The '''Scorchcake''' ({{j|ヤキオオバン|Yakiooban|Burning {{w|Imagawayaki|Ōban-yaki}}}}) is a disc-shaped [[enemy]] in {{p4}}. On one side it has a hard brown carapace, while on the other side it is constantly [[Fire|aflame]] and can burn Pikmin. It flips between these sides and can [[crush]] Pikmin while doing so.


== Stats ==
 
The '''Scorchcake''' is a mollusc-like creature that debuted in "Pikmin 4". Its upper half has a soft, cylindrical carapace, while its underside swells with flames, rendering it a fire hazard as well as a crushing hazard.

== Behavior ==
==Behavior==
The Scorchcake will lie in wait for prey, occasionally sticking its eyestalks out. When Pikmin or a leader draw near, it will rotate its body 90 degrees so it rests on its side. After a short delay, it will turn another 90 degrees, attempting to [[crush]] and/or [[Fire|burn]] prey depending on which side is touched. If the creature lands on its fiery side, it releases a burst of flames around itself, igniting and damaging anything in its way, so care should be taken when getting too close. Regardless of the side it lands on as it dies, its corpse will always end up fire-side up with the fire extinguished.

==Appearance==
The Scorchcake is a cylindrical rock-covered mollusc-like creature with its underside being covered in flames. It has blue snail-like eyes that are able to retract and hide within its shell.


== Locations ==
==Strategy==
One Scorchcake is found on sublevel 2 of the [[Crackling Cauldron]], and another is found on sublevel 1 of the [[Cradle of the Beast]]. The Dandori Challenge [[Rockaway Cellars]] has two, and they can spawn in the Dandori Battle [[Hot Sandy Duel]].
Despite its appearance, the Scorchcake's "crust" is soft enough to be damaged, though the fiery underbelly can only be damaged by Fire Pikmin.
If the player character or [[Oatchi]] have equipped the [[Scorch Guard]], this minimises the risk of harm from the creature's fire.
Even with a small squad, the Scorchcake is simple enough to deal with, as long as you ensure no Pikmin are vulnerable in its path. If they are about to be crushed, or are on fire, simply whistle them to your side.
If the Scorchcake loses all of its health while on its side, all Pikmin should be immediately called away, or they will be crushed as the creature topples over to become a corpse.
Either throwing or using [[Charge]] are both very effective.

=== Olimar's notes ===
{{transcript|Related to bivalves, it uses its internal muscles to dexterously manipulate its upper and lower shells. This ability allows it to squash eggs and small Ambuloradices like Pikmin, thus returning nectar to the ground. It then feeds off the microorganisms and moss that benefit from the nectar.
 
To further facilitate the growth of its food, the Scorchcake will secrete oils from its body through its shell and onto the ground. It then sets that area on fire, perhaps as a way to improve soil fertility.|block=y}}
 
=== Louie's notes ===
{{transcript|Remove the internal meat, and place directly on the shell while it's still smoldering to cook. It almost smells better than it tastes.|block=y}}
