Akkarid family

The akkarid family consists of aquatic creatures that strongly resemble real-world s.

Armored Akkari
The Armored Akkari lurks in the water surrounding a small circle of land; most of the arena is composed of a thick sheet of ice. The creature's main method of attack is to circle around the arena and then breach into the air, landing on the ice and sliding forward with its mouth open to devour Pikmin in its path before sliding back into the water. It may also leap directly into the water to create a large splash of water to drown Pikmin standing on the ice. When it reaches a low enough amount of health, the Armored Akkari will also occasionally smash sections of the ice by jumping through from below, scattering freezing ice shards and temporarily reducing parts of the playing field.

Blade Akkari
The Blade Akkari is a massive eel-like boss monster. It has a long scythe on its head which it uses to stun and deflower Pikmin. It can eat up to twelve Pikmin at a time, can slam its tail into the ground to cause waves of water to flow towards Pikmin, and can regurgitate spiky spheres to stun Pikmin. It can even splash around in the water, creating waves that engulf the arena. It swims swiftly in the water surrounding the arena.
