The '''Elongated Crushblat''' ({{j|アシナガオトシ|Ashinaga Otoshi|Long Legged Dropper}}) is a passive [[enemy]] found in {{hp}}. It is a relative of the [[Mockiwi]] that has extremely long legs, and despite the name, it is not related to the [[crushblat family]]. This creature only appears once in the entire game, and it has a whole room dedicated to it; the [[camera]] even zooms out when this enemy is faced just so it can be better seen.

== Behavior ==
The Elongated Crushblat is a fairly slow, docile creature, that only kills Pikmin unintentionally, should they happen to be underneath its large feet when it takes its next step. It wanders forward left or right, stopping to turn around when it reaches the end of the room it's in, or when a Pikmin behind it is thrown at its joints. If it gets hit in the joints too much, its legs will go weak and it will topple to ground level. After a while, it will get right back up and continue its walk.

== Locations ==
Only one exists in the entire game, in [[Pollution Pool]]. The player must cross it in order to complete the stage, since the only way to get the [[Blue Pikmin]] needed to progress is to enter a room with the creature, and the only way out is past it. Near the end of the area, where a [[bridge]] needs to be built, the player must dive into the water and enter a doorway on the rightmost part of the lake. This leads to a section where the player can climb up a [[vine]] on the left, and from there, fall into the room with the Elongated Crushblat.

== Strategy ==

{{game help|hp|Figure out exactly what triggers it to topple after the 10 hits have been reached while it's turning around.}}

The Elongated Crushblat can only be taken out by throwing Pikmin at its knee-like joints. Pikmin thrown at the legs or feet will just bounce back, so you need the proper timing and angle to hit the joints. After hitting them 10 times, the creature will be weakened and come crashing down. At this point, it can be damaged properly by attacking its head. It will eventually shake the Pikmin off, so this may need to be repeated a couple of times. During its toppling animation, it is completely harmless, and touching the feet here will not cause damage or kill Pikmin. If you throw too many Pikmin while its foot is raised, you may find it hard to bring them back to you before the creature stomps, so don't throw too many. Bizarrely, if the 10th hit happens while the creature is turning around, you will need to hit the joints a few more times, but exactly how many times is not known.

Alternatively, you can let Olimar touch one of the feet, which will make him lose some [[health]], but will turn him and the Pikmin following him invincible for some seconds. Use this gap to run past the creature without defeating it or risking Pikmin deaths. You cannot get past this creature without taking damage &ndash; using the [[jetpack]] to go above the feet will still hurt you.
