The Mud Pit is a cave in the Primordial Thicket in Pikmin 4. As its name implies, it has a large amount of mud which makes traversing the cave tricky, especially when combined with the bottomless swamps that not even Blue Pikmin can swim through. Winged Pikmin are helpful here thanks to their ability to fly over most of the mud. At the bottom is an encounter with a Bug-Eyed Crawmad. This cave has 
× 960 worth of treasure.
How to reach
The cave is located just a few steps northwest of The Sylvan Gate landing site. There are two Moldy Dwarf Bulborbs near the entrance, but they are easy to run past because they patrol a relatively large area.

This sublevel is essentially a loop, so it doesn’t matter which way you go. It’s also the only other place in the game where you can find the Blizzarding Blowhog enemy, the other being the Cavern for a King. This sublevel is pretty tricky, and it’s recommended that you use Winged Pikmin for the majority of the area.

Unlike prior sublevels, the mud on this floor only requires 30 Ice Pikmin to freeze. Freezing the floor has a useful benefit: the cave's boss, Bug-Eyed Crawmad will not come out of its hole while the floor is frozen, allowing you to deal with the Hermit Crawmads first - the Bug-Eyed Crawmad can also be permanently frozen via this method after emerging from its hole, essentially skipping the fight. The Life Station, however, cannot be moved while the floor is frozen.
