Jewelbomb

PS undefined

Jewelbombs are strange enemies that appear in Pikspore. The Jewelbomb is a quadrupedal creature that has a jet black body, of which is encrusted with pink gems, and on the top of its body is a long arm ending in a pair of grasping pincers. It carries in its pincers a bomb rock that is infused with a sticky black liquid. When provoked, the Jewelbomb will detonate the bomb-rock, causing black slime to coat the surrounding area. Pikmin that walk through it will get stuck and cannot be freed unless they are whistled out by a leader. Another bomb-rock is generated by the creature shortly after the previous one is used, which occurs even when the Jewelbomb is dead.

In Pikmin X: Deep Freeze
Jewelbombs return in Pikmin X: Deep Freeze with some changes. It now only has two legs, and the biggest change is its grasping tail that it uses to roll bomb-rocks towards Pikmin like bowling balls, which are able to knock Pikmin over as they move. Because the creature cannot generate bombs of its own, it intercepts bomb-rocks placed or thrown by Pikmin to send back at them; otherwise, it can use its tail to stab Pikmin that come too close and can eat up to three of them at a time. Jewelbomb bomb-rocks do not splatter sticky slime in this game.
