The '''Pyroclasmic Slooch''' ({{j|カジオコシ|Kaji Okoshi|Fire Hazard Starter}}) is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is a slug-like creature that leaves behind a dangerous trail of [[fire]]. They are black in appearance, with stripes of yellow-reddish gradient looping around their body in a pattern resembling that of flowing lava. They have two antennae near the top of their cone-shaped bodies. The Pyroclasmic Slooch is also covered in a combustible slime which it leaves behind as it moves. When killed, the Slooch shrinks considerably and loses its bright red stripes. It will also cease to burn, allowing all types of Pikmin to carry it.
