Behavior

The Crested Mockiwi is similar to the standard Mockiwi, but has more health and is faster. It also has a unique attack, where it roars and charges towards the player and Pikmin. Unlike the Mockiwi, it also is capable of shaking off Pikmin, and can eat Pikmin thrown too close to its mouth.

Strategy

The Crested Mockiwi is a tad harder to defeat than its counterpart. A simple Pikmin on its back won't do the trick. Aim for its signature crest instead; this will give the same effect as throwing a Pikmin onto the back of a normal Mockiwi, allowing you to bombard it anywhere without worrying about it retaliating. Though it will eventually shake off the Pikmin, requiring a new one to be thrown. If it charges, a Pikmin throw to its head will halt it. Be careful when throwing - this variant is able to eat Pikmin that are thrown too close to its mouth, causing an instant death and making it invulnerable for a few seconds.

Notes

Hey! Pikmin logs

“It's similar to a regular Mockiwi in many ways. I can't see any purpose for the crest beyond a distinctive look. Then again, nobody knows what the company president's hair is for either. Maybe that's why he has less and less of it every year.”
