The '''Ancient Sirehound''' is the final [[boss]] of {{p4}}. It is a giant space dog very similar to [[Oatchi]] and [[Moss]], speculated by [[Yonny]] and [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] to be the ancestor of all space dogs. They theorize that its descendents evolved to become smaller and were somehow dispersed across the universe, eventually becoming modern space dogs. | The '''Ancient Sirehound''' is the final [[boss]] of {{p4}}.

While it will try to face the player when using the latter, it cannot turn very quickly and its tail can be pulled on as before. However, care should be taken in order to avoid being hit by stray snowballs. The Sirehound will use six, then seven, snowballs as its health decreases, and its ice breath rotation speed increases slightly. | ||
Starting from this phase, touching any part of the Sirehound's body other than its tail will afflict Pikmin with its current element. | Starting from this phase, touching any part of the Sirehound's body other than its tail will afflict Pikmin with its current element. | ||

It will lob projectiles that produce the same [[gloom]] that the [[Smoky Progg]] uses in a circular area when they land, and will also use a beam of this gloom to attack in a line. Due to the previous phases using hazards, and the poisonous appearance of the boss during the phase, it is possible for distracted players to throw [[White Pikmin]] into the gloom. | ||
The player must navigate between the gloom patches, ideally by riding on Oatchi, without being hit by the beam to get underneath the Sirehound and pull on its tail once more. At low health, it will begin to panic Pikmin with its close-range roar and may quickly reposition itself to keep its distance from the player.

If one simply activates a [[Lighting Shock]] item while it's in the air, or utilizes a Glow Mob to stun it, the Ancient Sirehound's tail will fall down and immediately become vulnerable, allowing for a quick and harmless knockdown. If the player has enough Lightning Shocks, then it's possible for not a single attack to be performed by it. | ||
