The '''Scorchcake''' ({{j|ヤキオオバン|Yakiooban | |||
The '''Scorchcake''' ({{j|ヤキオオバン|Yakiooban}}) is a mollusc-like creature that debuted in {{p4}}. 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. | |||

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 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 belly-up. | ||

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.

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. | ||
