Gunklaw

The Gunklaw is a bagworm-like enemy that appears in the Kingdom of Thorns, appearing in small groups hanging from branches outside the tree, or beneath outcroppings within the sub-area. It drops down when approached and doesn't do much besides block the path of Pikmin and leaders, but when attacked, it will shake around to scatter electric spores which linger around for a bit and stun Pikmin. It may also charge up static electricity and swing into nearby Pikmin to knock them over. The Gunklaw is mostly a nuisance, but when close to other enemies, it can be a bit more of a pain to deal with. Often, it's not worth it to fight these, but sometimes it is necessary to clear up paths that they are obstructing.
