Helmuck family

The Helmuck family consists of gelatinous, hard-shelled creatures.

Amphoric Greasponge


The Amphoric Greasponge is a distant relative of the Glacial Helmuck. Its shell is soft and shaped like a hollow cylinder. As the creature moves, it leaves a trail of oil that makes Pikmin slip and slide when they walk on it. When approached, the creature also occasionally gushes out a shower of oil drops from the top of its shell which splatter on the ground, leaving small puddles; Pikmin will start to drown if an oil drop lands on them, even Blue Pikmin.

Glacial Helmuck


The Glacial Helmuck is a creature with a small shell and has a gelatinous body that can stretch across a wide radius. This creature moves around with its shell enshrouded in icy cold gas, occasionally oozing its body outwards to freeze the ground underneath, making it slippery. It then retracts itself back into its shell.
