Miner Kroopus

The Miner Kroopus is an enemy that appears in Pikmin: Shadows of the Future. It greatly resembles its close relative, the Viridian Kroopus in appearance, but is steel-blue in color, has hooked tentacles and has a drill on its head instead of a flower. It can be found either buried in the ground or clinging to the sides of mountains with its tentacles, where it will emerge/jump down when approached. It will then jump into the air and blast itself toward your Pikmin. This makes it a rather dangerous, difficult to deal with creature.

When defeated, it makes a comical honking noise and falls to the floor. Be careful, as this creature can revive itself after being defeated.
