The '''Pricklepuff''' ({{j|トゲハゼ|Toge Haze|Thorn Goby}}) is an aquatic [[enemy]] in {{p4}}. The front of their face will protrude spikes which they use to [[stab]] threats, like a {{w|pufferfish}}. As they are typically in fully submerged [[water]], attacking them with the stab-immune [[Rock Pikmin]] is not always possible, needing [[Blue Pikmin]] to defeat them with extra caution.

The Pricklepuff will swim around in an area passively. If it is approached by the player and their [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], it swims over and attempts to impale them by extending the spikes on its front. It keeps the spikes out for about a second before retracting them; Pikmin that touch the spikes while they're out after the initial attack will simply be knocked away rather than being killed. It can kill up to 6 Pikmin in a single attack.

It can kill up to 6 Pikmin in a single attack. If it swims toward land, including slopes that stick out of the water, they can be seen "walking" with their fins, sitting on land. They then make their way into water seconds later.

Its liver and ovaries contain powerful nerve toxins, accumulated from ingesting shellfish and algae with trace amounts of poison. These toxins not only function as alternative pheromones but also seem to keep predators at bay.
