Equine Culinid

Equine Culinid

The Equine Culinid is a large mosquito-like creature that uses its haustellum to suck up nectar, potions, and pikmin, as it does so, it will progressively fill up its abdomen. Eventually it will gorge itself so much it can no-longer fly and must then gallop or trot. Sometimes, the Equine Culinid will walk onto the water and lay an egg raft that after one dot on the timer passes, will hatch into Equine Larvae. The Equine Culinid will suck out the nectar of any eggs it passes by and will replace it with 4-5 Ujadani or may leave it empty. The abdomen and the eyes are the only parts soft enough to be attacked by pikmin, the rest is covered in a hard shell similar to the Armored Cannon Beetle.
