions

'''Gatling Groink''' is an enemy in Pikmin 2. It is a large biomechanical creature with eyes staring forward, two legs, a mechanical tail, and a mouthplate that fires mortar rounds. It is one of the most annoying enemies in the game. It walks around and will not move off of cliffs. In the game, it is usually placed on top of hard-to-reach towers or pillars, giving it a wide attack range, this is even more annoying, because it can be extremley challenging to attack them when they are located as such. It attacks by initiating a cannon from its mouth and  fires 3 mortars (with very little time between firings). When the balls hit the ground, it will scatter all the Pikmin in range and kill those at the absolute center of the blast, some won't usually though, it may be kind of luck based. The method to attack it is to throw Pikmin at its non-metal parts, or its backside, it can shake the Pikmin off, however when agitated. It is still possible to stun or hurt it with a [[Purple Pikmin]] if you attack the frame of the creature. When killed, it will start regenerating health, making it crucial to carry it to the [[Onion]]. If you don't, it will revitalize and continue its attack. It is said, or theorized, that if its tail were eliminated from its anatomy, it would be completely incapacitated, however, you can't test that with your Pikmin.
