Ambusher Granka

The Ambusher Granka hangs from stalactites by its long tail, dangling motionlessly in the dark. When Pikmin walk nearby, it suddenly lights up and starts swinging its large head around as it tries to burn the Pikmin with the trail of fire it leaves behind; Pikmin will have a hard time keeping their grip on the creature while it is in motion. It will eventually stop swinging to rest, and may simply lurch forward at Pikmin that draw too close, chomping down up to three Pikmin at a time. Red Pikmin are recommended to fight Ambusher Grankas because of their fire immunity, but they are not necessary. Simply attack this enemy by throwing Pikmin at it from a safe distance while it is resting. When killed, it falls from its perch and coils up into a pile for easy carrying.
