The '''Fireflinger Groink''' ({{j|ヤキダマコキン|Yaki Dama Ko Kin|Sizzling [[Gatling Groink|Bullet Child Goldfish]]}}) is an enemy found in {{hp}}. It's a fish-like organism with some robotic parts, and is about three times as large as Olimar. It looks very similar to the [[Gatling Groink]], although it is red with yellow stripes and has less robotic elements, and has glass on its front robotic legs. It repeatedly spits large fireballs from the background by extending a mouth-like turret, and when a fireball hits, it can kill [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and damage [[Olimar]]. It is fairly rare, only appearing in two [[area]]s. | The '''Fireflinger Groink''' ({{j|ヤキダマコキン|Yaki Dama Ko Kin|Sizzling [[Gatling Groink|Bullet Child Goldfish]]}}) is an enemy found in {{hp}}.

|common = Fireflinger Groink. Fireflinger is a simple reference to what it does: flinging fireballs. The term ''Groink'' seems entirely made up; it is possible to extract the onomatopoeia for pig grunts, "oink", thus contracting "grunt" and "oink" to "Groink". | |common = Fireflinger Groink.
