The Obsidian Periscorp is a mini-boss introduced in Pikmin V, and a larger relative of the Glossy Periscorp. Its increased size puts its head out of range of throws under normal circumstances. The only time it is vulnerable is when it lunges with its shovel-like claws to trap Pikmin: the head will droop momentarily from the momentum, and if it successfully traps some, it will slouch its head down while eating them off three at a time.

Notes

Brittany's notes

The defining feature of the Obsidian Periscorp is the many tapered protrusions along its exoskeleton. They are not very effective as defensive spines; their primary purpose is to serve as circulation vents to help cool the Periscorp. This is necessary due to its larger size compared to its relatives, as its black cover absorbs more heat. For this reason, the Obsidian Periscorp is also nocturnal and hides in caves during the daytime.

Olimar's notes

While fundamentally similar to the Glossy Periscorp, it's too large for normal Pikmin to reach its head under most circumstances. It is smart enough to use its claws to block off part of your squad to eat them, but in doing so, it opens its head for attack.
