''' | {{split|"Stabbing" is by definition not blunt force. And the only other blunt force in the series is crushing.}} | ||
'''Blunt force''' is a non-elemental [[hazard]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], consisted of two physical forces: '''crushing''' and '''stabbing'''. [[Rock Pikmin]] can withstand blunt force attacks, although [[Winged Pikmin]] are also mostly immune to being crushed. | |||
== | ==Crushing== | ||
[[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] have weak bodies that cannot resist most forms of '''crushing''' forces, except for [[Rock Pikmin]]. Once a Pikmin is crushed, it becomes flat in whatever direction it was crushed, then disappears with a [[soul]], with no way to save it. However, Rock Pikmin merely become partially buried in the ground and unharmed, and must be left to unearth themselves automatically after some seconds. | [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] have weak bodies that cannot resist most forms of '''crushing''' forces, except for [[Rock Pikmin]].

[[Leader]]s are not immune to crushing either. If a leader is crushed, they will become flat for a second, and slowly return to their original size. Being crushed normally causes considerable [[Health|damage]], and the prolonged damage animation may allow the leader to be hit by a different attack while they are unable to react. | [[Leader]]s are not immune to crushing either.

Although the [[Mamuta]] crushes Pikmin into the ground with its hands, this does not count as a crushing hazard, as this is actually beneficial to the Pikmin. It's still harmful to leaders, however. In addition, the [[Quaggled Mireclops]] has some attacks that trample Pikmin, killing them in the process, but this is a fatal attack that Rock Pikmin are not immune to. | Although the [[Mamuta]] crushes Pikmin into the ground with its hands, this does not count as a crushing hazard, as this is actually beneficial to the Pikmin.

==Stabbing== | |||
[[File:Impaled Pikmin.jpeg|thumb|right|Two Red Pikmin stabbed by a Flighty Joustmite.]] | |||
'''Stabbing''' is a force similar to crushing, in that Rock Pikmin are immune to it. Whereas most Pikmin would get skewered, Rock Pikmin are simply knocked back from stabbing attacks. | |||
The following enemies have stabbing attacks that Rock Pikmin are immune to: | |||
*'''{{icon|Joustmite|y}}''' and '''{{icon|Flighty Joustmite|y}}''' – these enemies stick their proboscis out to stab Pikmin with. | |||
*'''{{icon|Plasm Wraith|y}}''' – the Plasm Wraith's normal attack involves a series of stabbing movements. | |||
*'''{{icon|Speargrub|y}}''' – if non-Rock Pikmin get thrown at the creature, its spikes will kill them. | |||
In the same vein as the Joustmites, it is assumed that [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]]s in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' also have an attack that counts as a "stabbing" hazard, although this force is not distinctly recognized as being a hazard by any game mechanic or explanation. | |||

The rough exterior of Rock Pikmin gives them the ability to survive | The rough exterior of Rock Pikmin gives them the ability to survive blunt force attacks, making them quite valuable when fighting enemies that pose a crushing or stabbing hazard. However, Rock Pikmin won't completely ignore blunt force attacks like other Pikmin types ignore attacks of the hazard they are invulnerable to: crushing attacks temporarily and partially bury them, and stabbing attacks knock them down. Because Rock Pikmin have such a solid body, their attacks could almost be considered blunt force in and of themselves. When attacking enemies, they do not latch on and pummel, but rather cause damage solely with the impact. This even has a special effect on some enemies, like instantly grounding minor flying enemies such as [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s, or instantly crushing [[Skutterchuck]]s (whereas other Pikmin types will simply latch onto the Skutterchuck if it's vulnerable, and take more time to kill it). | ||

In the final game, this does not happen, except unintentionally, with the aforementioned glitch. | ||
