The '''Gildemandwee''' ({{j|ザコサンショウ|Zako Sanshou|Small-Fry Salamander}}) is an [[enemy]] in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It is a brown salamander-like creature with a glowing antenna like an {{w|anglerfish}}, and a gold stone stuck to its back. It is the juvenile form of the [[Gildemander]] and can sometimes be found in [[nectar egg]]s.

If a Gildemandwee is active in the area or sublevel, the [[Treasure Gauge]] will act as if there is treasure remaining, even if the area or sublevel is 100% cleared. This even goes as far as the game warning the player that they have not collected all treasures on the current sublevel, should a Gildemandwee still be alive after collecting all treasures when attempting to leave the current sublevel.  

Gildemandwees have brown bodies, white belly, black beady eyes and stubby limbs. They somewhat resemble real-world salamanders. On its forehead is a dangling lantern, similar to an anglerfish, with a pulsing yellow light. On its back is a gold-colored stone that the Gildemandwee uses to protect the weak spot underneath the stone. If exposed, the weak spot is a red lump that shatters upon defeat. If the gold stone is destroyed whilst the Gildemandwee is still alive, the lantern turns off.

Gildemandwees are actually the baby forms of Gildemanders, although unlike their adult counterparts, they only have one gold chunk and can't effectively use their antennas to control Pikmin.

The Gildemandwee has only one weak spot on his back, which is the only spot that is capable of taking damage. This spot is protected by a false gold nugget that has to be picked off before attacking. This can be accomplished by throwing Pikmin at it, in which case [[Purple Pikmin]] are the best option due to their high impact damage and ability to latch on, but it is preferable to use [[Oatchi]]'s [[rush]] attack, since the trajectory of the attack allows Pikmin to latch onto the weak spot once the nugget is removed. Care must be taken to manage your squad, if any Pikmin are attacking the nugget when the Gildemandwee retrieves it, they will perish.

{{transcript|Immediately after hatching, this species presents itself in a gilled, tadpole-like form and grows its legs after about a week.

This juvenile Gildemander specimen is estimated to be about one month old due to the presence of an ore-like growth on its back and the fact that it has already emerged onto land.

The living ore has substances similar to treasure within it, a peculiar scent, and has an effect on both sensors and Pikmin. However, the lantern organ on its head is still undeveloped and can only emit very faint electromagnetic waves. For this reason, juvenile Gildemanders often hide out of sight to avoid Pikmin attacks.|block=y}}

{{transcript|Heat the golden crystals on its back until they melt into a caramel sauce. Flip the creature upside down, and bake until the skin develops a crunchy, candied crust.|block=y}}
