In Pikmin: New World
The Shimmering Whiskerpoddler is a rare whiskerpillar in Pikmin: New World. They have the same body shape as Ravenous Whiskerpillars but have large feet and different colouration. They have a purple back and brown sides and have a shiny black and white saddle in between their head and body. They also have black-and-yellow zebra stripes on their collars and a cream coloured belly. The inside of their mouth is a shiny blue that is induced by the metal on their mouthparts.

They are harmless but if seen should be killed immediately. They drop six full blobs of nectar upon death and their bodies are worth forty Pikmin seeds each. However, they are extremely fast and will immediately vanish after their first charge. Because of this, it is crucial to sneak up behind them. To do so, one must do some detective work. Their presence on a floor can be told by looking at metallic-blue shining bite marks in low growing plants. These will close up after a while so if they are seen it means that one has passed by very recently. They normally walk about rather slowly so they will be quite easy to find if these bites are found. If seen, chucking Pikmin at it repeatedly should slow down its charge to a mere staggering walk. A single Pikmin thrown on top of it should kill it when in this state. They are found in most tree climb dungeons, but not often.
