Attacks Crushes Pikmin, creates shockwaves

The Bullywog is a boss in Pikmin: Ultimate Doom that only appears on sublevel seven of the Aquatic Nest. The Bullywog's skin is colored light brown, its eyes are yellow, and it has two blue stripes on each side of its body with a bulbous, red mass on its back. It has four fingers on each hand and two toes on each foot. Its hind legs are shorter than its arms. It is very stocky for an amphituber, and one of its adaptations includes a tough clay-like skin that only a heavy attack can penetrate. After roughly ten seconds, the skin regrows in the exposed areas. It also can leap into the air, much like most amphitubers, except its leap is much shorter and it releases a shockwave upon hitting the ground. The Bullywog's name is a portmanteau of the words "bully" and "Wollywog".

When this creature catches sight of Pikmin, it will charge to an attack. It hops quickly and eventually leaps into the air, sending a shockwave after the fall. If it lands on sand, it will send a shockwave of it that will kill all but Tan Pikmin; if it lands on water, it will send a wave of water to the edge of the body if close enough, drowning all but Blue Pikmin; if it lands on rock, it sends a shockwave that launches all but Purple Pikmin away, scattering them around and exposing them to any hazard in the Bullywog's arena. After the initial leap attack, it will try to grab Pikmin and slam them into the ground, killing them, and then repeats its attack cycle.

Disarm every threat in the surrounding area so that the Bullywog's ground pound on rock doesn't send an unfortunate group of Pikmin to a hazard. Avoid its attacks and their aftereffects. Pikmin that the Bullywog grabs can be saved by attacking the creature. Only Purple Pikmin can break through the Bullywog's tough hide, but any Pikmin type can damage the soft tissue underneath until the hide regenerates.

Notes

Olimar's notes

The Bullywog is a particular specimen I encountered in the Aquatic Nest. It has brute strength and is easily enraged by the sight of my Pikmin squad. Interesting, because it pays no attention to Louie or myself. Such hatred for Pikmin alone needs to be further researched...

Louie's notes

Marinade in hot sauce and cook for twelve hours. Then the skin will taste and look like a soft taco shell!
