Jackwig

Jackwig
Jackwigs are part of the mandiblard family. They are well known for their wasp like markings. They eat pikmin and unlike a lot of mandiblards they create nests underground to create colonies. They are also known to have visible nests on white and black gates. They do a great job warding off predators because they carry poisonous stingers to stab creatures, and their bright coloration warns predators to back off. If the predator isn't warded by it's coloration, they pull out their stingers and use it without hesitation. They don't eat bridges but they try to rebuild gates which have their nests.

Pikmin 4 the world to free
Tike's notes

This odd type of Shearwig doesn't break my bridges. However the Jackwig does something worse. They build nests on gates and not just that. If the gate is broken they go ahead and try to rebuild it Argh! These guys seem to mimic a lot of coloration of a jacket wasp in our planet. For that reason I shall call it a Jacketwig, get it? Well anyway these mandiblards can sting my pikmin with their hideous stingers. I begin to wonder why no enemies tend to roam by their nests. Could they be scared of them? They don't look scary.

Alice's notes

Good thing this armor I have is pretty sturdy. Without it I would be in a huge mess I don't feel like explaining (I am allergic to wasps). Maybe these aren't wasps however I am not risking it for the sake of avoiding the emergency room. They, on the positive note, are quite cute. I have tried to hide so I could see them in their more exciting attitudes. I was shocked their quite protective and still seem to watch the nest. However I learned that they are very aggressive... the hard way. I found a bulborb walking by and they killed it in a very cruel way and I will keep it like that no more.

Captain pikmin's notes

These pests put up a fight when you are near their nests. Aiming with caution is recommended. When they start to fly bash them with a pikmin. However, they are bigger and stronger than shearwigs, so it going to take more than one pikmin to do the trick.
