Clog

A clog in the Awakening Wood.

Because this subject has no official name, the name "Clog" is conjectural.

A clog is an obstacle in Pikmin 2 and Hey! Pikmin that looks like a cracked rock, used to block the entrance of caves and geysers, and to plug holes underwater so that areas remain flooded. They can be destroyed with Pikmin; often, only Blue Pikmin are able to approach them due to them being submerged. By destroying an underwater clog, a hole is opened up that drains the water from the surrounding area. However, clogs also appear on certain caves, and block the hole that leads to the next sublevel.

In Hey! Pikmin clogs are found very rarely, only appearing once in the whole game, in Below the Ice. It is actually solid dirt blocks, but they have the same role as a clog.

Trivia

• In Pikmin 2's game files, the holes on the final sublevels of the Subterranean Complex, the Hole of Beasts and the Bulblax Kingdom are told to contain a clog. This setting is ignored however, as final sublevels don't have holes.
• By entering a cave just before a clog's destruction cutscene takes place, it is possible to bypass the cutscene and still have the clog count as being destroyed.
