Hazard: Difference between revisions

In {{p4}}, mud is an environmental hazard seen only in the [[Primordial Thicket]], both above and below ground. Similar to water, it can inhabit large pools and be frozen with [[Ice Pikmin]] or [[ice blasts]]. Unlike water, leaders and [[Blue Pikmin]] are not naturally immune to it. Shallow mud can be traversed by all Pikmin types and leaders, with the only side effect being a reduced movement speed. Deep mud will cause leaders and non-Glow Pikmin to drown (but can still be whistled back to shore), although Ice Pikmin can float on top, unless in a panicked or shot with mud, in which they would drown, and [[Winged Pikmin]] will fly above it. The [[Muckerskate]] can also use mud as a projectile, and [[Bogswallow]]s are usually submerged in it unless trying to inhale nearby prey. The [[Gunk Busters]] upgrade allows leaders to walk through shallow mud unhindered.

The [[Ice-Cross Course]] [[Dandori Challenge]] contains a pool of shallow mud in the center, which the [[leafling]] recommends freezing with Ice Pikmin. In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], puddles of shallow mud are present in the [[Blossoming Arcadia]] where some water would be.
