The '''Gildemander''' ({{j|タカラサンショウ|Takara Sanshou|Treasure Salamander}}) is an enemy in {{p4}}. It is a brown salamander-like creature with a glowing antenna like an {{w|Anglerfish}}, and many gold stones stuck to its back. It uses the detached gold stones on its back to lure Pikmin so it can gobble them up. | |||

The Gildemander will either wander about or lie and wait until the leader and their Pikmin enter. Once they do, it will begin crawling toward them and will attempt to eat the Pikmin using its large, sticky tongue. Unlike other creatures which typically have a limit to how many Pikmin the creature can eat at once, the Gildemander can eat as many Pikmin as it can catch with a swipe of its tongue, which makes frontal attacks inadvisable due to the possibility of eating most, if not all, of the Pikmin in the player's squad in one fell swoop. When the creature cannot find any leaders or Pikmin, it will look about and then begin wandering again. | The Gildemander will either wander about or lie and wait until the leader and their Pikmin enter.

When the false gold on the creature's back is knocked off by attacking Pikmin, reattaching it will become the Gildemander's main priority. If knocking a piece off exposed one of the weak points on its back, the Gildemander will be stunned for approximately four seconds. When this fake gold is knocked off, any Pikmin in your squad that are not on [[Oatchi]] or [[Moss]], or are not attacking the creature's weak spots will automatically begin to attack the fallen nuggets. This further endangers Pikmin from being eaten by the Gildemander, due to the previously mentioned lack of a cap to its eating capacity. It will pursue the gold one piece at a time and grab it with its tongue, ensnaring all Pikmin currently attacking the gold as well. It will then toss the gold piece onto its back, covering its gemstone-like weak spots and knocking any Pikmin attacking it off. | When the false gold on the creature's back is knocked off by attacking Pikmin, reattaching it will become the Gildemander's main priority.

If many Pikmin are attacking the creature at once, it will shake its body to scatter them. When one of the weak spots on its back shatters, it is briefly stunned. Once all three weak spots are destroyed, the creature is defeated. | If many Pikmin are attacking the creature at once, it will shake its body to scatter them.

The lantern-like organ atop its head emits electromagnetic waves that are known to affect Pikmin and Onions, confusing them into thinking the Gildemander is their leader, allowing it to withdraw Pikmin directly from the Onion. However, it cannot go so far as to command them as a squad, so the Pikmin will often hide under cover and are able to avoid ingestion.|block=y}} | The lantern-like organ atop its head emits electromagnetic waves that are known to affect Pikmin and Onions, confusing them into thinking the Gildemander is their leader, allowing it to withdraw Pikmin directly from the Onion.

The interesting part is, when using a Lightning Shock (which normally disables most animations) and destroying the fake gold while it's stunned, the lantern will dim immediately rather than waiting for the stun to end. | ||
