| |seeds = 4}}The '''Pyroclasmic Slooch''' is an enemy found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', first seen at Nintendo's E3 2012 conference. It resembles a black slug-like creature with yellow rings of light pulsing down its body. It is somewhat cone-shaped with two small antennae at its tip. It cloaks itself in flames which will set any Pikmin species other than Red Pikmin on fire if they make contact with it. It moves slowly, leaving a trail of fire behind it that can further ignite Pikmin. Its face consists of two small eye stalks and a long gray-blue tongue, which the Slooch can lash out to snatch Pikmin from a medium range. It is only hurt by [[Red Pikmin]], as they are immune to fire, but they can also be hurt by other Pikmin if it goes into the water. While a [[Rock Pikmin]]'s initial thump can damage it, they will quickly catch on fire. When killed, their flaming bodies extinguish and shrink down to a smaller size.

| The Pyroclasmic Slooch will sometimes act as a hazard. By leaving trails of fire, it has the ability to block areas for non-Red Pikmin, which will only be accessible if they are defeated by Red Pikmin. It takes 3 Pikmin to carry and is worth 15 Pokos.

| ''"These slow-moving creatures use fire to keep away potential predators. They also use their tongues to reel in prey."''
| |
| ==Battle Strategy==
| |
| Defeating the Pyroclasmic Slooch is simple. Take some Red Pikmin (at least 3) and throw them onto the Slooch's body. If the player has less than 3 Red Pikmin with them, be sure to call them back after a few seconds, because the Slooch will be able to buck them off before dying and be able to eat them.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| | |
| *It is possible that the name may be a pun of a pyroclastic flow, a fast moving current of hot gas or rock commonly found in volcanoes. This would make sense as these appear to be made of magma.
| |
| *Its beta name was "Pyro'''p'''lasmic Slooch," a one-letter difference between its final name.
| |
| *In watery areas, the creature's body will be permanately extinguished until it dries off. Strangley, its body will stay ignited during rainy days.
