{{spoiler|the final boss in {{hp}}}}

The '''Leech Hydroe''' ({{j|クサヤドリアメヒドラ|Kusa Yadori Ame Hidora|Grass Parasite Rain Hydra}}) is a creature in {{hp}}. Although classified as an [[enemy]], it is never fought in the game, and only appears during the final [[boss]]'s defeat [[cutscene]]. It is however responsible for the final fight proper, considering that it takes control of an otherwise docile plant, the [[Berserk Leech Hydroe]], and attacks Olimar and the Pikmin with it.

It is a cowardly parasite that leeches off of plants to drain their nutrients. It is not much taller than Olimar, and looks like a green {{w|Hydra (genus)|hydra}}-like creature. Normally, it wouldn't be so aggressive, but the fact that the [[S.S. Dolphin II]]'s [[Sparklium Converter]] fell on top of it while it was sleeping caused its parasitic urges to go out of control.{{cite quote|{{Notes:Berserk Leech Hydroe/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|the [[Berserk Leech Hydroe]]'s log entry}} The ship part also causes the creature to grow to roughly twice its normal size and turn a pink color.

Its entry gets added to the [[Hey! Pikmin logs|logs]] after the game is completed.

== Locations ==
This creature can only be found in [[Fragment of Hope]], the only area in the final [[sector]] of the game, [[The Final Stretch]]. It only appears in a [[cutscene]] that plays after the [[Berserk Leech Hydroe]]'s defeat.
