The Encrusted Blinnow is a species of elips in Pikmin: Elemental Speciation. They live in deep lakes or rivers, or watery caves. It is covered in hard crystals that can be broken by bomb rocks or Rock Pikmin. It is substantially larger than Puckering Blinnows and roams around its habitat. When it spots a Pikmin, it will charge at the Pikmin, gnashing its jaws. If it catches more than three Pikmin, it will stop before it reaches the wall, and eat them before resuming regular activity. If it catches fewer, it will crash into anything in front of it, including enemies and walls. Enemies will take large damage, but not necessarily be killed, and breakable obstacles will be destroyed. It can break dirt walls and crystal walls, but not electric gates, ice gates, and reinforced walls; this will only damage the blinnow if its face armor has been broken, dealing only a small amount of damage at first, and increasing after more armor is broken. When encountered when not fully submerged, it will leap out of the water to try to eat Pikmin, allowing Pikmin to hit its armor and break it off, and crushing any it lands on. When its armor is broken, it will retreat to another place, where it must be chased down to defeat.
This creature's scientific name is derived from calva, the Latin word for skull, and clipeum, the Latin word for shield.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “This species of blinnow favors a solitary hunting method and lives in larger bodies of water than its freshwater cousins. It frequently comes in-land or into caves to catch more prey. It has developed a hard armor shell to protect its body from the inevitable collisions. This shell is primarily built from dissolved minerals it filters out from the water in its surroundings, however, it is known to eat seashells or even just chunks of rock off the seafloor if it lives in exceptionally pure water. Most specimens, however, choose to live near or in caves, as they usually have the highest concentrations of dissolved mineral content.”

- “While this beast might not be the tastiest of morsels from this planet of flavorful fauna, it's certainly nothing to scoff at.
