Attacks Drowns Pikmin

The Shingleshell Turrusk is an enemy in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers. This gastropod is creamy yellow, with lighter splotches around its body. Its two feelers are tipped with green, and its brown, ribbed shell has numerous holes in it, revealing orifices on its skin. The overall design is meant to resemble Leonardo's fighting vehicle.

This creature slowly creeps along the ground, moving about in a small area. From its orifices, it spews globs of water at random intervals, usually without provocation. As it is attacked, be it with Pikmin or leaders, it will become frustrated and spew a flurry of water balls. Blue Pikmin, being immune to water, are ultimately the most viable option for this. When defeated, it shrivels into its shell as its flesh turns a drab gray.

Notes

Olimar's notes

The name of the Shingleshell Turrusk comes from its shell, shaped like some roof shingles on Hocotate. This unique gastropod defends itself by expelling runny mucus from numerous pores in its skin. The mucus can cause irritation and burning in some creatures, especially if it gets into the eyes, but it asphyxiates Pikmin due to its near water-like composition.

Louie's Notes

The acrid and inflammatory mucus in this shelled mollusk prevents it from being even close to the next escargot, but its intricate shell would make for a great party bowl for your next big gala, provided you clean it thoroughly. Also looks promising for use as a chandelier in an intergalactic seafood restaurant, but I'm no interior designer, so I might need help on that.
