Lurking Lamchorb

The Lurking Lamchorb is the first enemy encountered in Pikmin: Echoes of Eternity, found in the Placid Plains. It is bipedal, however, it is built like a quadruped, so it struggles with certain movements. Even though it is slow, it packs a punch when encountered. Lurking Lamchorb usually graze in patches of Cattlegrass, which keeps them occupied and not alert to the Captains or Pikmin. However, if one is not around any grass, it will be very alert.

Not only does it eat Pikmin, but it uses its tail to stun Pikmin, making them an easy meal. It has exceptional hearing due to its large ears, having a range of detection about that of an Orange Bulborb, when not occupied. Its weak spot is the sides, as it is slow to rotate. Throwing Pikmin on its legs will slow it down even further, but if it knocks the Pikmin down, it will attempt to eat them. When the Pikmin are stunned, it is best to whistle them back repeatedly until they become normal again.
