Lumpling family

The Lumpling Family is a group consisting of fish-like creatures.

Mallet Fish
It is actually quite a rare enemy, appearing only on a very small number of floors. It resembles a large fish with a round body and a large tail. Out of the top of its massive head, there is a large mallet, contributing to its rather obvious name. It has two, tiny dots for eyes with a flower pattern around them. It has a large mouth on the bottom of its body but does not eat Pikmin. Instead, It flops along the ground and homes in on Pikmin. It is not fast but is hard to avoid due to its size. Once it catches up with the group it will instantly begin smashing Pikmin flat with blows of its hammer. It can crush twenty Pikmin in one blow, though it depends on how many are in a group at once. The Pikmin along the outside of the mallet will be flung far and deflowered. This enemy is enormous, so it is best to simply stay out of its way. Its carcass can be carried back to the Dolphin Pod afterward, allowing the Onions to sprout seventeen Pikmin seeds!
