The Terrordactyl is a boss in Pikmin: The After Years that is first encountered on Lost Land's final sublevel, and later refought in Remembrance Ravine. It has purple, scaly skin, yellow eyes, claws on its fingers and toes, wings with blue membranes, and an elongated mouth full of sharp teeth. Despite having claws and teeth that would give it a definite edge in combat, it prefers to attack Pikmin and leaders from the air by dropping boulders, occasionally bomb rocks, and rarely giant bomb rocks onto them rather than eating them. The boulders the Terrordactyl drops crumble into small, but still dangerous, rocks upon hitting the ground and roll about the cave until they break, either over time or when punched by Olimar or his wife; the bomb rocks simply begin their countdown sequence and eventually explode as normal. The only way to reach the Terrordactyl is through the use of a pikapult, by throwing Pikmin onto the black spoon and then flinging them at the beast by throwing a Purple Pikmin onto the opposite end. When enough Pikmin are on the Terrordactyl, it will crashland and be helpless until it shakes them off and takes to the skies again. Once the Terrordactyl dies, its body can be taken to an Onion for fifty seeds.
The Terrordactyl also has a dark matter-infused variant, which is known as the "Dark Terrordactyl". The Dark Terrordactyl appears only in the Galactic Warpzone, the final cave, and it is a much stronger version of the Terrordactyl that has much more health, faster and deadlier attacks, and the ability to use a new, unique attack in addition to its existing ones.
