== 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.

 

 

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]].

== Strategy ==

Despite its appearance, the Scorchcake's "crust" is soft enough to be damaged, though the fiery underbelly can only be damaged by [[Red Pikmin]]. If the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] or [[Oatchi]] have equipped the [[Scorch Guard]], this minimizes 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. Both [[throw]]ing and [[Charge|charging]] are effective methods of attack when fighting this creature.

=== Dalmo's notes ===

{{transcript|In a way, it looks kind of like a tasty treat. But in actuality, this burning bivalve relative is a fierce hunter, squashing its prey with a fiery flourish! The beauty of its popping, crackling flames and the dynamic cartwheels it can perform in battle is a spectacle to behold!|block=y}}

== Naming ==

|common     = Scorchcake. The name comes from its cake-like shape and scorching flames.

|scientific = ''Conchcrustus emberio''. "Conch" may refer to the real life marine mollusk of the same name, and "crustus" may stem from "crust" or the Latin root word "crustae" meaning "rind, shell, crust". ''Emberio'' is derived from "ember".
