| abstract | - Is a very large pterosaur-like enemy from Pikmin: New World. It has an enormous upturned beak with several small peg-like teeth at the end. The beak has a toucan-like series of rainbow-coloured stripes at its tip. and is completely orange otherwise. It has a comparatively small vulture-like head with tiny yellow eyes and pink skin. It also has a small, beat-red crest on the end of its head. It has a vaguely heart-shaped pale-yellow mane of feathers around its neck and a round, black body with two long yellow legs with clawed feet and two massive wing that are easily double the size of its tiny body. The wings are connected to the legs by a membrane of skin and blue and scarlet red stipes connect the arms with its feet. There are three clawed fingers on its wings and an extra-long, fourth finger that supports the rest of its wings. It also has a long, stiff tail that sticks out directly behind it and has a large tip resembling the spade on a playing card. It also has a dark magenta tongue in its mouth. It can be a very difficult fight, as this creature never goes on the ground and is often hiding in the darkness or out of view of the player. When it swoops down and into view it will cause all of the pikmin to panic and begin to run away from it. It will begin to chase the pikmin around often into walls, corners or dead ends. It then opens up its oversized beak and pinches all of the pikmin in between its tweezer-like ends and then swallows them whole. It can get up to six pikmin at a time this way, and it can attack in rapid succession. However, the player can whistle on the pikmin so that they go out of their state of panic. Once there are no more panicking pikmin to pick off, or any pikmin that haven't already ran away, the creature will return to its normal flight pattern. When it is killed it will automatically jump up into the air with one of its wing on fire. This will cause it to fly around in a spiral leaving behind a smoke trail until it hits a solid surface and then explode, leaving three pellets and possibly some cargo behind.
