The Bearded Amprat resembles a small white guinea pig with large brown spots on its face and back. Their head is rounded with small eyes in the front and no apparent ears. As their name implies, their faces are draped in large amounts of long, straight hair which give their face a slight resemblance to a skull. It has four, small, mouse-like feet which it uses to move around and to grab prey. Unlike the rest of its body, the feet are green with brown tips on the toes, which lack claws. Its body ends in a few small brown spots and a skinny, mouse-like tail. | The Bearded Amprat resembles a small white guinea pig with large brown spots on its face and back.

The numbouse family is a family of rodent-like creatures introduced in Pikmin 3, although the family went unclassified until Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Members are known for their electric powers they use for defense. It contains only one member, the Bearded Amprat. Members belong to the Porcellus genus.

Bearded Amprat
- Main article: Bearded Amprat.
Scientific name: Porcellus barbavolta
The Bearded Amprat resembles a small white guinea pig with large brown spots on its face and back. Their head is rounded with small eyes in the front and no apparent ears. As their name implies, their faces are draped in large amounts of long, straight hair which give their face a slight resemblance to a skull. It has four, small, mouse-like feet which it uses to move around and to grab prey. Unlike the rest of its body, the feet are green with brown tips on the toes, which lack claws. Its body ends in a few small brown spots and a skinny, mouse-like tail.
Naming
The family name Numbouse is derived from the word "numb", from their ability to paralyze Pikmin, and "mouse", from their rodent-like appearance.
The genus Porcellus is the second word in the guinea pig's scientific name, which the Bearded Amprat is similar to.
