The Dynamo Groink is an electrically-charged groink appearing in Pikmin: Elemental Speciation. Its exterior is covered with various twisting cables embedded in its skin, and its glassy facial shield crackles with electricity randomly. This variant of the Gatling Groink shoots three arcing projectiles that generate an arc of electricity between them when they land, acting as a dangerous trap that electrocutes Pikmin that cross it. These electrical arcs persist for two seconds before they disappear and their source breaks. This type of groink also electrocutes Pikmin that touch its facial shield, and, like other shot-fish, can also revive itself after defeat.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “Originally thought to be a malfunctioning specimen, it is in fact a genetically distinct groink species. It is theorized that it could have evolved from a malfunction in its mechanical parts causing parts of its body to be electrified. It has developed magnetically charged ammunition that can create a jumping point for latent electricity in the ground put out by the groink itself. This makes them much stronger in numbers.”
Louie's notes
- “The preparation for these creatures is very intensive, but I promise it is worth it. First, remove the limbs, facial shield, and other mechanical parts. Then, heat in a steam oven until tender. It will then be safe to remove the wiring. Cut slightly below where the shield used to be, and you should find its wiring. Then cut along its side until you've exposed enough to grab ahold of it. One sharp tug should get all the wires out, and conveniently dices the meat into perfect pieces for a sandwich.”
Shacho's notes
- “These biomechanical beings are such a curiosity. They are more efficient in most things than our best machinery, even in power generation. I've never seen these things eat, so how do they make their power? Or do they get it from some central generator hidden somewhere? I must find out...”
