The Fossilized Ursidae (木造巨生物クマキボリ^?, lit.: "Wooden Huge Creature Bear Carving") is a treasure found in Pikmin 2. It's actually a wood carving of a bear fishing, more specifically a "kibori kuma". It is found in the Valley of Repose, on top of a ledge.

Location of the Fossilized Ursidae.

The following article or section contains guides. The strategies shown are just suggestions.

It lies beyond the bridge, so the lake must be drained and the bridge must be built before it can be obtained. The treasure is near the lake where the Fiery Bulblax sleeps and a Decorated Cannon Beetle lurks. The treasure is high up on top of a snow bank, so Yellow Pikmin are needed to retrieve it. Purple Pikmin can also be used by utilizing their throwing behavior when a leader throws them while running.

Notes

Olimar's journal

“This dead beast has the form of an animal, yet it is encased in an organic compound. I have concluded that it is a groundbreaking biological discovery. The ship says it's nothing more than a wooden statue. I wish it had more of an imagination. No... Then it would probably talk even more than it does now. That would be bad.”

Sales pitch

“Put this in a natural history museum and watch the visitors line up waving money! This giant statue was found on a savage planet and comes with its own rumored curse! Does it really come alive under a full moon? Own it and find out!”
