It attacks by stretching its body upwards and then squashing flat outwards, trapping and digesting Pikmin in its body. They are occasionally found hiding inside nectar eggs.

Notes

Dalmo's Notes

“This peculiar li'l button has the perfect texture and coloration to pass as an egg fried sunny-side up by a master chef. There's nothing about it that makes it seem threatening. And it looks so yummy! I can't help thinking of a delicious breakfast when I see it!”

Olimar's Notes

“A type of primitive organism called a protochordate. In its juvenile state, it has a skeleton-like structure called a notochord. It flaps its finned tail to move and lives within other creatures' eggs as it grows.
As its body develops, it starts to exhibit mollusk-like qualities, but its highly exposed external stomach can directly digest prey on contact and can also be used for locomotion.”

Louie's Notes

“Season with salt and pepper.”
