Creeping Chrysanthemum
Taraxacum rovinia
The Creeping Chrysanthemum is an enemy in Pikmin 2. When dormant, it greatly resembles the large yellow flowers used for level scenery. It can be told apart from the normal flowers in that it has one less flower, and the large flowers have the Chrysanthemum's eyes visible. When the Pikmin get close, it will spring out of the ground, revealing its root-arms and its bulbous body. Its large mouth will pick up the Pikmin and slam them into its body, so that it eats them and topples over at the same time. Its weak point is its body, which can be hit at all times. It is generally weak against medium-sized groups of Pikmin. It moves moderately slowly, and will return to its original spot if left alone for a while.
