The chrysanthemum family contains two species, one classed as an enemy, and one as a plant, much in the same way as the Pikmin. This family is based on the real-life chrysanthemum family. The Creeping Crysanthemum shares a genus name Taraxacum with the Dandelion (Dandelion family) 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.

Creeping Chrysanthemum
- Main article: Creeping Chrysanthemum.
The Creeping Chrysanthemum is a carnivorous member of the Chrysanthemum family. It is a large plant-like creature with a red mouth, two eyes on its shoulders disguised as flowers, and two arm-like tentacles that it uses to move around. This creature disguises itself as a Margaret, rising up out of the ground and attacking prey that ventures near; as such, they are often found near real Margarets. It can be distinguished from a Margaret because its eyes are visible when camouflaged.

Margarets are yellow, dandelion-like plants. They tend to grow in bright places, such as the Awakening Wood. Creeping Chrysanthemums are often found where there are many of these plants.
