Jackwig

Jackwig
Jackwigs are part of the mandiblard family. They are well known for their wasp like markings. They eat pikmin and unlike a lot of mandiblards they create nests underground to create colonies. They are also known to have visible nests on white and black gates. They do a great job warding off predators because they carry poisonous stingers to stab creatures, and their bright coloration warns predators to back off. If the predator isn't warded by it's coloration, they pull out their stingers and use it without hesitation. They don't eat bridges but they try to rebuild gates which hold their nests.

Pikmin 4 the world to free
Tike's notes

This odd type of Shearwig doesn't break my bridges. However the Jackwig does something worse. They build nests on gates and not just that. If the gate is broken they just go right ahead and try to rebuild it. Argh! These guys seem to mimic a lot of the coloration of the deadly jacket wasp in our planet. For that reason, I shall call it a Jacketwig, or Jackwig for short, get it? Well anyways, these mandiblards can sting my pikmin with their hideous stingers. I begin to wonder why no enemies tend to roam by their nests. Could they be scared of them? They don't seem to look scary.

Alice's notes

Good thing this armor I have is pretty sturdy. Without it... I would be in a huge mess right now. I don't feel like explaining... (I am quite allergic to wasps). Maybe these aren't wasps, however, I am not risking it for the sake of avoiding the emergency room. They, on the positive note, are quite cute. I have tried to hide so I can see them in their more exciting attitudes. I was very shocked, They tend to be quite protective because they still seem to watch the nest. However I learned that they are very aggressive... the hard way. I found a bulborb walking by and they killed it, in a very cruel way and I will just keep it like that... no more.

Captain pikmin's notes

These pests sure do put up a fight when you disturb their nests. Aiming with caution is recommended. When they start to fly, bash them with a pikmin. However, they are bigger and stronger than shearwigs, so it going to take more than one pikmin to do the trick.
