The Silencer (サイレンサー?, lit.: "Silencer") is the head of a doll, most likely a baby doll and also a treasure in Pikmin 2. It is found on the tenth and final sublevel of the Cavern of Chaos and is held by the elusive, but extremely aggressive Segmented Crawbster.
This treasure is worth a notably high amount of Pokos: coming in at 670 (666 in the Japanese version), it is the third most valuable treasure in the game. Staring at the treasure while the Pikmin carry it, or while idling on the "collected treasure" cutscene allows one to see the doll head blinking as it is tilted.
Like other treasures usually dropped by bosses, if the player defeats the Segmented Crawbster, but does not have enough Pikmin to carry the Silencer - which normally weighs 20 units - it will change weight to match the player's army.
Notes
Olimar's journal
Sales pitch
“The perfect gift in this age of overwhelming information, this mute face cherishes silence. If you value peace and quiet, why not spend some time staring into this face? One hour... Two hours... I am...feeling...drowsy... Energy-saving...mode...initiated

- Text: “ううっ……ドルフィン初号機だけでもやかましいのに、今は社長までいる。やかましくって、しょうがない！！この像を少しは見習ってほしいものだ。今思えば、ルーイくんは無口でとっつきにくかったが、静かで良かった。”
- Translation: “Ugh... Things were noisy even with just the ship, but now even the president is there. It's so noisy, I can't stand it!! I wish they would learn a little from this statue. Now that I think about it, Louie was quiet and hard to approach, but the silence was nice.”
Sales pitch (Japanese)[edit]

…………。” - Translation: “Perfect for today's information overload. This product is more quiet than lively. Why don't you look at this face and enjoy a moment of silence? One hour, two hours... I'm starting to feel sleepy.

Trivia[edit]
- The value of this treasure was changed from 666 Pokos to 670 for releases outside Japan, presumably for its connotations with the Beast from the biblical book of Revelation.
