Notes

Amphituber family
Amphicaris trilobitins

Yoshord
All amphitubers are filter-feeders, who tend to squish things because the paste is able to be consumed while a whole organism is not. The only exception is the Adhesive Wollywog, which lacks any drive to squish prey, and instead has a tongue. A toungue that looks like it came straight out of an Emperor Bulblax's mouth. Even though I stopped questening the overcommon convergent evolution, this is quite a change with no buildup, and its only purpose seems to be a challenge to explorers. I suspect that this species may have been genetically modified. But given how fast evolution occurs here, it is hard to be certain.

Behavior

Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator
It has much more sophisticated jumping abilities compared to other amphitubers, capable of springing forwards quickly to flatten Pikmin. However, it prefers to actually eat Pikmin rather than just hop on anything that wanders into its territory. After all, this amphituber is a first-class predator. With its long and sticky tongue (perhaps hinting at an ancient connection between amphitubers and a certain member of the grub-dog family) it can snap up Pikmin like a Cloaking Burrow-Nit's point... except the Adhesive Wollywog's tongue can eat several at a time. How could one expect to deal with a dangerous foe like this without suffering casualties? Once you discover Black Pikmin, you'll see that its adhesive tongue has no effect on them other than knocking them down for an instant. Then you can fight it without worrying about it eating your Pikmin!

Strategy to defeat

Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator
Since it can't harm black pikmin, those are obviously the pikmin of choice when fighting it. It could jump, but it is not likly to. It also can be killed in a single hit if it ingests a bomb rock!
