Akkarid family

The Akkarid family is a group consisting of large aquatic species that strongly resemble Eels. The name of the group comes from the main species name "Akkari".

Armored Akkari


The Armored Akkari lurks in the water surrounding a small circle of land; most of the arena is composed of a thick sheet of ice. The creature's main method of attack is to circle around the arena and then breach into the air, landing on the ice and sliding forward with its mouth open to devour Pikmin in its path before sliding back into the water. It may also leap directly into the water to create a large splash of water to drown Pikmin standing on the ice. When it reaches a low enough amount of health, the Armored Akkari will also occasionally smash sections of the ice by jumping through from below, scattering freezing ice shards and temporarily reducing parts of the playing field. The ice floes will eventually drift back together after some time.

Blade Akkari


The Blade Akkari is a massive eel-like boss monster. It has a long scythe on its head which it uses to stun and deflower Pikmin. It can eat up to twelve Pikmin at a time, can slam its tail into the ground to cause waves of water to flow towards Pikmin, and can regurgitate spiky spheres to stun Pikmin. It can even splash around in the water, creating waves that engulf the arena. It swims swiftly in the water surrounding the arena.
