Attacks Eats Pikmin

The Vinegulpus is a large blob-shaped mollusking in Pikmin X: Deep Freeze that, true to its name, parasitically feeds on zipline vines by attaching itself to the plant's base. Pikmin and leaders are unable to climb the vine and use it for transport when a Vinegulpus is in the way, so it must be defeated to revive the plant and allow it to be used. Though a Vinegulpus is incapable of moving from its feeding position, it has a sticky tongue that it waves around when it senses Pikmin approaching, which it uses to slurp them up and eat them. Simply wait for it to rest and retract its tongue to make an attack. When defeated, it simply melts away and leaves no collectible remains.
