Dripper Wiggler

The Dripper Wiggler is an earthworm-like creature from Pikmin Eco. It has a long pink body resembling a worm or snake, with skin flaps along the back of its head. Its name is from its faucet-like snout, which curves downward into a grey nose, with long flattened eyes. It is a fairly weak enemy for its size, and spends most of its time underground rather than at the surface. Interestingly, it behaves slightly similar to the Snavians.

It can be found moving just underneath the surface of the ground, the land shifting slightly as it moves around. If approached, it will emerge from the ground to confront the player, and then spew out a small stream of water just in front of it that will drown Pikmin caught up in it, with the exception of Blue Pikmin. It can only be damaged while aboveground, but throwing a Purple Pikmin on top of it will force it out of the ground as well, making it slither around for a short while before burrowing back underground.
