The Terrordactyl is the boss of the Lost Land. It has a purple body, blue wings, and yellow eyes. Even though it has sharp teeth, it prefers to drop boulders and bomb-rocks on Pikmin instead of eating them.
Strategy
This beast flies very high up in the air and it never comes down. The boulders it drops will shatter upon hitting the ground and become smaller, but still harmful, stones that will roll around the cave until they break. Olimar and his wife can punch the stones to destroy them. The Terrordactyl will occasionally drop bomb-rocks onto its foes. Sometimes it will drop a giant bomb-rock which has twice the range of a normal bomb-rock. The only way to reach the Terrordactyl is by utilizing the Pikapult. To use it, throw a non-Purple Pikmin onto one end of the catapult, then throwing any Pikmin onto the other end of the device and making the former Pikmin soar. 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.
Trivia
- The Terrordactyl is a pun on the words '"terror" and "pteradactyl".
