In Pikmin V
The Glossy Periscorp is a caudifuge appearing in Pikmin V. It is a black, and its most notable feature is that its head is located on the end of its tail instead of a stinger. It has a truncated body protected by a single large piece of exoskeletal plating, leaving only the head, which is always raised, vulnerable to attack. This creates the difficult situation that being in range to throw non-Yellow Pikmin also puts one in danger of being attacked by the periscorp, which jabs with its head to eat the Pikmin. While it has pincers like its larger relative, the Obsidian Periscorp, they remain folded in front of its body and are not used.
