Darkfreeze Groink

PS undefined

The Darkfreeze Groink is the second-to-last boss in PikSpore's normal story, fought a few sublevels before the final boss. This monster takes the standard Groink design and reconstructs into a tank-like form, with the head surrounded by a ring of armor, trundling about on a pair of heavy-duty treads. This setup allows it to crush Pikmin just by moving over them.

The Darkfreeze Groink has traded its explosive mortars for homing missiles, launched out of the beast's mouth, three in a row every few seconds. These missiles are dangerous, but slow-moving, and can be used to your advantage, for you see, the boss is impervious to standard attacks (initially) and must have its armor shattered by the explosive impact of these homing missiles in order for you to deal some damage. Its shield can be regrown, however, so make your move as soon as possible!

Lastly, it can also freeze your Pikmin. By making a sharp U-turn around, it will kick up a flurry of ice from the frozen floor onto your squad.

Like most of the minibosses, it does not hold an upgrade treasure.
