The Sandbelching Meerslug is a boss in {{p3}} and the third major boss encountered in [[Story Mode]]. It is a light brown amphibian-like creature resembling a lamprey, with very small eyes, thick purple lips and two rows of large sharp teeth. Further down its body, it gets wider and harbors spike-like protrusions. It is one of the largest ''Pikmin'' bosses to date. | The Sandbelching Meerslug is a boss in {{p3}} and the third major boss encountered in [[Story Mode]].
