Gatling Groink

The Gatling Groink is an enemy from Pikmin 2. It is one of the series most bizarre creatures, as it appears to be some kind of fish/chicken/tank that wanders an area, blasting away intruders or standing on top of some high area acting as a turret. It is very dangerous to Pikmin and is a powerful enemy, so no matter how strange it looks it should be taken seriously. If you can use an Ultra-Bitter Spray against it, this would be the best choice. This will give you the chance to destroy it from behind, which is the weakpoint as the head is completely shielded. Groinks that are defeated normally will begin to slowly regain their health after they are knocked out, making it imperative that they are stowed in a ship or onion before they can wreak havoc once more.
