Dried plant

It has been suggested that this page should be moved to Straw. |
Dried plants[1] (also known as straw[2]) are obstacles introduced in Pikmin 4. They resemble a straw bales, and they are always found in groups of at least 2. They can typically only be destroyed through the use of fire starters, and they are used to block paths or objects.
Mechanics[edit]
It is impossible for any Pikmin to attack or latch onto a dried plant. However, if the player has a Red Pikmin holding a fire starter in standby, the cursor will be able to lock-on a bundle, after which the player can send the Pikmin towards it. When the fire starter touches the dried plant, it will be set on fire and quickly destroyed. This process destroys all other dried plants near it as well in a chain reaction – most notably spotted in the Dandori Battle: Hot Sandy Duel. Doing this does not use up the fire starter or decrease its timer.
If an enemy that is on fire, such as a Pyroclasmic Slooch, manages to touch a dried plant, the bundle will burn just like a fire starter.[3]
