The '''Gatling Groink''' is a biomechanical creature similar in size to an [[Red Bulborb|adult Bulborb]]. It looks like a rotund goldfish, including a skin that resembles fish-scales and sports the typical orange and white coloring of one. It further has two slender legs that end in fin-like feet, a glass shield between its two forward-facing eyes, two upward-facing exhaust pipes, a rotatable fin-like tail, and a mouthplate which covers both its underside and its retractable cannon. The cannon fires mortar rounds and is placed where a fish's mouth would typically be. The origins of the mechanical parts are quite vague, much like the [[Man-at-Legs]] and [[Fireflinger Groink]]. Its shield can be destroyed using [[Rock Pikmin]] or a similar Pikmin variety. [[Bomb-rock]]s can also be used to destroy it. Pikmin can be thrown onto its tail to prevent it from firing its cannon, which will cause it to panic until it shakes its attackers off of itself.
The '''Gatling Groink''' is a biomechatronic creature that has an appearance reminiscent of a rotund goldfish.

Gatling Groinks usually patrol areas they are found in and are known to actively seek out [[leader]]s and their [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]]. Some Gatling Groinks are found stationary on top of hard-to-reach towers, giving it a wide attack range, which is especially annoying when they have an item such as a treasure and cannot merely be avoided.
 
It attacks by initiating a cannon from its mouth and fires either one large or three small mortar shells, with little time between firings. When the shells hit the ground, they explode and scatter any of the Pikmin in range and kill those at the absolute center of the blast. If used correctly and carefully, the Gatling Groink's cannon can be used to kill other enemies and even airborne enemies. To do this, the Gatling Groink must fire at the active leader while they are standing near or under another enemy. If this is done correctly, it should be able to kill most large ground enemies in three to four shots. The shells will not harm the Gatling Groink itself, however. It can also destroy every type of [[hazard]] except for [[bomb-rock]]s.

===Olimar's notes===
:''"This beastly predator's aggressive ejection of high-speed projectiles makes it one of the most fearsome creatures in the ecosystem. Its body seems to comprise of both biological and mechanical components, and represents one of the most evolutionary advanced specimens ever observed. The chamber within its torso gives it rapid-fire bio-pellet launch capabilities. What appears to be a tail fin is in fact the base of its counter-weight and ammunition cylinder, so immobilizing this appendage will prevent the groink from attacking... at least in theory. Confirmation of this suspicion remains elusive, as nobody has volunteered to test it."''

The '''Gatling Groink''' is a Pikmin 2-exclusive enemy that appears in [[Pikmin Eco]]. It is a rare enemy, only found in two caves and never found aboveground. It's behavior is only slightly altered compared to its Pikmin 2 counterpart, in that it will not fire if the player and Pikmin are too close to it, at risk of damaging itself with its own mortar shells. Instead it will quickly drop itself onto the ground and knock the player back to a suitable distance to fire at them.

Gatling Groinks usually patrol their territories and are known to seek out the active leader and their Pikmin, but some are stationary atop a high vantage point, giving them a wide attack range. It attacks by revealing a cannon from its mouth and firing mortar shells from it with little time between firings.

The Gatling Groink is a Pikmin 2-exclusive enemy that appears in Pikmin Eco. It is a rare enemy, only found in two caves and never found aboveground. Its behavior is only slightly altered compared to its Pikmin 2 counterpart, in that it will not fire if the player and Pikmin are too close to it, at risk of damaging itself with its mortar shells. Instead, it will quickly drop itself onto the ground and knock the player back to a suitable distance to fire at them.
