Attacks Crushes Pikmin

Barnagons are humongous shellusks in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers that live on rocks in the ocean. They appear mainly in the area Creature's Quay on the larger stone platforms. The Barnagon is a large Starnacle with blue tentacles tipped with stones, a grey body with yellow flaps, and a large orange eye that has a red outline around its urn-shaped pupil.

The Barnagon swivels its eye around to spot potential threats. Upon spotting leaders and Pikmin, it will swing its tentacles around, occasionally slamming them onto the ground to crush up to five Pikmin at once. Rock Pikmin, whilst immune to the rocks, aren't able to smash the hard stones of the tentacles. The body is invincible and the tentacles can take minimal damage, but the eye is the weakest part of the body. Once the Barnagon is killed, the stones shatter and the Barnagon's eye sinks into the body alongside the tentacles, leaving the body to be taken. Notably, the creature only attacks creatures its swiveling eye sees. As such, the Barnagon can be bypassed if it is snuck past, perfect for a surprise attack.

Notes

Olimar's notes

Related to starnacles, the barnagon is a lumbering creature that latches onto rocks above the salty ocean water. The barnagon has sticky tips on its arms that collect pieces of sediments from the seafloor and uses small rocks to quickly condense it into makeshift stone clubs for smashing predators in.

Louie's notes

Fillet the super-long tentacles into thick slices, boil them in salty water, and grill within tinfoil. Best served with cocktail sauce and shredded pepper jack.
