In Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers
The Aureate Blinnow is an enemy in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers. It is similar to a Puckering Blinnow, but its skin is of a beautiful, sheening golden color, its fin is a deep red, and the spots and back markings are a deeper shade of green. Its eyes are green with lilac irises, and there are a pair of tusk-like tubes curled around them. The creature's beak is shorter than the Puckering Blinnow's and is unfit for eating Pikmin. Overall, it resembles a.

Living in shaded areas where its skin can't reflect so much light, the Aureate Blinnow is content with swimming about and eating mosses in the water. When Pikmin or leaders approach, it panics and jets away using ink from the tubes on its head. This ink makes Pikmin panic but dissipates quickly. If defeated, its body can be recovered to gain a massive stockpile of Pikmin seeds or Pokos; however, once spooked, it will eventually burrow into the ground, not reappearing until five days pass. It can be seen as a direct parallel to the Vortexive Paimourse, which is large, dangerous, and chases after Pikmin in excitement.
