The '''Creeping Chrysanthemum''' ({{j|びっくり菊|Bikkuri Kiku|Surprising Chrysanthemum}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. When dormant, Creeping Chrysanthemums greatly resemble large flowers used for level scenery. When [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or the leaders get close, they will spring out of the ground, revealing their root-legs and their bulbous bodies.
The '''Creeping Chrysanthemum''' ({{j|びっくり菊|Bikkuri Kiku|Surprising Chrysanthemum}}) is an enemy in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. When dormant, it greatly resembles the large yellow flowers known as the [[Margaret]] used for level scenery. It can be told apart from the normal flowers, as it has one less flower, no leaves on the "stem", a slightly visible pattern on the stem, and the large flowers have the Chrysanthemum's eyes visible.


In ''Pikmin 2'', they resemble [[Margaret]]s when dormant, but they can be told apart from the normal flowers, as they have one fewer flower, no leaves on their "stems", slightly visible patterns on their stem, and their large flowers have the Chrysanthemum's eyes visible. They have large red mouths that emerge from their tallest flowers. They move moderately slowly, and will return to their original spots if left alone for a while. They replant themselves by standing above the spot where they originally came and sucking themselves into the ground until only the "flowers" remain. These enemies cannot be [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] while they are in the ground.
When [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or the leaders get close, it will spring out of the ground, revealing its root-arms, its bulbous body, and its gigantic mouth that emerges from its tallest flower.

It replants itself by standing above the spot where it originally came from and sucking itself into the ground until only the "flowers" remain. This enemy cannot be [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] while it is in the ground.


The Chrysanthemums were heavily redesigned in ''Pikmin 4''. They now have white flowers resembling [[Vegetation#Fleabane|Fleabane]], their mouths are at the top of their bodies instead of on stalks, they have large tongues which they launch to attack and their legs now resemble those of frogs. When they launch their tongues and miss, they will take a while to retrieve them.

{{transcript|Let's have a Creeping Chrysanthemum show, why don't we? We'll gather hand-raised Creeping Chrysanthemums and have a contest based on size, flower color - things like that. They're half animal, so maybe a behavior category too? Or course, how would the judges choose a winnner? Each specimen is so beautiful in its own way...|block=y}}
=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|Like Pikmin, the Creeping Chrysanthemum is a member of a group of creatures with ambulatory root structures.
This creature is known as a "mimic," but because it is actually a form of plant, this label is not entirely accurate. It uses its mimicry to lie in wait and ambush prey, unrecognized even by Pikmin despite being members of the same class of organisms.
It relies on preying upon other creatures to provide sustenance, so it has no need of leaves for photosynthesis.
Generally speaking, the role of plants within an ecosystem is as a producer species, and thus plants are generally found at the bottom of the food pyramid. However, on this strange planet, the line between producer plants and consumer plants is blurred.|block=y}}

{{transcript|
ピクミンと同じ歩根類の一種で、植物が動物的な性質を獲得したもの。葉による光合成も可能だが、地中に体を隠して待ち伏せ、他の生物を捕らえて主な栄養源とする。
特徴 その1 植物のような特徴
:頭部はキク科の植物に似ていて、花の部分に目がある。
:(Image text: 花の香りも本物とほとんど変わらず、イエシジミやピクミンにも気づかれない)
特徴 その2 動物のような特徴
:獲物が近づくと、地面から飛び出す。

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
A member of the Ambuloradicis class, like the Pikmin, it is a plant that has acquired animal-like characteristics. Although capable of photosynthesis using its leaves, it hides its body underground and lies in wait, capturing other organisms as its main source of nourishment.
Feature #1: Plant-like features
:The head resembles a plant of the Asteraceae family, with eyes in the flower parts.
:(Image text: "The flower's scent is almost the same as that of the real thing, and not even Flutterbies and Pikmin notice it")
Feature #2: Animal-like features
:When prey approaches, it leaps from the ground.
:(Image text: "It extends its sticky tongue to catch its prey")
Feature #3: Parasitic
:Similar to the Bulbmin, the plant part parasitizes another organism.
:(Image text: "Depending on the type of host, the flower color, body shape, and method of predation differ")

