The '''Gatling Groink''' ({{j|タマコキン|Tama Ko Kin|Bullet Child Goldfish}}) is an enemy in {{p2}}. It is a biomechatronical creature similar in size to an [[Bulborb|adult Bulborb]]. It reminds of a rotund goldfish, including a skin that resembles fish-scales and sports the typical orange and white coloring of goldfish. It further has two slender legs that end in web- or fin-like feet, what appears to be a windshield between its two forward-facing eyes, two upward exhaust pipes, a rotatable fin-like tail, and a mouthplate which covers both its underside and its retractable cannon. The cannon fires mortar rounds and is placed where a fish's mouth would typically be. The origins of the mechanical parts are quite vague, much like the [[Man-at-Legs]] and [[Fireflinger Groink]]. | The '''Gatling Groink''' ({{j|タマコキン|Tama Ko Kin|Bullet Child Goldfish}}) is an enemy in {{p2}}.

Gatling Groinks can usually be seen patrolling caves and are known to seek out the active [[leader]] and his [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. A different variation of the groink is found stationary on top of hard-to-reach towers, giving it a wide attack range, which is especially annoying when they are in possession of a treasure and cannot merely be avoided. There are hence, two behaviors, one for walking around, shooting at short range, one for standing still and shooting enemies below at long range. This is evidenced by the fact that if a tower-standing Gatling Groink is taken down and left to be revived, it will not move from its spot. When roaming a metal-type sublevel, it is entirely possible that the Gatling Groink may walk off into the abyss, most commonly in sublevel 7 of the [[Subterranean Complex]]. | Gatling Groinks can usually be seen patrolling caves and are known to seek out the active [[leader]] and his [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]].
