'''Blunt force''' is a non-elemental [[hazard]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], consisted of two physical forces: '''crushing''' and '''stabbing'''. [[Rock Pikmin]] can withstand blunt force attacks. The time it takes for them to unearth does not depend on their maturity and is comprised between six and eleven seconds. Also, [[Winged Pikmin]] can't get crushed by anything but the crystal cube from the [[Plasm Wraith]] : these attacks will just push Winged Pikmin away, even if they are grounded. The crystal cube, however, does crush Winged Pikmin like every other Pikmin type.

==Crushing==
==Crushing==
[[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] have weak bodies that cannot resist most forms of '''crushing''' forces, except for [[Rock Pikmin]]. Once a Pikmin is crushed, there is no way to save it, but Rock Pikmin merely become partially buried in the ground, so they must be left to unearth themselves automatically after some seconds.

[[Leader]]s are not immune to crushing either. If a leader is crushed, they will become flat for a second, and slowly return to their original size. Being crushed normally causes considerable [[Health|damage]], and the prolonged damage animation may allow the leader to be hit by a different attack while they are unable to react.

Interestingly however, [[Winged Pikmin]] can't get crushed by anything but the crystal cube from the [[Plasm Wraith]]: these attacks will just push Winged Pikmin away, even if they are grounded.


In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', crushing can be identified by the distinct sound Pikmin make when killed. In ''Pikmin 3'', any attack that a Rock Pikmin can survive by becoming buried counts as a crushing attack.

Although the [[Mamuta]] crushes Pikmin into the ground with its hands, this does not count as a crushing hazard, as this is actually beneficial to the Pikmin. It's still harmful to leaders, however.

In addition, the Quaggled Mireclops has some attacks that trample Pikmin, killing them in the process, but this is a fatal attack that not even Rock Pikmin can survive.
