The '''Ravenous Whiskerpillar''' is an enemy in Pikmin 2. These enemies are not harmful to the Pikmin, but are dangerous to the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] plants. They will eat the berries on the plants, which are necessary to make sprays. They can be found in the [[Awakening Wood]], the [[Perplexing Pool]] and the [[Wistful Wild]]; each time, they are near two or more [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] plants. When confronted, they will drop off the plant and burrow into the ground. Strangely enough, when killed, they don't seem to be dead; carrying them will make them squirm and emit more of their hissing. Just before they are pulled into the onion, they struggle and hiss even more rapidly. The in-game Piklopedia states that they are a larval form of another creature, but it says that mature specimens have not been found yet. Interestingly, even though it is the only enemy that does not appear in any underground areas, it has a treasure value of 1 [[poko]] according to the [[Piklopedia]].

==Killing Strategies==

====Pikmin====

If it's on a flower, send a couple of Pikmin up there to bring it down, then swarm it with the rest when it falls. Otherwise, just swarm it.

====Captains====

If it's on a flower, then wait for it to eat all the berries and kill it when it hops off of the plant. If on the ground, just punch it until it's dead. If the [[Rocket Fist]] upgrade has been unlocked, the third punch can hit the Whiskerpillar only when it's on the ''very bottom'' part of the berries.
