Gummed Dumple

Gummed Dumples are semiaquatic grub-dogs appearing in Pikmin 251. They are a close relative of the Water Dumple, having the same general body shape and behavioral characteristics. Like Water Dumples, Gummed Dumples are found on land and in water, waiting idly until a leader or their Pikmin draw near, where they will begin giving chase. A Gummed Dumple will quickly lose interest if its potential meal walks too far away, however, and return to its original spot.

The Gummed Dumple has purple, scaly skin covered in dark green splotches. Its lips are pink, and its tail is the same color as its splotches.

Even though they are slightly stronger than normal Water Dumples, a Gummed Dumple can easily be taken down by swarming it with a decent number of Pikmin. Taking down a group of them without losses can be a challenge, however, but swarming a large number of Pikmin into a small group of Gummed Dumples is still effective. Throw extra Pikmin onto the Gummed Dumples with the least amount of Pikmin attacking them to kill them faster and ensure there are no Pikmin casualties.
