Biomechatronics isn't perfect either but it's much closer. Also removed "tower)", I'm guessing that was carried over accidentally

It is a biomechatronical creature similar in size to an [[Red Bulborb|adult Bulborb]]. It reminds of a rotund goldfish, including a skin that resembles fish-scales and sports the typical orange and white coloring of goldfish. It further has two slender legs that end in web- or fin-like feet, what appears to be a windshield between its two forward-facing eyes, two upward exhaust pipes, a rotatable fin-like tail, and a mouthplate which covers both its underside and its retractable cannon. The cannon fires mortar rounds and is placed where a fish's mouth would typically be. The origins of the mechanical parts are unknown, much like the [[Man-at-Legs]]. | ||

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. | ||
It attacks by initiating a cannon from its mouth and fires either one large or three small mortars (with little time 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. Given unknown circumstances, Pikmin caught in the dead center will still survive. Rarely, the game may tally the surviving Pikmin for the death count. | It attacks by initiating a cannon from its mouth and fires either one large or three small mortars (with little time between firings).
