Creeping Chrysanthemum

Taraxacum rovinia

The Creeping Chrysanthemum is an enemy in Pikmin 2. When dormant, it greatly resembles the large yellow flowers known as the Margaret 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 or the pilots 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 to eat them, but if it fails to capture any, it will slam its head into its body and fall to the ground, struggling to get back up, right then is an opportunity for you to atack it during this opening. 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. This enemy is not able to be petrified while it is in the ground.They look like prahna plants from the Mario games.
