In Pikmin: The Continents
The Sanurtle is a semiaquatic sand dwelling -like enemy appearing in Pikmin The Continents. Sanurtles are adapted to coastal shores and eat vegetation berried in the sand. They lay eggs in the costal shore and guard them from Sand Pikmin or a creature that has a appetite for them. If anything gets close they would slap them away by the flipper. Their not carnivores so they won’t eat pikmin or other creatures once the eggs hatch the mother won’t be able to help them anymore because the mother would be old. The mother would have to leave her eggs hatched and wait until the hatchlings move to the ocean. But still the ocean won’t be safe for the hatchlings, lots of creatures and aquatic Pikmin are competitive over food or kills. Hatchlings can hide in small cracks in rocks or camouflage in the sand. Once they reach adulthood they would be to big for a creature to kill it, but a Pikmin can. When the old mother leaves the hatchlings the mother would have to decease and become food for aquatic creatures or Pikmin.
