The '''Ancient Sirehound''' is the final [[boss]] of {{p4}}. It is a giant space dog very similar to [[Oatchi]] and [[Moss]], speculated by [[Yonny]] and [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] to be the ancestor of all space dogs. They theorize that its descendents evolved to become smaller and were somehow dispersed across the universe, eventually becoming modern space dogs. | The '''Ancient Sirehound''' is the final [[boss]] of {{p4}}.

On the 20th sublevel of the [[Cavern for a King]], the Rescue Corps confronts Louie, who tells them to go home before he mounts the Ancient Sirehound and starts a boss battle. When defeated, the Ancient Sirehound loses consciousness and drops the [[Gift of Friendship]] and Louie, but quickly wakes up and runs away. | |||

The Sirehound will now begin to use a spread of five snowballs that bounce off of the walls (akin to those of an [[Arctic Cannon Larva]]) and a long-range ice breath attack; if it freezes Pikmin, it will follow up with a charge before eating the frozen Pikmin. While it will try to face the player when using the latter, it cannot turn very quickly and its tail can be pulled on as before. However, care should be taken in order to avoid being hit by stray snowballs. The Sirehound will use six, then seven, snowballs as its health decreases, and its ice breath rotation speed increases slightly. | The Sirehound will now begin to use a spread of five snowballs that bounce off of the walls (akin to those of an [[Arctic Cannon Larva]]) and a long-range ice breath attack; if it freezes Pikmin, it will follow up with a charge before eating the frozen Pikmin.

|common = Ancient Sirehound.