Its large mouth will pick up the Pikmin to eat them, but if it fails to capture any, it will slam its head into its body and fall to the ground, struggling to get back up. This presents an opportunity for the player to attack the Chrysanthemum. Its weak point is its body, which can be hit at all times. It is generally weak against medium-sized groups of Pikmin. The best way to defeat it is to simply [[swarm]] it, being careful not to let it eat any Pikmin. Another way is to daze it with [[Purple Pikmin]] then swarm to kill it. Yet another way is to quickly dart forward and attack, and when it tries to eat Pikmin, retreat. It will hit itself, knocking itself down. Use Purple Pikmin to quickly kill it when it is struggling to regain balance. Another good method of defeating it is to have one leader dismissed without any Pikmin and the other leader close by with Pikmin. Then, have the leader without any Pikmin wake up the creature and switch leaders as soon as it wakes up and start [[swarm]]ing or [[throw]]ing Pikmin at the beast until it's dead.

After waking it, attack it until it does its recoil move, avoid it, then attack again. It's best to attack the Chrysanthemum from behind to minimize risk to the attacking leader. Alternatively, allowing the Chrysanthemum to bite and stun itself will allow for some extra [[punch]]ing time at the cost of increased risk to the [[leader]].

===''Pikmin 4''===
Creeping Chrysanthemums are arguably a lot harder to spot than they were in ''Pikmin 2'' because their eyes no longer glow and they typically keep their eyelids shut. An easy way to tell a Creeping Crystanthemum from a normal flower is to look at the yellow centre of the flower. Creeping Chrysanthemums have a small slit in the centre where their eyelids are and are smoothly textured instead of having visable anthers. Quick reaction times on the whistle can also prevent any casualties if caught off guard.
Following the redesign, the Chrysanthemum now has a frog-like tounge to eat Pikmin. [[Purple Pikmin]] deal especially large amounts of damage to this enemy with their impacts, and [[Winged Pikmin]] can fly above this enemy's tongue, but it is unlikely the player will have access to these types while fighting the beast. Instead, it is recommended to ride [[Oatchi]] to prevent Pikmin loss. Circle around the Chrysanthemum and rush into it from behind. Using a good amount of [[Red Pikmin]] or [[Rock Pikmin]] is recommended, since these can add some extra damage to a charge and prevent an unnecessarily lengthened fight. [[Ice Pikmin]] are also good to stop the enemy from reacting to your onslaught.
Alternatively, a single [[bomb rock]] is enough to put an end to this beast, even if it is hiding in the ground.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Despite its appearance, {{p2}}'s Creeping Chrysanthemum uses the same AI that is also used for the [[Red Bulborb]], [[Hairy Bulborb]], [[Orange Bulborb]], and [[Fiery Bulblax]].<ref>[https://github.com/projectPiki/pikmin2/blob/main/include/Game/Entities/ChappyBase.h Pikmin 2 decompilation] on Github</ref>
*The Creeping Chrysanthemum shares a genus name with the [[Dandelion]] even though they are in separate families; in real life, this is impossible, as different species cannot be in the same genus and different families. This is likely a [[mistake]].

*In ''Pikmin 2'', the Creeping Chrysanthemum is voiced by Takahiro Watanabe.{{cite web|https://web.archive.org/web/20221206024347/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0405/1_2/index.html|Development staff interview for ''Pikmin 2''|Wayback Machine}}

*Despite the Creeping Chrysanthemum's drastically different appearance from ''Pikmin 2'', Olimar and Louie's [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 4)|Piklopedia]] notes remain mostly unchanged in ''Pikmin 4'', meaning that Olimar still states that the creature has no need for leaves despite it now possessing them. This is made even more bizarre considering the fact that Olimar's notes are updated to say that Pikmin are fooled by the mimic, contrary to them supposedly seeing past it according to ''Pikmin 2''.
