Profile[]
Physical description[]
Pelicrumps have purple feathers, black eyes with golden pupils, and golden beaks and feet.
Behaviour[]
In the field, Pelicrumps are often seen stationary from a distance in the field, but when approached, they fly towards the Bros. and attempt to ram them in order to start combat.
Combat[]
Pelicrumps all attack on the same turn, and have three attacks.
During one of their attacks, Pelicrumps can grab eggs and then perform bombing runs with them. However, only some of the Pelicrumps will get an egg, and the Bros. will have to use their hammers to send the eggs back. Failure to block the attack, aside from obviously causing damage, may result in getting stunned. Another attack has the Pelicrumps attempt to sneak bombs over. The Bros. must use their hammers to send any bombs dropped at their feet away; if a Pelicrump is still mid-delivery, it will hold the bomb behind its back if the Bros. raise their hammers. The last attack is a chase sequence where the Bros. book it south as the Pelicrumps haul a massive statue of the Zeekeeper. The Bros. must jump on the logs they encounter, lest they get smashed under the statue.
The Pelicrump is a Level 28 monster that has a hit point maximum of 109, an attack power of 152, a defense of 156, and a speed of 86. When slain, it gives 50 experience points and drops 10 coins, and may drop an Ultra Candy 1% of the time.
Nomenclature[]
In Japanese, Pelicrumps are called Karipen (written かりぺん in Hiragana and カリペン in Katakana), which is an anagram of perikan ("pelican"; written ぺりかん in Hiragana and ペリカン in Katakana). Spanish translates their name as Pelicardo, derived from pelícano ("pelican"), and Portuguese calls them Pelicruel (pun on pelicano ("pelican") and cruel ("cruel," "mean")). Italian translates their name as Pelicante, presumably from their German name, Pelikant (from pelikan (pelican) and pikant ("repulsive")). In French, they are called Pélichec (from pelican ("pelican") and Eschec ("failure")). Russian translates their name as Pugan (written Пуган), which comes from pugat ("to scare"; written пугать) and pelikan ("pelican"; written пеликан).
