When attacked, it will try to retreat by burying itself into the ground. It is found only in the area Echo Cavern. Because of this creature's rarity, and how it doesn't even drop a treasure, it can easily be missed.

Strategy

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

Seedbaggers are large and have quite a bit of health. Despite this, they are completely passive and lack any means of defending themselves or attacking Pikmin. Simply lobbing Pikmin at them repeatedly will defeat them, causing them to drop all of their loot.

Notes

Hey! Pikmin logs

These timid creatures are more afraid of you than you are of them. If you can defeat one, it will send seeds spraying everywhere. It's quite a send-off...
