Fountain Crawmad

The Fountain Crawmad is a distinctly blue relative of the Hermit Crawmad. Upon detecting a nearby leader or Pikmin, they raise their heads from their burrows and spray a jet of water at them. To Blue Pikmin it is nothing but a taunt, and it may knock them over or cause them to lose their flowers. Other Pikmin are in more danger from the water, though. After spraying a few blasts of water, the Fountain Crawmad has to refill its water supply and does so by bending out of its hole and quickly drinking any water around it before returning to its position. When it moves to sip water, toss Pikmin over its head so that they land on the partially exposed backside. Fountain Crawmads have also been known to pounce forwards at Pikmin like Hermit Crawmads, so they are dangerous for this reason as well.
