The '''Large Splurchin''' ({{j|オオゴロンガゼ|Ō Goron Gaze|Big Rolling ''{{w|Diadema setosum}}''|}}) is an [[enemy]] found in {{hp}}. It is one of the few creatures in the entire series that is completely invincible and acts more like an obstacle. It highly resembles a real life {{w|Sea urchin|urchin}}, as it looks like a ball with purple skin and yellow spikes. It will slowly float in a single direction, and can kill any [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] that touch it. It also comes in two different sizes, although the smaller ones are much more common.

== Behavior ==

The Large Splurchin has very few means of moving or attacking; the most it can do is kill Pikmin that happen to touch it as it bounces back and forth.

== Locations ==
*'''[[Verdant Waterfront]]'''
**[[Foaming Lake]]
**[[The Shallow End]]
**[[Treacherous Currents]]

== Strategy ==

Large Splurchins are completely invincible, and can only be avoided.
