The '''Bearded Amprat''' ({{j|ビリー|Birī|Billy}}) is a rodent-like | The '''Bearded Amprat''' ({{j|ビリー|Birī|Billy}}) is a rodent-like creature in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It resembles a small white guinea pig with large brown spots on its face and back. Their head is rounded with small eyes in the front and no apparent ears. As their name implies, their faces are 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. | ||

{{transcript|When a Bearded Amprat feels threatened, it rubs its face to build up a static charge. When the Bearded Amprat releases the charge, its whiskers lift up, exposing its sharp teeth. While its teeth are exposed, this enemy uses its front paws to feed nearby Pikmin into its mouth. | |||
When you attack a Bearded Amprat, use Yellow Pikmin to overcome the electrical charge. If you're not able to defeat the creature before it releases the charge, call your Pikmin away before they're eaten. Whenever possible, flank the creature to attack from the rear.}} | |||

Electricity generation is a useful trait in an animal! I'm not sure if this one can be domesticated, but think of all the useful applications if it could. At the very least, we could study it to see if we could reproduce the trick.}} | |||

=== ''' | ===Charlie's Notes=== | ||
{{transcript|It looks cute and fuzzy, and that's how it springs its trap. Throw a few Pikmin on thinking its easy prey, and it'll zap the life out of them. The best strategy is to take a squad of Yellow Pikmin. Then it's you who'll get the last laugh.}} | |||

{{transcript|Pan roast the thighs with sprigs of rosemary and whole garlic cloves. Finish with a squeeze of fruit juice to highlight the subtle notes of the lingering electricity.}} | |||
=== | ===Olimar's Notes=== | ||
{{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 then aggressive, attacking only when threatened rather than to hunt prey. It has several qualities unique to this ecosystem, such as producing milk for its young, which may someday give rise to a whole new taxonomy of fauna.}} | |||
== | ==Behavior== | ||
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. | [[Red Pikmin]] and [[Rock Pikmin]] may also be used to defeat the Amprat efficiently, but with a greater risk.

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. Its Japanese name is simply {{j|ビリー|Birī}}, which translates to "Billy" – one possibility is that this is referring to the {{w|Billy (dog)|billy dog breed}}, but it may also be derived from "ビリビリ" (''biri-biri''), an onomatopoeia often used in Japanese to describe the sound of electricity. Its internal name, <code>billy</code>, matches its Japanese name. | |||
