Glacial Helmuck

The Glacial Helmuck's shell is small, but its gelatinous body can stretch across a wide radius. This creature moves around with its shell enshrouded in icy cold gas, occasionally oozing its body outwards to freeze the ground underneath, making it slippery. It then retracts itself back into its shell. The ground will remain frozen for a decent amount of time and will often make Pikmin slide right into the Helmuck's icy shell, freezing them and allowing the creature to stretch out again and absorb them into its body. To safely attack the creature, wait until its body extends outwards, as the cold air surrounding its shell temporarily fades while doing this. Once this happens, throw Pikmin onto its body while avoiding the slippery ground.
