Crockle

The Crockle is an enemy first discovered in the game Pikmin: The After Years. It is a dark red crocodile like creature with green spots and purple claws that gobbles up Pikmin very slowly. They are usually found in groups on 3 or more. Swarming isn't a good idea, but it could work.

How to Kill
Tossing a Pikmin on top is it will instantly kill it. If it manages to snatch Pikmin, don't panic, it takes about 5 seconds for it to gobble them up. It is best to stay away from these as they are not worth killing.

Trivia

 * This creature is based on the Klampon enemy from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.
