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, which belongs to the Porcellus genus.
Members[edit]
Bearded Amprat[edit]
- 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, rodent 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, rodent tail.
Naming[edit]
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 derived from the scientific name for guinea pigs, Cavia porcellus, which the Bearded Amprat is similar to.
