The '''Pricklepuff''' ({{j|トゲハゼ|Toge Haze|Thorn Goby}}) is an aquatic | 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. | The Pricklepuff will swim around in an area passively.

They then make their way into water seconds later. | ||
