The Numaarashi is a boss in Pikmin 3, and the fifth major boss encountered in Story Mode. It resembles a massive chunk of land that is supported by three enormous hooved legs. It walks around much like creatures from the Arachnorb family. When first found, the boss' only vulnerable part, it's plant-like bulb, is encased in a Crystal Nodule, which must be broken by Rock Pikmin. When the boss stomps on the muddy terrain that makes up its entire arena, it leaves a depression that is filled with water that can drown non-blue Pikmin.

Strategy

File:00RevealedSegment.png

The segment of the creature after destroying the crystal nodule protecting it.

At first, this creature will be submerged underground with only the top of its body exposed. Upon initial approach, it will rise out of the ground and begin stomping around. At this point, its large, fleshy "hooves" are its main weak point; throw Pikmin at these hooves and they will attack them, causing them to turn red. When they become bright red, the collosial creature will fall over and become stunned. During this time, the top of the creature will be accessable, so use your Rock Pikmin to break away the crystal on top.

After it breaks, the beast's vulnerable bulb will be exposed. Continue this process to attack the creature's bulb. However, standing on top of the creature will cause it to retaliate by lashing out its massive, colorful tongue to eat many Pikmin at once.

Once defeated, it will drop a cantaloupe and Louie
