=== Dalmo's Notes ===
{{Transcript|The mucus of the Pyroclasmic slooch acts as a natural fire starter, but it also seems to serve as an insulation from heat. Gazing into those flickering flames at night would be a great way to relax! And the ripple pattern going from top to bottom is so mesmerizing!}}

{{transcript|
炎で身を守る、陸棲の巻貝の仲間。殻を持たない代わりに、体表面を可燃性の粘液で覆って着火する。完全に鎮火してしまうと、再度火を起こすのに半日以上を要する。
特徴 その1 炎で身を守る
:炎で外敵から身を守っている。絶えず放出される粘液が断熱材の役割を果たして、体内には熱が伝わることはない。
:(Image text: 通った跡は、しばらく燃え続ける)
特徴 その2 長い舌
:長い舌で獲物をからめとる。

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
A terrestrial snail that defends itself with flames. It has no shell, but instead ignites by covering the surface of its body with a flammable mucus. Once the fire is completely extinguished, it takes more than half a day to reignite.
Feature #1: Protecting itself with flames
:It protects itself from enemies with flames. The mucus that is constantly secreted acts as a heat insulator, and heat is not transmitted inside the body.
:(Image text: "The trail it passed through continues to burn for some time")
Feature #2: Long tongue
:It uses its long tongue to catch prey.
:(Image text: "The color of the tongue is blue")

The Slooch is easy prey for [[Red Pikmin]]. Due to the creature's low speed and incredibly weak defense, you can take it out with ease with only a few Red Pikmin. It may try to shake them off, but it will likely not succeed in this provided you have at least five Pikmin on the creature, and if you swarm it with a group of 10 or more, it will likely not even be able to begin this animation. Provided you have Red Pikmin with you, its best to defeat any Pyroclasmic Slooch the first time you see it, as overlooking it may result in it catching a few Pikmin as you pass by or its fire trail later harming Pikmin on their way back to the [[Onion]].

Other types of Pikmin [[#Glitch|can actually attack the creature]] if they latch on to some points of its body. [[Rock Pikmin]] will also cause impact damage if thrown at it, however they must be [[Whistle|called back]] before burning to death.

The [[leader]]s can actually damage the Slooch, however, you must position yourself just right; the punch range is short, but getting too close will result in a damaging burn, provided you don't have the [[Scorch Guard]]. If done correctly, you can defeat a Pyroclasmic Slooch relatively quickly with only leaders, due to its few hit points.

Also, if a Slooch goes in some [[water]] (for example, the puddles near the [[bamboo gate]] in the [[Distant Tundra]]), its fire will go out, allowing all Pikmin types to attack it more easily. It will only return to its fiery state if it touches the flames left behind by other Pyroclasmic Slooches. Touching a [[fire geyser]] will not restore its fire.
Also, if a Slooch goes in some [[water]] (for example, the puddles near the [[bamboo gate]] in the [[Distant Tundra]]), its fire will go out, allowing all Pikmin types to attack it more easily. In ''Pikmin 3'' only, they will not regain their flame without touching another fire hazard (which includes other on-fire Pyroclasmic Slooches); this is not true in ''Pikmin 4'', where the creature will reignite itself after a few seconds of extinguishment. Touching a [[fire geyser]] will restore its fire.
