The '''Silencer''' ({{j|サイレンサー|Sairensā|Silencer}}) is the head of a {{w|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]].


The '''Silencer''' is the head of a [[wikipedia:Doll|doll]], most likely a baby doll. It is found on the last (10) sublevel of the Cavern of Chaos, and is held by the elusive, but extemely agressive [[Segmented Crawbster]]. It is much worth it having to beat such a powerful creature to get such a staggering sum of 670 Pokos (666 in the Japanese version), as that is the third-ranked treasure value (though there are multiple treasures worth 1000 Pokos). Staring at it long enough makes it possible to see the eyes blink, as the lids will move when the head is tilted (similiar to other toy dolls). This will only occur when the head is being carried by [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]], or in the screen where the name is first mentioned.
This treasure is worth a notably high amount of [[Poko]]s: coming in at 670 (666 in the Japanese [[Region|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 [[Treasure#Dynamic weights|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.

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

The ship is noisy, but nothing compares to the boss's inane chatter. Blah blah blah! It never ends! He could learn a lot from this noiseless, disembodied head. Louie's quiet nature was hard to adjust to, but now I've grown to appreciate the peace and quiet.

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
