Freezecake

The Freezecake is a disc-shaped enemy in. On one side it has a hard blue carapace, while on the other side it is covered in an icy surface that can freeze Pikmin. It flips between these sides and can crush Pikmin while doing so.

Behavior
The Freezecake sits in silence until the player, Oatchi, or a Pikmin is near. While idle, it will stick out its eyes in an attempt to see prey. Once ready to attack it will flip on its side towards the prey, and after about 5 seconds it will slam into the ground, crushing and/or freezing anything below it based on which side it lands on. If it lands on the frozen side then it will emit a small burst of ice around it, freezing things too close to it. Upon death, it will spin around and land icy side up, with the ice thawing and becoming no longer a hazard. If it is attempting to flip sides when its health is depleted, then it wll do one final crush before spinning.

Appearance
The Freezecake is a cylindrical rock-covered mollusc-like creature with its underside being frozen over. It has green snail-like eyes that are able to retract and hide within its shell.

Locations
One Freezecake is located on the third sublevel of the Frozen Inferno, and another is located in the Strategic Freezeway Dandori Challenge.

Strategy
Altough they are rocks, the upperside of the Freezecake is soft and can be damaged by any Pikmin type or Oatchi, while the icy side is best damaged by a Thermal Defense-equipped Oatchi or Ice Pikmin. Once the Freezecake begins to flip itself over, call back any Pikmin attacking it to avoid unnecessary deaths. Charging and throwing Pikmin are both good methods to harm the creature. Be aware that, even after depleting its health, if the creature has already begun to flip, it can still crush Pikmin before becoming a corpse, and should be considered dangerous until it becomes one.
