The '''Armored Mawdad''' ({{j|ヨロヒイモムカデ| | The '''Armored Mawdad''' ({{j|ヨロヒイモムカデ|Yorohī mo Mukade|Armored Caterpillar Centipede}}; known in Europe as '''Armoured Mawdad''') is the first boss in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and the boss of the [[Garden of Hope]]. It is a massive, centipede-like beast with a multitude of small gecko-like legs, a large head, yellow eyes, a bluish-green underbelly, a gaping mouth, and large curved mandibles. The boss crawls about, trying to dodge the player's attacks, and is able to climb up the sides of walls as a means of fleeing. Upon death, it spits out the [[Data Glutton]] and the [[Firebreathing Feast]]. The Firebreathing Feast provides the leaders with two and a half bottles of juice, and the Data Glutton unlocks the next area, the [[Distant Tundra]]. | ||

==Naming== | |||
{{needs translation}} | |||
The word "Mawdad" could be made up, but it could also be a combination between "maw", meaning "jaw", and "{{w|crawdad}}". Due to localization, in Europe and Oceania, the word "Armored" is spelled as "Armoured". In Japan, this boss is known as {{j|ヨロヒイモムカデ|Yorohī mo Mukade}}, which is made up of the words {{j|鎧|Yorohī|Armor|f=tp}} and {{j|百足|Mukade|Centipede|f=tp}}, but with the word {{j|芋虫|Imomushi|Caterpillar|f=tp}} in the middle, such that only the {{j| も|mo}} part remains. Internally, this enemy is called <code>daiohmukade</code>, which is made up of the unknown <code>daioh</code> and <code>mukade</code>, meaning {{j|百足|mukade|centipede|f=tp}}. | |||
