The Nutty Gumbobi is an enemy in Pikmin: Interstellar Cryptid. It is a bizarre fish with green, glossy skin. It has buggy yellow eyes and a long dorsal fin that's serrated and red, making it vaguely resemble a mohawk. The most striking attribute of the Nutty Gumbobi is that it doesn't live in water, instead peering out of the ground like an Armored Cannon Larva or Bogswallow. These fish come out of visible holes, but they're unable to be walked into and are not considered pits. When it emerges, a Nutty Gumbobi will spit spiked nuts that bounce in an arc, crushing and stabbing Pikmin hit by them. The nuts break when they collide with walls. When a Nutty Gumbobi is defeated, it will emerge from its hole, which closes up.
A larger relative of this creature, the Squirrely Gumbidru, appears as the boss of Centifly Haven.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “Although it seemingly lives out of the water, the Nutty Gumbobi periodically returns to rivers to sleep at night so as to not dry out before morning comes once more. In daylight, it wades its way through silt like an earthworm, using its gills to siphon water from the surrounding soil. It primarily eats midsized creatures, like young centipares and breadbugs, but has also been observed eating spiked nuts. It cannot ingest these morsels, let alone break their shells, so they're more or less inedible. Instead, they go to a separate organ in its body; a pouch of tissue, if you will. When under perceived threat, it will voluntarily regurgitate these nuts, which essentially become what amounts to spiny cannonballs. As usual in this planet's ecosystem, odd is synonymous with resourceful when concerning this backward-thinker.”
Louie's notes
- “A red meat fish with a nutty aftertaste. Roast it with your selection of nuts to enhance the flavor. I myself prefer using pistachios and this planet's native slicknuts.”
Bentley's notes
- “This planet's selection of fish and other aquatic life never fails to amaze me. If we made a national aquarium back at home dedicated to this planet, I'd imagine we'd turn a whole generation into conservationists! I wonder how we'd adapt this fish's unique living style, though. We might need a simulation of a river, and... uh, some solid ground. M-Maybe it could be part of a larger, river-based enclosure... hmmm. How big are the trees their nuts grow from, again?”
Eloise's notes
- “My uncle has a mean hazelnut allergy, so he'd probably hate to be face-to-face with this creature. Oh, have I got a story to tell him when we get done with all this!”
Alph's comments
- “Structural flaw: Lack of mobility
Weight: 12
How does it not completely destroy the lining of its organs? Those nuts go down its gullet rough and come out rougher, so surely the hardy bristles must be doing something to it from the inside. If we can apply the material that makes up its digestive tract to a bag, it can perhaps carry even the sharpest of alloys!”
Brittany's comments
- “Nuts are fruits, so I've been getting well-acquainted with this guy. If I brought my professional-grade nutcracker, we could use it to shuck the nut's shells. Then we'd have all the time in the world for leisure, studying fruit, and... whatever the captain is trying to do.”
Charlie's comments
- “If it's not the blunt force trauma that kills you, it's probably the bacteria swarming on the nuts that will. The repulsive film covering those nuts consists of internal fluids from the fish, so who knows how many pathogens are floating about in there? Always remember to stay sanitary in nutty gumbobi territory!”
