The '''Medusal Slurker''' ({{j|トロロタラシ|Tororo Tarashi| | The '''Medusal Slurker''' ({{j|トロロタラシ|Tororo Tarashi|Sticky Dripper}}) is an [[enemy]] from ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is a pink, floating, translucent, jellyfish-like enemy with two small serpentine eyes and a single antenna sprouting from its top that resembles a [[Seeding Dandelion]]. It has a green pouch inside its head for storing food. This pouch has an uvula-like appendage hanging from it, which it extends to the ground and expands to trap Pikmin and leaders. It is first fought in the [[Garden of Hope]], and defeating it will free the [[Rock Pikmin]] it had in its body, allowing the player to use them. | ||
Medusal Slurkers can be found with a variety of items in their pouches, including previously-trapped Pikmin, [[bomb rock]]s, [[fruit]]s, and even [[Louie]] in DLC levels for [[Mission Mode]]. The one found in the [[Tropical Wilds]] conceals a [[Juicy Gaggle]]. | Medusal Slurkers can be found with a variety of items in their pouches, including previously-trapped Pikmin, [[bomb rock]]s, [[fruit]]s, and even [[Louie]] in DLC levels for [[Mission Mode]].

|scientific = ''Stauromedusae manifoldii''. It is derived from the real-world species also called "Stauromedusae", or the stalked jellyfish, belonging to the medusozoa subphylum (as mentioned above). Both species have umbrella-like shapes, so it's possible the Medusal Slurker was based off this species. ''Manifoldii'' may be in reference to the "manifold" shape. | |scientific = ''Stauromedusae manifoldii''.
