The Repugnant Appendage (かぐわしき存在?, lit.: "Fragrant Being") is a treasure in Pikmin 2; it is actually a dirty pink shoe with a velcro strap that has the head of a teddy bear on it. From the design and proportion, it is likely a baby shoe. It is found on the eighth and final sublevel of Frontier Cavern and is in the possession of an Empress Bulblax that constantly gives birth to Bulborb Larvae. When retrieved, the Rush Boots component of the Exploration Kit is unlocked. Like some other treasures, if the player defeats the Empress Bulblax, but does not have enough Pikmin to carry the Repugnant Appendage, which requires the strength of twenty Pikmin, it will change weight to match the player's army.

Notes

Ship's dialogs

Ervvt! Olfactory sensors overloading! Approaching outer stink limits!

The stench must be emanating from that object...


This object has pockets of air under its surface. It is perfect for the boots I am making.

Processing...complete. Nano-assemblage of the Rush Boots is concluded!

These nullify wind resistance by circulating air beneath the soles.

You'll move faster and you'll no longer be blown away by puffy blowhogs' nasal blasts!

Olimar's journal

This aromatic object secretes a tangy odor that could knock out a bulblax! I'm with the ship on this one... I don't want to touch it, either! But I must! For the sake of the company and my family... I must summon the strength to carry on!

Sales pitch

Is this the remains of some giant creature? Its color is striking, but its stench is horrific. Could it be dangerous? The true essence of things in the natural world is very often disguised. Be fooled and die...fool or be killed. This is a law of survival.
