Rocktor

The Rocktor is a strange, worm-like creature that wears a "helmet" made of rocks that lives inside cave entrances. A cave that is plugged up by a Rocktor cannot be entered until the creature is defeated. The Rocktor, if approached, will periodically cover its den with its rock helmet and scatter stones around by shaking itself. The stones will deflower and push away Pikmin that get hit by them. When defeated, the Rocktor's helmet shatters and it falls into the cave below, allowing access.
