In Pikmin Evolution
The Porquirado is a species of sharpshell appearing in Pikmin Evolution as a secret boss. It is a large creature, twice the size as it's close relative the Porquillion and shares the same body structure as it, but it's skin is shinier than it's relative, almost as if it's silver. The most notable design element of the Porquirado however is instead of spikes growing from it's body, a mountain of gold nuggets grows from its back. Compared to the more neutral Porquillion and more hostile Torquillion the Porquirado is docile by nature, often being seen peacefully drinking from local springs, Unmarked Spectralids often rest on the back of this gentle giant with the titan enjoying the presence of these flutterbies. Porquirados are exceedingly rare, said to only be found when nature finds the perfect balance with technology. In-game this means reaching an equilibrium between creating an advanced settlement and not being harmful to nature in any way, and by doing that will this rare sharpshell spawn. As previously stated, Porquirado is docile by nature, but that doesn't mean it will be hard to take down, as it has quadruple the health of the original Pikmin's incarnation of the Emperor Bulblax. At first the Porquirado will simply try to flee from attackers, attacking with retaliatory tackles which don't kill Pikmin, just shoves them out of the way, it will also try to create a loud screech to scare your squad, scattering them to allow itself to flee. However when it loses a quarter of it's health it sees your army as hostile and will actively try to kill your squad. Like all sharpshells it will attack by shaking off the objects on it's back, in this case the mountain of gold nuggets, to attack your squad. While the idea of a golden rain seems enticing, that hides the fact that having gold land on top of you will hurt, as the golden nuggets it shakes off will have the size and crushing power as a falling boulder. This in a way makes the Porquirado the logical extreme when it comes to the fighting tactics of the sharpshell family. While the rocks tossed by the Porquirado can be resisted by Alloy Pikmin thanks to their immunity to crushing attacks, the sharpshell has more than enough skills to counter that one Pikmin type. That comes in the form of it's bellyflop attack, where the sharpshell jumps in the sky and crushes your squad, and since it's so large and heavy it is able to crush all Pikmin types, even Alloy Pikmin can't survive this attack. Additionally at half health it gains a new attack where it will attempt to burn your squad with a searing blue fire breath, which is so hot that it instantly kills all non-Elixer Pikmin rather than simply setting them on fire. These factors when combined with it's massive health pool makes it very difficult to take down when it becomes serious, however your not supposed to take it down. Seemingly as punishment for killing a peaceful creature your local settlement rating will lower greatly, meaning an extra difficult raid will occur shortly after the sharpshell is killed. So rather than try and slay the creature, you should try and instead remove all the gold off it's back via tools such as lit Elixer Pikmin or user fire bombs to melt the gold off the creature to be collected for sparklium. If you do want to kill the creature however, it will be guaranteed to drop a pristine condition refuse upon death, so if you want to deal with the consequences of your actions you at least get rewarded greatly for it.
