The Foxtail (ネコジャラシ^?, lit.: "Green Foxtail") is a rare plant used for scenery in Pikmin 2; it is only seen in the Valley of Repose, the Wistful Wild and the Sniper Room. It does not affect gameplay at all, as it is only for decoration. This plant appears as a withered grass stalk with a plume of seeds on the tip.

Notes

Olimar's notes

“This plant remains erect after withering and losing its color, so we can only hypothesize about the true color of the plant's plumage. However, local soil analysis indicates trace amounts of dormant seeds, making it not hard to imagine that the area was thick with these plants in the summer.”

Louie's notes

“Inedible. Plagues victims with potent, debilitating cramps.”

Pikmin 2 Nintendo Player's Guide

“Tall foxtails give any field rustic beauty. The feathery foliage grows thick in places where the sun shines and the weather is warm.”
