The flower atop a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in the flower [[Maturity|stage]] is called '''''Chaenostoma cordatum''''', or commonly known as the '''Bacopa''', '''Ornamental Bacopa''', '''Sutera cordata''', or the '''Pikmin Flower'''. This real-world flower was used to model the white, five petaled, yellow centered flowers that rest on top of the first generation of Pikmin species (the colors introduced in the first game), as well as the [[Bulbmin]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.
The '''Quaggled Mireclops''' ({{j|ヌマアラシ|Numa Arashi|Swamp Storm}}) is a boss in {{p3}}, and is the fifth major boss encountered in story mode. It is first seen by [[Louie]], who tries to escape the Koppaites after they capture him. He is then swallowed by the creature along with a [[Wayward Moon]] he found, and both get spit out when the explorers defeat it.


''Chaenostoma cordatum'' also come in different colors: white, lavender, and magenta/violet. So far, in the Pikmin species, all three of these colors have been used, each symbolizing a generation of ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'', or a new game in the series. The magenta color has been used on all new Pikmin types (not counting Bulbmin) in ''Pikmin 2'', or the second generation of Pikmin species. The lavender color has been used to top all the known new species in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', or the third generation of Pikmin.
The enemy resembles a massive chunk of land (complete with plant life growing on it) that is supported by three enormous hooved legs, making it a tripedal creature.

Quaggled Mireclops

Chaenostoma cordatum, more commonly known as the Bacopa.

The Quaggled Mireclops (ヌマアラシ?, lit.: "Swamp Storm") is a boss in Pikmin 3, and is the fifth major boss encountered in story mode. It is first seen by Louie, who tries to escape the Koppaites after they capture him. He is then swallowed by the creature along with a Wayward Moon he found, and both get spit out when the explorers defeat it.

The enemy resembles a massive chunk of land (complete with plant life growing on it) that is supported by three enormous hooved legs, making it a tripedal creature. It walks around much like creatures from the arachnorb family. When first found, the boss' only vulnerable part – its plant-like bulb near its teapot-like mouth – is encased in a crystal (called a "Mireclops crystal"), 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, presenting the threat of drowning to any non-Blue Pikmin.
