The Shockspire Splurchin is a species of stationary splurchin appearing in Pikmin Evolution. It appears less like a sea urchin and more like stalagmite made out of pink coral or gray granite depending on the location of where it was found. It's main feature is the singular golden eye that appears on the top of the Spluchin's main body, giving it the appearance of a lighthouse of sorts. It's a stationary enemy, often found in caves but can also be found underneath large rocks or tree stumps, often found sticking to the floor, the sides of walls, or even on the ceiling. No two Shockspire Splurchins are the same height, with some being as tall as a Elongated Mockiwi while some are as short as a lowly Breadbug, but all Shockspire Splurchins share the same trait of being masters of electricity. When someone or something gets near its territory the Shockspire Splurchin will flash its eye before charging a continuous laser beam made out of electrical energy. This is most comparable to the Man-at-Legs energy blasts, but while the Man-at-Legs shoots several shots from its turret blaster, the Shockspire Splurchin shoots a continuous stream of electricity from its turret esc eye. The laser the Shockspire Splurchin produces will shock any Pikmin that touches it, requiring the captain to whistle their Pikmin back before they burn up and die from the continous voltage. This laser is also highly accurate, and can chase your squad for as long as the eye can directly see your squad or if the laser hits a wall. The main body of the Shockspire Splurchin is completely immune to damage, but it can be temporarily chipped away to shorted the height of the tower that is this beast. When the tower is short enough you must attack the eye in order to damage it, since its constantly covered in electricity only Wisp Pikmin can damage it. After some time, the Shockspire Splurchin will scatter sand and push your Pikmin back as it gains its original height once again requiring your squad to chip said body away again as well. A full squad of Wisp Pikmin makes fighting a Shockspire Splurchin very one-sided as it lacks any other way of attacking your squad, so your Wisp Pikmin are free to attack the Splurchin for no risk of getting killed. When it does get killed the tower that makes up its body collapses and the eye of the Splurchin can be collected and harvested. Overall the Shockspire Splurchin is very easy to take down with the right tools, but very dangerous without said tools.
