Behavior

The Crested Mockiwi is similar to the standard Mockiwi, but has more health and is faster. It also has a unique attack, where it roars and charges towards the player and Pikmin.

Locations

Strategy

The Crested Mockiwi is a tad harder to defeat than its counterpart. A simple Pikmin on its back won't do the trick. Aim for its signature crest instead; this will give the same effect as throwing a Pikmin onto the back of a normal Mockiwi, allowing you to bombard it anywhere without worrying about it retaliating. Though it will eventually shake off the Pikmin, requiring a new one to be thrown. If it charges, a Pikmin throw to its head will halt it.

Notes

Hey! Pikmin logs

It's similar to a regular Mockiwi in many ways. I can't see any purpose for the crest beyond a distinctive look. Then again, nobody knows what the company president's hair is for either. Maybe that's why he has less and less of it every year.

Naming

See more: Mockiwi family#Naming.

The "Crested" refers to the large crest on its upper body, which the normal Mockiwi does not have.

Its scientific name is Pseudoactinidia pomadus. Pomadus is similar to "pomades", an oil used for hair. This could be in reference to how its crest resembles hair.

Its internal name is supermakky. Its generator name is super_macky.
