The '''Medusal Slurker''' is a pink, floating, translucent jellyfish-like enemy with two small serpentine eyes and a single antenna sprouting from its top that resembles a [[Seeding Dandelion]]. It has a green pouch inside its head for storing food. This pouch has an uvula-like appendage hanging from it, which it extends to the ground and expands to trap Pikmin and leaders. The swallowed Pikmin will not die directly from the enemy and will remain inside the Medusal Slurker that captured them until they are freed. The same goes for any captured leaders.
The '''Medusal Slurker''' is a generally passive [[Umbloda family|umbloda]] that floats gently above the ground, occasionally moving about. However, when a [[leader]] or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] approach, the slurker will hover over their current position and drop its uvula-like appendage onto the ground, which expands to capture anything caught in its mucus-like structure. It will then suck them back into its transparent body and keep them for the rest of the day until defeated, thereby freeing captured Pikmin. It can only keep a maximum of fifteen Pikmin in its body, and if it already has that amount it will just fly around without attempting to use its appendage again. It does not eat Pikmin, and can not be weighed down by any thrown onto it. It will also occasionally shuffle about in its flight to indicate its pouch is full. Medusal Slurkers can be found with a variety of items in their pouches, including previously-trapped Pikmin and leaders, [[bomb rock]]s, [[fruit]]s, and more. Although the swallowed Pikmin will not die directly from the enemy, they will be counted as [[sunset]] fatalities if the day ends before they are rescued.

The Medusal Slurker is generally passive, usually minding its own business and floating gently above the ground, occasionally moving. However, when a [[leader]] or Pikmin approach, the Slurker will hover over where they are standing and drop its uvula-like appendage onto the ground, which expands to capture any Pikmin in its mucus-like structure. It will then suck them back into its transparent body and keep them for the rest of the day, unless the creature is defeated which will free the captured Pikmin. Unlike the similar [[Jellyfloat family|Jellyfloat]]s, the Slurker does not digest captured Pikmin. It also can never be grounded by Pikmin and will merely shake off Pikmin when agitated by their attacks. It can only keep a maximum of fifteen Pikmin in its body, and if it already has that amount it will just fly around without attempting to use its appendage again. It will also occasionally shuffle about in its flight to indicate its pouch is full.

The Medusal Slurker is a generally passive umbloda that floats gently above the ground, occasionally moving about. However, when a leader or Pikmin approach, the slurker will hover over their current position and drop its uvula-like appendage onto the ground, which expands to capture anything caught in its mucus-like structure. It will then suck them back into its transparent body and keep them for the rest of the day until defeated, thereby freeing captured Pikmin. It can only keep a maximum of fifteen Pikmin in its body, and if it already has that amount it will just fly around without attempting to use its appendage again. It does not eat Pikmin, and can not be weighed down by any thrown onto it. It will also occasionally shuffle about in its flight to indicate its pouch is full. Medusal Slurkers can be found with a variety of items in their pouches, including previously-trapped Pikmin and leaders, bomb rocks, fruits, and more. Although the swallowed Pikmin will not die directly from the enemy, they will be counted as sunset fatalities if the day ends before they are rescued.
