The '''Horsetail''' ({{j|ツクシ|Tsukushi|Horsetail}}) is a [[plant]] found in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. It has a brownish color and stiffly sticks out of the ground like a post. This hardy plant can survive in soil conditions with few nutrients, but is still very rarely seen, only appearing in two overworld locations, one cave, and four challenge mode levels. Horsetails, unlike most plants, have retained the primitive method of reproducing via {{w|spore}}s.
