The '''Bearded Amprat''' ({{j|ビリー|Birī|Billy}}) is a rodent-like [[enemy]] in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. It attacks Pikmin by generating [[electricity]], stunning all Pikmin attacking it (except [[Yellow Pikmin]]), and then eating them. It resembles a small white guinea pig with large brown spots on its face and back. Its head is rounded with small eyes in the front and no apparent ears. As its name implies, its face is draped in large amounts of long, straight hair which gives their face a slight resemblance to a skull. It has four small, mouse-like feet which it uses to move around and to grab prey. Unlike the rest of its body, the feet are green with brown tips on the toes, which lack claws. Its body ends in a few small brown spots and a skinny, mouse-like tail.

==Notes==
Normally, the creature passively walks around its territory. When [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or a [[leader]] come close, however, it will begin to rapidly rub its beard, generating [[electricity]], which causes its hair to flare up and reveal its true face as it charges to try and grab Pikmin and eat them. This hair spikes up when they are attacked and electricity will begin to pulse through their entire body to harm all non-[[Yellow Pikmin]]. After a short period of being on the attack, or after the player leaves the creature alone, the Amprat will return to its neutral, harmless state of wandering around.

[[Red Pikmin]] and [[Rock Pikmin]] may also be used to defeat the Amprat efficiently, but with a greater risk. While the creature is roaming about, swarm it with at least 12 Red and Rock Pikmin to defeat it before it can react. If the creature does manage to charge up its electrical attack, then you should immediately call back all Pikmin, and move a considerable distance from it, or use nearby [[clover|plants]] to [[hide]] in. The Amprat should calm down quickly, providing a second chance to attack and defeat it.

=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{Transcript|The hair covering its face works as a capacitor. It charges electricity by rubbing the hair to build static, then discharges it at enemies intruding on its territory. It's more territorial than aggressive, attacking only when threatened rather than to hunt prey.
It has several qualities unique to this ecosystem, such as breastfeeding its young, which may someday give rise to a whole new taxonomy of fauna here.|block=y}}

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
A kind of rodent that generates static electricity by rubbing its whiskers. It is a very unusual mammal and is expected to be studied in the future as a singularity in evolutionary taxonomy.
Feature #1: Generating electricity
:It rubs its long whiskers, which have high electrical storage capacity, to collect and discharge static electricity.
:(Image text:
:*"It rubs repeatedly"
:*"It has two incisors that continuously grow in the upper and lower jaws, and no canines")
Feature #2: Maintaining a constant body temperature
:Its entire body is covered with fur, maintaining a constant body temperature, and it uses its abdomen and tail, which are thinly furred, to regulate its body temperature. It produces milk for its young, an unusual trait.

{{naming
|common    = Bearded Amprat. The word "Bearded" refers to its long beard-like hairs on its face, and "Amprat" is a portmanteau of "{{w|Ampere|Amp}}", a measurement unit of electricity, and "{{w|rat}}", a type of real-life rodent which it resembles.
|scientific = ''Porcellus barbavolta''. ''Porcellus'' is the second word in the species name for guinea pigs, which the Bearded Amprat is similar to. ''Barba'' is Latin for "beard", while ''volta'' is derived from "{{w|Volt}}", a unit of electric potential.

|jpname    = {{j|テンジクシビレネズミ|Tenjiku Shibire Nezumi}}. {{j|シビレ|Shibire}} means "numbness", referring to its ability to paralyze Pikmin, while {{j|テンジクネズミ|Tenjiku Nezumi}} means "{{w|guinea pig}}".
