A Sporegrub spawns on pre-determined paths and will crawl along its vine until it falls off. Once it does it slowly crawls along the ground and turns around when it hits a wall. If it detects something it wants to attack, it pauses for a short second and releases a poison cloud.

Locations

  • Ravaged Rustworks
    • Steel Pipe Forest: This is where they are the most frequent, acting as the "gimmick" of the level, being found throughout the whole area. There are lots of twisting vines all over the level, allowing them to quickly travel around.
  • Lushlife Murk
    • Burning Bog: The first notable place they are found in is the room with the Tangerine Paste. They act as a threat that distracts the player, crawling from the ceiling from multiple vines. Here, the player must multitask between fighting the Puffstalk in the room and the Sporegrubs. They also appear a few times throughout the level, and they can land on the player's "raft" and overall cause more chaos.

Strategy

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

Because Sporegrubs move slowly, they are easy to hit. Only a singe Pikmin thrown on top is needed to kill it. However, if one misses and the Pikmin ends up behind it, it is best to whistle it to make it run faster. If it isn't, the Pikmin will remain in the Sporegrub’s attack range for long enough to be killed. When the creature is moving, it is best to slightly lead the shot.

Notes

Hey! Pikmin logs

“A mutant variety of Sheargrub that lives in certain types of grass. It guards its territory with bursts of toxic gas. I've noticed similar behavior in my dog back home, but it takes much less to set Bulbie off.”
