Sulking Sneedle

The Sulking Sneedle is an enemy encountered early in Pikmin: Echoes of Eternity. It is a dark blue insect with white spots and a large needle on the front.

Strategy
It walks around fast in short bursts like the Iridescent Flint Beetle, but somewhat slower. It will impale Pikmin one by one, so using suit tech is recomended. It is a rather weak enemy in terms of HP, but is powerful, insta-killing Pikmin one by one. Occasionally it will begin to cry, and that is when throwing Pikmin at it works best.
