Members
Scorchcake
- Main article: Scorchcake.
The Scorchcake is an enemy found in Pikmin 4. It will rotate 90 degrees, and then rotate another 90 degrees in an attempt to crush Pikmin. It has a side on its body which is firey, and any non-Red Pikmin or Oatchi will be burned if they touch it. Its body is soft, however, and can be damaged by regular Pikmin attacks.
Naming
The name shellcake comes from the family members' shell shape, which resemble some types of cakes.
The genus conchcrustus is named after the real-life conch mollusk, and crust, or crustae, a latin root word meaning shell.
