The Giant Minedropper is a larger variant of the Minedropper appearing in Pikmin: Shadows of the Future. It is an attack drone used by the Z Syndicate. Like the Minedropper, its body is a gray sphere with a single angry eye and a pair of insectoid mandibles. Four long, skinny legs coming out of the top of the robot make it resemble a Beady Long Legs, of which it is the size of. The Giant Minedropper stomps around, laying fragmentation mines where it goes. Pikmin and leaders that get too close to the mines will cause them to trigger, detonating after a few seconds. If a mine detonates, the robot will immediately investigate the location it was in. Like its smaller replicas, the Giant Minedropper is unaffected by its own weaponry. Due to its massive size, Pikmin can be crushed under its feet. To shake Pikmin off of itself, the Giant Minedropper will lightly jump, and when it lands, any mines around it will be triggered and detonate. Yellow Pikmin are recommended to attack the creature with because of its sheer height, but Purple Pikmin can also be used once the creature lowers its body to inflict the most damage at once.
