Notes

Olimar's notes

“Like Pikmin, the creeping chrysanthemum is a member of a group of creatures with ambulatory root structures. This creature is known as a "mimic," but because it is actually a form of plant, this label is not entirely accurate. For unknown reasons, the creeping chrysanthemum's mimicry does not fool Pikmin, perhaps because they share a similar heritage. It relies on preying upon other creatures to provide sustenance, so it has no need of leaves for photosynthesis. Generally speaking, the role of plants within an ecosystem is as a producer species, and thus plants are generally found at the bottom of the food pyramid. However, on this strange planet the line between producer plants and consumer plants is blurred.”

Louie's notes

“When thinly sliced, this predator's sizeable bulb makes a sumptuous pizza topping.”

Olimar's notes (Pikmin 4)

“Like Pikmin, the Creeping Chrysanthemum is a member of a group of creatures with ambulatory root structures.

This creature is known as a "mimic," but because it is actually a form of plant, this label is not entirely accurate. It uses its mimicry to lie in wait and ambush prey, unrecognized even by Pikmin despite being members of the same class of organisms.

Pikmin 2 Nintendo Player's Guide

“If you're not specifically looking for a Creeping Chrysanthemum, you may miss it until you're right on top of it and it pops out of the ground. Keep your Pikmin away from the predator's mouth and toss them at its body. If the creature falls over, swarm it before it can right itself.”

Strategy

Pikmin 2

Pikmin

Its large mouth will pick up the Pikmin to eat them, but if it fails to capture any, it will slam its head into its body and fall to the ground, struggling to get back up. This presents an opportunity for the player to attack the Chrysanthemum. Its weak point is its body, which can be hit at all times. It is generally weak against medium-sized groups of Pikmin. The best way to defeat it is to simply swarm it, being careful not to let it eat any Pikmin. Another way is to daze it with Purple Pikmin then swarm to kill it. Yet another way is to quickly dart forward and attack, and when it tries to eat Pikmin, retreat. It will hit itself, knocking itself down. Use Purple Pikmin to quickly kill it when it is struggling to regain balance. Another good method of defeating it is to have one leader dismissed without any Pikmin and the other leader close by with Pikmin. Then, have the leader without any Pikmin wake up the creature and switch leaders as soon as it wakes up and start swarming or throwing Pikmin at the beast until it's dead.

Leaders

After waking it, attack it until it does its recoil move, avoid it, then attack again. It's best to attack the Chrysanthemum from behind to minimize risk to the attacking leader. Alternatively, allowing the Chrysanthemum to bite and stun itself will allow for some extra punching time at the cost of increased risk to the leader.

Pikmin 4

Creeping Chrysanthemums are arguably a lot harder to spot than they were in Pikmin 2 because their eyes no longer glow and they typically keep their eyelids shut. An easy way to tell a Creeping Crystanthemum from a normal flower is to look at the yellow centre of the flower. Creeping Chrysanthemums have a small slit in the centre where their eyelids are and are smoothly textured instead of having visable anthers. Quick reaction times on the whistle can also prevent any casualties if caught off guard.

Following the redesign, the Chrysanthemum now has a frog-like tounge to eat Pikmin. Purple Pikmin deal especially large amounts of damage to this enemy with their impacts, and Winged Pikmin can fly above this enemy's tongue, but it is unlikely the player will have access to these types while fighting the beast. Instead, it is recommended to ride Oatchi to prevent Pikmin loss. Circle around the Chrysanthemum and rush into it from behind. Using a good amount of Red Pikmin or Rock Pikmin is recommended, since these can add some extra damage to a charge and prevent an unnecessarily lengthened fight. Ice Pikmin are also good to stop the enemy from reacting to your onslaught.

Alternatively, a single bomb rock is enough to put an end to this beast, even if it is hiding in the ground.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

This enemy appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

	Description: “An enemy flower and a member of the chrysanthemum family that closely resembles the Margaret flower. This flower feeds on prey and, despite being a plant, performs no photosynthesis and exposes no leaves—just flowers on top. It usually stays underground with only its flowers exposed, waiting to jump out and attack. It also uses rootlike legs to walk around. Pikmin 2”
How to obtain: Collect all fighter-related trophies.		Type: Fighter Related

Naming

• Common name: "Chrysanthemum" is the family name for the enemy and the Margaret, known in the real world as a chrysanthemum. "Creeping" refers to its startling hiding and emerging behavior.
• Japanese nickname: びっくり菊^?. It translates to something closer to "Surprising Chrysanthemum", given the surprise caused when it reveals itself to not be a simple plant.
• Japanese name: キクヅモリ^?. Likely from 菊作り^?, lit.: "chrysanthemum growing" and つもり^?, lit.: "pretender". "つもり" is the word used like -のつもりでいる^?, lit.: "pretend to be -"
• Scientific name: Taraxacum rovinia. Taraxacum is the real world genus for the Dandelion. Rovinia may be derived from the verb "rove".
• Internal names: Its internal name, hana, simply means 花^? (lit.: "flower"). In Pikmin 4, it is changed to BIKKURIGIKU, which matches its Japanese common name.
• Prerelease: None.

Trivia

• The Creeping Chrysanthemum shares a genus name with the Dandelion even though they are in separate families; in real life, this is impossible, as different species cannot be in the same genus and different families. This is likely a mistake.
• In Pikmin 2, the Creeping Chrysanthemum is voiced by Takahiro Watanabe.
• Despite the Creeping Chrysanthemum's drastically different appearance from Pikmin 2, Olimar and Louie's Piklopedia notes remain mostly unchanged in Pikmin 4, meaning that Olimar still states that the creature has no need for leaves despite it now possessing them. This is made even more bizarre considering the fact that Olimar's notes are updated to say that Pikmin are fooled by the mimic, contrary to them supposedly seeing past it according to Pikmin 2.
• Olimar's notes on the Creeping Chrysanthemum in the Japanese version of Pikmin 2 are the first mention of the Ambuloradicis class, which would go unnamed in English until Pikmin 4.
