In Pikmin Adventures
The Palunkin is a palunki appearing in Pikmin Adventures. Winged orange creatures found throughout the Pikmin Planet in groups of three to five, Palunkins are passive until they see Pikmin or leaders, and will attempt to slam onto them from above to rapidly eat any underneath by using the mouth on the underside of their single round foot. Pikmin in a Palunkin's immediate vicinity upon it slamming will be thrown back and depetaled. After it slams down is when it is most vulnerable, especially to swarming, and Pikmin thrown directly on top of it, the latter of which Purple Pikmin and Wollymin are most effective for.
