The Rubber Ugly is a treasure in Pikmin 2. It is the third treasure found in sublevel 6 in the Shower Room. It is found in water, which means Blue Pikmin are needed to get it. A Bumbling Snitchbug may be near it, so take it out before collecting the prize. Olimar thinks this treasure is hideous, in humorous contrast to his feelings of the Paradoxical Enigma, which he apparently perceives as a beautiful work of art. It is actually a rubber duck.
Notes
Olimar's journal
“The first time I laid eyes on this hideous treasure, I though it was a giant aquatic monster! It took me several terror-filled seconds to realize that it's just an ugly statue. What a relief... I was ready to run all the way back to Hocotate!”
Sales pitch
“Ugliness that can destroy all beauty drives deep despair into the heart of the beholder. This hideous item is a must-have for connoisseurs of all things wretched and repellant.”

Trivia
- The Rubber Ugly could also be found in an early version of the game. It was placed in an unknown cave, definitely not the Shower Room, and had a different appearance.
- Captain Charlie also possesses a rubber duck, though it is of appropriately smaller size for a Koppaite. He takes it to his missions for good luck, and it is openly called a rubber duck by the crew. It has no real connotation with the Pikmin 2 treasure.
