The Freshwater Ribbifin is a boss in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers. It vaguely resembles the Archertongue Ribbifin, but is light blue with green ring patterns on its body. It is much larger, has yellow eyes with blue irises, and has visible fangs. The Freshwater Ribbifin is fought at the end of Rimstone Ridge, within a dried up rimstone dam. When leaders or Pikmin enter its arena, the creature will immediately focus on them and let out a guttural roar.
The Freshwater Ribbifin will attack by charging at Pikmin with its mouth open, chewing and consuming whatever it catches in its mouth. This attack is telegraphed by the beast pawing the ground like a raging bull. If this attack is sidestepped, the Freshwater Ribbifin will slam into the wall and fall on its back, opening it up to attack. When it gets back up, it will spew bubbles from its mouth, which could possibly drift over the pit while Pikmin are trapped inside. At half-health, the Freshwater Ribbifin will add a belly flop attack that can crush Pikmin, and even a rolling attack akin to the Segmented Crawbster's.
When the Freshwater Ribbifin is rematched in Gladiator's Gulch, its rolling attack may cause boulders to fall from the ceiling, strengthening the parallel between the Freshwater Ribbifn and Segmented Crawbster.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “Unlike most members of the ribbifin family, the Freshwater Ribbifin exclusively lives outside of the ocean, only in lakes, streams, and ponds. Due to its lack of predators, the Freshwater Ribbifin is capable of growing to immense sizes. Amazingly so, as you'd expect the benthic organisms to be bigger due to all that extra space. Alongside the size, the Freshwater Ribbifin is also much more outwardly aggressive, and chases after prey with intense vigor.”
Louie's notes
- “Debone this immense morsel and flash-fry it with cilantro. The resulting meat can be used in mouth-watering fish tacos.”
Ship's comments
- “It might look intimidating, but I bet it has insecurities. Of course, it's probably too dumb to be able to comprehend such a concept as insecurity.”
