Fireflinger Groink

The Fireflinger Groink is a fish-like organism with some robotic parts, and looks very similar to the Gatling Groink. It has a large detection radius, and repeatedly spits large fireballs from its mouth-cannon that rain down from above and can kill Pikmin and harm leaders.

In Pikmin: The After Years
The Enraged Groink is a relative of the Gatling Groink appearing in Pikmin: The After Years. Unlike its relative, the Enraged Groink spews a jet of fire from its mouth-cannon instead of shooting explosive mortars. It has a red body and blue pupils. The Enraged Groink stomps about at a fast pace, and chases after Pikmin or leaders it sees. It will then approach them and begin blowing fire at them, which can be devastating. Any Pikmin can attack this creature, but Red Pikmin are unaffected by its attack. Purple Pikmin are useful in stunning it, and leaders can defeat it quickly if the Crystallized Rage upgrade has been obtained.
