== Behavior == | |||
The Fluttertail initially stays out of sight, only descending from the ceiling when a leader and their Pikmin enter its arena. It has two methods of attack; fluttering its wings to send clouds of icy wind flying, and using its long proboscis to scoop up Pikmin in front of it and subsequently eat them. The icy wind attack can extinguish bonfires and fire starters. When not attacking, the creature merely flies around its arena. | |||

When a fire starter is thrown at the creature's body, the layer of frost will melt, causing it to clumsily fly about. At this point, it is vulnerable to Pikmin attacks and can be weighed down. Eventually, it will regenerate its frost layer; when it has low health, it will regenerate a thicker layer of frost that requires three fire starters to melt. | |||

The Snowfake Fluttertail is immune to damage while protected by its ice cocoon. Pikmin that touch the ice cocoon will instantly freeze, leaving them open to being eaten. Its proboscis attack and ice gust attack target in front of the creature, so trying to remain behind it will leave Pikmin less vulnerable. Riding on [[Oatchi]] provides more safety as your Pikmin squad will be less spread out. | The Snowfake Fluttertail is immune to damage while protected by its ice cocoon.

There are several options to breaking the cocoon, the easiest is throwing a [[Red Pikmin]] holding a [[fire starter]], as this will instantly shatter the cocoon. Take care when using fire starters, as the creature's gust attack can extinguish them. A [[Lightning Shock]] will shatter the cocoon, stun the Snowfake Fluttertail, and drop it to the ground. This creates an opportunity for a Pikmin charge or a rush by Oatchi and with enough Pikmin it will quickly defeat the Fluttertail. [[Bomb rock]]s can also instantly shatter the cocoon, but the creatures movements and the bomb's delayed explosion make this method harder to execute. [[Ice Pikmin]] can latch onto the cocoon and, with enough damage dealt, will shatter it. However, this method is much slower and leaves more time for the Fluttertail to attack | There are several options to breaking the cocoon, the easiest is throwing a [[Red Pikmin]] holding a [[Fire Starters|fire starter]], as this will instantly shatter the cocoon.

When the cocoon is shattered, the Snowfake Fluttertail will attempt to flee. Keep throwing Pikmin unto its now vulnerable body and be ready to whistle them back when the Fluttertail starts to regenerate its cocoon. | When the cocoon is shattered, the Snowfake Fluttertail will attempt to flee.
