Waddlepus

The Waddlepus is a semi-aquatic creature that was found on PNF-404 by space ranger Captain Charlie during his expedition.

Description
Amphibious in nature, the Waddlepus can be found both underwater and alongside shallow banks of pools. Although it is able to breathe underwater, it can't swim, instead walking along the shallow pool floor.

The Waddlepus is a purple octopus-like creature with several yellow pores coming out of its back. These pores are used by the Waddlepus to release numerous bubbles as a defense mechanism against predators. These bubbles had also been known to entrap smaller creatures inside, floating the around for a bit before popping. Any creature the size of, or smaller than a Pikmin, are able to be entrapped in these bubbles.

They are otherwise fairly docile, often found resting within the sunshine by their territory.
