In Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers
The Landmine Groink is an enemy in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers. It dons steel, multicolored armor that makes it resemble a. It has a wrench-shaped tail. On its face is a painted mouth not unlike the "shark mouth" design on the noses of some fighter planes, and there is a hatch on its back from which it dispenses its titular landmines. It also has armored legs and feet. The Landmine Groink is also notable for being the very first enemy created for Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers.

The Landmine Groink wanders around the arena, and when it gets near Pikmin, it opens its hatch and releases three pink, pellet-shaped objects. If leaders or Pikmin walk over them, they will begin spraying an intense flurry of sparks before exploding three seconds later, detonating all other explosives in range. The landmines will fizz out and break apart if they go into water, rendering them harmless. The Landmine Groink can also use the front of its body to bludgeon Pikmin into the ground, crushing them. When defeated, all remaining landmines inside the Landmine Groink's compartment will prime, the hatch suddenly clamping shut as the Landmine Groink's eyes widen. The mines will all proceed to go off at once, blowing the Landmine Groink's armor clean off and revealing it as a scrawny, fleshy bipedal fish resembling a Black Moor goldfish. The creature is completely incapable of living without its armor, and it collapses dead on the ground soon after.
