'''Flukeweeds''' are [[plant]]s in {{p3}} that function as [[tool]]s. They appear as curly pink sprouts. Most Pikmin types cannot interact with them, but [[Winged Pikmin]] will try to pull them out of the ground, often revealing an object attached to their roots, like a [[pellet]], some [[Sheargrub]]s, a [[fruit]], or other things. When holding on, the Pikmin tug together at regular intervals, but if they are not enough, this action will do nothing to the plant. If there are enough Pikmin on it however, each tug will decrease its [[health]], until it reaches 0, at which point the plant pops out of the ground, drops its content, and then disappears. If the Winged Pikmin are under the influence of [[ultra-spicy spray]], they will uproot the Flukeweed faster. These plants bare a striking resemblance to the Fiddleheads found within Pikmin 2, perhaps being a member of the same (fern) family.


The objects that are underground attached to the roots can be made visible with the use of the [[Glitches in Pikmin 3#Invisible geometry|invisible geometry glitch]].
[[Twilight River]]}}'''Flukeweeds '''are plants found in ''Pikmin 3. ''It bears a similar resemblance to a Fiddlehead, but unlike the Fiddlehead, it has an actual function in-game.


==Strength to uproot==
The Flukeweed at first is just a pink plant that they player can scan. However, when Winged Pikmin are unlocked, the player discovers that the Winged Pikmin can unearth this plant. When unearthed, the plant can hold pellets, Male or Female Sheargrubs, or even whole fruits. It is unknown how it manages to hold objects underneath it. It is possible that the item was ensnared in its roots, causing the object tangled in its roots to come out with it. 
Depending on what the Flukeweed holds, a different amount of [[Winged Pikmin]] is required to uproot it and reveal the items. Generally, Flukeweeds containing valuable items like [[fruit]] need more Winged Pikmin to uproot as opposed to Flukeweeds containing eggs or bomb rocks. For lighter Flukeweeds, adding more Winged Pikmin will increase the speed in which they uproot it. However, Flukeweeds that require five Winged Pikmin to uproot cannot have more added after five are assigned.

[[File:River dam.jpg|thumb|250px|The dam in the Twilight River.]]
On top of a waterfall in the [[Twilight River]] area, there is a '''dam''' blocking [[lily pad]]s from flowing down one of the river's branches. It is a small branch that has three Flukeweeds attached to it. When ten Winged Pikmin grab on, they pull the branch out of the way, allowing the lily pads to flow. This obstacle is unique in that the Flukeweeds do not have individual requirements and instead the Winged Pikmin automatically split into groups. Four will always go to the furthest flukeweed and three will go to the other two. The appearance and animation of these Flukeweeds is the same as others, though a [[cutscene]] will play when the dam is lifted.

Some Flukeweeds are used for other purposes. For example, the Flukeweeds on the branch near the Winged Onion in the Twilight River, the Flukeweeds are used to lift the branch to allow the lillypads to flow downstream. There is also a Flukeweed in the Garden of Hope that when plucked, frees the Blue Onion.
