It is first seen by [[Louie]], who tries to escape the Koppaites after they capture him. He is then swallowed by the creature along with a [[Wayward Moon]] he found, and both get spit out when the explorers defeat it. | ||

It walks around much like creatures from the [[arachnorb family]]. When first found, the boss' only vulnerable part – its plant-like bulb near its teapot-like mouth – is encased in a [[crystal]] (called a "Mireclops crystal"), which must be broken by [[Rock Pikmin]]. When the boss stomps on the muddy terrain that makes up its entire arena, it leaves a depression that is filled with water, presenting the threat of drowning to any non-Blue Pikmin. | ||
This is the first ever ''Pikmin'' enemy whose remains become a permanent part of the environment after death. If the player returns to its arena the following day after the creature has been killed, a garden of assorted [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] will be found growing on its body. This will also become the only area in story mode where the player can encounter [[Red Spectralid]]s. Some of the pellets may appear in [[Pellet#Other colors|abnormal colors]]. | This is the first ever ''Pikmin'' enemy whose remains become a permanent part of the environment after death.
