Members[edit]
Waddlequaff[edit]
- Main article: Waddlequaff.
Scientific name: Sluppus gourdicus
The Waddlequaff is bird-like enemy first found in the Blossoming Arcadia in Pikmin 4. They have a cream feathered body with two wings of the same color, and a long pink beak which is always open. Waddlequaffs use their beak to suck in objects and prey and must be defeated to retrieve that which has been swallowed.
Naming[edit]
The family's name, gourdfeather, is a combination of two words, gourd and feather. The word gourd is in relation to the shape of the Waddlequaff's body as it look very similar to that of the shape of some gourds. The word feather is evidently pointing towards the fact that it is a bird and has feathers covering its body.
The family's genus, Sluppus, contains slup, which most likely came from the word slurp. Slurp means 'to sip or swallow greedily and noisily', which could be in relation to the way the Waddlequaff sucks up items and swallows them.
