'''Spotcaps''' ({{j|コマダラタケ|Ko Madara Take|Small [[Kingcap|Spotted Mushroom]]}}) are a type of fungus in {{p3}} that serve as [[obstacle]]s. They are usually found in tight groups and typically near [[Kingcap]]s, so they typically block passageways. Some Spotcaps however can be found by themselves, out of the way. [[Leader]]s can use their [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to destroy Spotcaps.

Spotcaps have varying sizes, near those of a leader. If a Pikmin is [[Charge|issued]] to attack a Spotcap, they'll pummel it for a bit, until it shrivels up and disappears, but if a Pikmin is [[throw]]n straight towards its top, it will crush the fungus and destroy it straight away. In addition, there is another mushroom similar to the Spotcap that is completely brown, cannot be [[lock-on|locked-onto]], and also disappears if a Pikmin is thrown on top of it, named '''Dusty Mushrooms'''.{{cite quote|{{notes:Quaggled Mireclops/p3dpolimarus}}|Olimar|his comments on the [[Quaggled Mireclops]]}}<ref>In the files of ''Pikmin 3'', stored as <code>hokoritake</code>, they have data for a lock-on name, with it being "Dusty Mushroom". The name goes unused in the final game because they cannot be locked-onto.</ref> The two function similarly, and the latter is assumed to be another form of Spotcap, or at least closely related to it. In ''Pikmin 3'', the Dusty Mushrooms can sometimes release [[data file]]s, though in {{p3d}} all data files the corresponding Spotcaps and Dusty Mushrooms once held are instead found nearby.

==Poison Spotcap==

In {{p4}}, a poisonous variant of the Spotcap can be seen. It is rarer than its normal counterpart, only being found in 1 area, the [[Primordial Thicket]], and 3 caves, the [[Doppelgänger's Den]], the [[Engulfed Castle]] and the [[Cavern for a King]]. It functions the same as normal Spotcaps, except it can only be attacked by [[White Pikmin]] due to its poison. However, they can also be destroyed easily by [[Oatchi]]'s rush.

==Locations==
{{stub|section=y|Add more detail to locations.}}
[[Kingcap]]s are never seen without Spotcaps, but a few Spotcaps are in places without Kingcaps.

===Tropical Wilds===
*Spotcaps appear in a non-obtrusive fashion in the cave next to the landing site, leading up from [[Alph]]'s crash site.

===Distant Tundra===
*A large amount of Spotcaps appear in the area around [[Charlie]]'s crash site.

===Twilight River===
*A few Spotcaps appear near the [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s near the landing site, where the [[lily pad]]s start flowing down the northern river tributary.

===Tropical Forest===
*Spotcaps appear in the lowest part of the area in both versions of the level.

===Twilight Hollow===
*The easternmost part of the level with a [[Bulborb]] and some [[Purple Pikmin]] is blocked by a group of Spotcaps.

== Trivia ==
*Spotcaps and Kingcaps share many similarities to [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, and [[Bulborb]]s, respectively. Spotcaps and Dwarf Bulborbs each have 100 health, while Kingcaps and Bulborbs each have 1000. Both are red with white spots, and both Spotcaps and Dwarf Bulborbs instantly get defeated when hit on top.
