Notes

Dalmo's Notes

“Notice the gold sparkles on its back. In order to survive, this delight of a creature spends a mind-boggling amount of time collecting those special gold stones. Though it isn't real gold, it can confuse the sensors. That's another marvel of the natural world for you.”

Olimar's Notes

“The ore-like growth on its back is a coagulated bodily fluid that includes a substance similar to sparklium, which can make our mechanical sensors "go berserk," to use the technical term. This living ore emits a scent that lures the creatures' prey, so it's also important for their feeding process.

The lantern-like organ atop its head emits electromagnetic waves that are known to affect Pikmin and Onions, confusing them into thinking the Gildemander is their leader, allowing it to withdraw Pikmin directly from the Onion. However, it cannot go so far as to command them as a squad, so the Pikmin will often hide under cover and are able to avoid ingestion.”

Louie's Notes

“The meat gives off a faint aroma similar to a hot pepper. The flavor itself is subtle and elegant. Chargrill the lantern until blackened, and you've got a nutritional superfood.”
