Tropical Blinnow

Tropical Blinnows are a species of Elips that was to appear in Hey! Pikmin, but remained unused in favor of the Puckering Blinnow.

In Hey! Pikmin 2
Tropical Blinnows appear in Hey! Pikmin 2 as enemies alongside their smaller relatives.

In Pikmin Eco
The Tropical Blinnow is a slightly larger relative to the Puckering Blinnow found in Pikmin Eco. They are a fully aquatic species, and as such are unable to be found anywhere on land.

They move slowly, but once the player or their Pikmin are in range, they will rush forward with their mouths wide open, snapping and eating any Pikmin that get caught in their way. They can be defeated fairly quickly with a swarm of Blue Pikmin.
