Shearwig: Difference between revisions

'''Shearwigs''' ({{j|トビンコ|Tobinko|Flying Parakeet}}) are enemies in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. The females of this species are never seen, as, according to [[Olimar's notes]], they spend nearly their entire life underground, somewhat similar to cicadas. They also do not possess the male's wings. The males have a dark green shell, sporting simple wings and large, sickle-shaped mandibles. They are slightly more aggressive than [[Male Sheargrub]]s, and take leave off the ground to hover up high after having lost at least half of their [[health]] to allow it to steadily return. While up in the air, these creatures are still within the reach of a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] [[throw]], of which just one accurate button-press is enough to kill one.
