The Gildemandwee is an enemy in Pikmin 4. It is a salamander-like creature that has an angler on its head to see in the dark. It has a weak spot on its back, so it uses a gold-colored rock to keep it covered. It has tiny black eyes, brown skin, and short stubby legs.
Notes[]
Dalmo's Notes[]
"With one little gold-colored stone on its back, it toddles about, lantern flickering cheerfully. It doesn’t intentionally deceive Pikmin or our sensors. They just respond to that gold-colored stone. Only the adults tend to be intentionally deceptive, in this world or any other."
Olimar's Notes[]
"Immediately after hatching, this species presents itself in a gilled, tadpole-like form and grows its legs after about a week.
This juvenile Gildemander specimen is estimated to be about one month old due to the presence of an ore-like growth on its back and the fact that it has already emerged onto land.
The living ore has substances similar to treasure within it, a peculiar scent, and has an effect on both sensors and Pikmin. However, the lantern organ on its head is still underdeveloped and can only emit very faint electromagnetic waves. For this reason, juvenile Gildemanders often hide out of sight to avoid Pikmin attacks."
Louie's Notes[]
"Heat the golden crystals on its back until they melt into a caramel sauce. Flip the creature upside down, and bake until the skin develops a crunchy, candied crust."
Battle strategy[]
Rush with Oatchi to knock off the gold piece.
