Barbed Mockiwi

The Barbed Mockiwi is a mockiwi that would have appeared in. It has black feathers, a pink face with a darker pink beak, dark brown eyes and feet, and orange-tipped spikes covering a majority of its body. Pikmin and leaders that touch any part of the creature except its face would become impaled on or hurt by its spikes. Rock Pikmin would have been effective against them.

In Pikmin Z
The Barbed Mockiwi is the top predator of the mockiwi and a PC-exclusive enemy in Pikmin Z. It is encountered only on Aves Isle, where it feeds on small- to medium-sized animals, including other mockiwis, and has no known predators.

In Pikmin: Wide World
The Barbed Mockiwi is a mockiwi appearing in Pikmin: Wide World. A Barbed Mockiwi may be found on dry land, either exploring its territory or sleeping in a variety of positions. They are typically found alone but may sometimes be in pairs. A sleeping Barbed Mockiwi will wake up on its own sometime after settling down to sleep but will awaken prematurely upon being approached, touched, or harmed, or hearing a sound loud enough to rouse it from its slumber. While awake, it emits aggressive-sounding clucking noises as it moves about, and will pursue any Pikmin or leaders that come near with the intent to eat the former and bite the latter. Should they leave its territory or be somewhere inaccessible to it, it will screech and snarl at them before resuming patrolling its territory. Even being close to a Barbed Mockiwi outright is dangerous as most of its body is covered in sharp barbs that skewer most Pikmin, with the sole exception of Rock Pikmin, and injure leaders that touch them or are thrown at or forced into them. Only leaders that have the Iron Fists equipped are able to a Barbed Mockiwi without taking damage.

A Barbed Mockiwi resembles other generic mockiwis, being a small, squat, bird-like creature with vestigial wings at its sides. However, its strand-like feathers are black, its face is peach-colored, its beak being a darker color from its face and having a curved, pointed black tip, and its legs are dark brown. Its most recognization feature is the barbs protruding from its body, which are black and white in color.

Because a majority of a Barbed Mockiwi's body is covered by barbs, Rock Pikmin are almost necessary to fight them with. However, its face is vulnerable to any Pikmin type, and the creature can also be harmed and killed using rocks, any variety of bomb rock, and other such means. Its barbs cannot be destroyed whatsoever. Upon death, a Barbed Mockiwi will fall to the ground, its spines retracting enough to permit any Pikmin type to carry its body, and yield Aboveground, its body can be taken to either the Dolphin Lander to receive  or the Master Onion to receive eight Pikmin seeds. Underground, it carcass can be taken to the Lander Pod to either receive or be stored to later gain eight seeds of any chosen discovered main Pikmin type, but only if the cave is exited using an escape geyser.
