Three Ravenous Whiskerpillars.

Ravenous Whiskerpillar

Lepidoptera pluckieus

The Ravenous Whiskerpillar is an enemy in Pikmin 2. These enemies are not harmful to the Pikmin, but are dangerous to the Burgeoning Spiderwort plants. They will eat the berries on the plants, which are necessary to make sprays. They can be found in the Awakening Wood, the Perplexing pool and the Wistful Wild; each time near 2 or more Burgeoning Spiderwort plants. When confronted, they will drop off the plant and burrow into the ground. Strangely enough, when killed, they don't seem to be dead; carrying them will make them squirm and emit more of their hissing. The in-game Piklopedia states that they are a larval form of another creature, but it says that mature specimens have not been found yet.

Olimar's Notes

As this species of insect has only recently been discovered, fully mature specimens have yet to be collected. No molting or metamorphosis has been observed during the observation period, making it unlikely that mature Whiskerpillars will be encountered anytime soon. Based on active predation by pikmin, it is believe that the whiskerpillar's place in the food chain has not changed over time.

Louie's Notes

Delicious skillet-seared or sauteed with scallions and a red Genovese sauce.

How to Kill

Pikmin

If it's on a flower, send a couple of Pikmin up there to bring it down, then swarm it with the rest when it falls. Otherwise, just swarm it.

Captains

If it's on a flower, then it's impossible, you can't reach them. If on the ground, just punch it until its dead.
