The '''Sandbelching Meerslug''' is a light brown eel-like creature resembling a {{w|lamprey}}. Upon attempting to dig up an object, such as the [[Folded Data Glutton]], buried in its arena, the meerslug appears from beneath the sand, eats the object, and begins to attack the [[leader]]s and the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] there. It quickly tunnels under the sand to pursue them, and although it does not show itself while on the move, the sand above it bulges upward, indicating its location. It will then follow up by emerging from the sand, where it will spit sand balls and at the same time be left vulnerable, or burrow deeper into the sand and create a sinkhole to bring Pikmin and leaders down to its mouth, where they are eaten at a considerable rate. Its few basic attacks can be executed in several ways, and become more dangerous as the creature's health dwindles: it may spit arcing [[Earth|sand]] [[boulder]]s that, depending on size and frequency, can bury many Pikmin; at about half-health, it may spiral around the arena, and turn the whole location into a sinkhole; lastly, below half-health, it may abruptly come to a stop and create a sinkhole so steep that it is impossible to escape from. Pikmin that are buried by the creature's sand boulders can be eaten by it, and [[bomb rock]]s held by a Pikmin that is buried will instantly [[Explosion|detonate]]. Leaders that are bitten by the Sandbelching Meerslug will suffer heavy damage. When damaged sufficiently or fed a [[bomb rock]], the meerslug will be forced from the ground and lay still, stunned; after some moments, it burrows back into the ground and resumes its assault.

The '''Sandbelching Meerslug '''is a boss in [[Pikmin 3]] and the third major boss encountered in Story Mode. It is a light brown, amphibian-like creature resembling that of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamprey lamprey eel], with very small eyes, thick purple lips and two rows of large, sharp teeth. Further down its body, it gets wider and harbors spike-like protrusions. It is one of the largeset Pikmin Bosses to date. Upon attempting to dig up the cell phone in the middle of the arena, the Meerslug appears from beneath the sand to attack the [[Captain]]s and the [[Pikmin]]. It tunnels beneath the side, causing waves of sand to appear across the surface which signifies its location. It will try to trap and eat Pikmin by creating a vortex in the sand that sucks in Pikmin. It can also spit balls of sand, which can plant Pikmin. These planted Pikmin can still be eaten by the Meerslug.  
The '''Sandbelching Meerslug''' serves as a miniboss in ''[[Pikmin E: The Next Adventure]]'', fought once in the [[Dusty Dunes]]. It is a species of [[Meerslug family|meerslug]] and behaves identically to its {{p3}} incarnation.

The Sandbelching Meerslug is a light brown eel-like creature resembling a lamprey.

It quickly tunnels under the sand to pursue them, and although it does not show itself while on the move, the sand above it bulges upward, indicating its location. It will then follow up by emerging from the sand, where it will spit sand balls and at the same time be left vulnerable, or burrow deeper into the sand and create a sinkhole to bring Pikmin and leaders down to its mouth, where they are eaten at a considerable rate. Its few basic attacks can be executed in several ways, and become more dangerous as the creature's health dwindles: it may spit arcing sand boulders that, depending on size and frequency, can bury many Pikmin; at about half-health, it may spiral around the arena, and turn the whole location into a sinkhole; lastly, below half-health, it may abruptly come to a stop and create a sinkhole so steep that it is impossible to escape from. Pikmin that are buried by the creature's sand boulders can be eaten by it, and bomb rocks held by a Pikmin that is buried will instantly detonate. Leaders that are bitten by the Sandbelching Meerslug will suffer heavy damage. When damaged sufficiently or fed a bomb rock, the meerslug will be forced from the ground and lay still, stunned; after some moments, it burrows back into the ground and resumes its assault.
