This article is about the top half of a shell. For the bottom half, see Memorial Shell.

The Scrumptious Shell (ウマイガイ^?, lit.: "Delicious Scallop") is a treasure found in Pikmin 2. The Scrumptious Shell is actually the top half of a scallop shell. It is located in the third sublevel of the Shower Room. It can either be found on a ledge or in water. While the shell is being retrieved, Wollywogs, Hermit Crawmads, Water Dumples, Lesser, and Greater Spotted Jellyfloats will attack the Pikmin retrieving the Scrumptious Shell. It likely forms the counterpiece to the Memorial Shell. Nameless scallop shells also appear in the stage Forgotten Cove in Pikmin 3, but are just for scenery.

Notes

Olimar's journal

“I've encountered all kinds of grotesque, inedible creatures on this strange planet. However, there's an area in the Perplexing Pool region that's chock-full of tasty critters.”

Sales pitch

“This flavorful item's texture is most agreeable to any life-form... Or so my data suggests. Do statements like these, from a machine without taste buds, strike you as odd?”
