Lurking Lamchorb

The Lurking Lamchorb is the first enemy encountered in Pikmin: Echoes of Eternity, found in the Placid Plains. It is bipedal, however, it is built like a quadruped, so it struggles with certain movements. Even though it is slow, it packs a punch when encountered. Not only does it eat Pikmin, but it uses its tail to stun Pikmin, making them an easy meal. It has exceptional hearing due to its large ears, having a range of detection about that of an Orange Bulborb.

Olimar's notes

 * "This rather large organism is a completely new species! It resembles nothing I have seen in the field before. Perhaps that is due to the fact that we are in a strange, unknown land. However, the oberro agnus is a clumsy specimen. It clambers slowly on two legs but is elongated. Such a strange proportion must be vestigial in nature. Evolutionary speculation aside, the lurking lambchorb uses its tail and teeth to dispatch Pikmin. Great care must be taken around these foes."

 * "Oberro agnus, kingdom Animalia, phylum cannicus, class vegeterri, family lamchorb. This bipedal organism seems to have a vestigial torso structure accommodating a quadrupedal configuration. It is estimated that 300 million years ago a common ancestor began to lose its back legs, due to environmental pressure, and success using its tail to catch prey. Being a herbivorous heterotroph, oberro agnus feeds on plant matter. However, due to seemingly predatory adaptations, one can surmise the existence of a mobile, hostile plant prey. Such a discovery leads to more questions..."
