Ceiling Slurker

The Ceiling Slurker is an enemy and is very similar in appearance to the Medusal Slurker. However, this creature is anchored to surfaces above the ground and cannot move from its position. When Pikmin approach, it will lower its uvula and start absorbing any Pikmin beneath it, where they are quickly digested. If the Pikmin were carrying an object during this time, the Ceiling Slurker will swallow it as well and keep it stored inside its body until it dies; it cannot swallow more than one object at a time, but it can continue to attack Pikmin regardless. Often, this creature hangs too high for most non-Winged Pikmin to reach, so a quick way to take it out is to have a Pikmin place a bomb rock below it. The Ceiling Slurker will eat the bomb rock and will be killed by the ensuing explosion almost instantly.
