-The '''Creeping Chrysanthemum''' ({{j|びっくり菊|Bikkuri Kiku|Surprising Chrysanthemum}}) is an enemy in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. When dormant, it greatly resembles the large yellow flowers known as the [[Margaret]] used for level scenery. It can be told apart from the normal flowers, as it has one less flower, no leaves on the "stem", a slightly visible pattern on the stem, and the large flowers have the Chrysanthemum's eyes visible.

-When [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or the leaders get close, it will spring out of the ground, revealing its root-arms, its bulbous body, and its gigantic mouth that emerges from its tallest flower. It moves moderately slowly, and will return to its original spot if left alone for a while. It replants itself by standing above the spot where it originally came from and sucking itself into the ground until only the "flowers" remain. This enemy cannot be [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] while it is in the ground.
-The Chrysanthemum was heavily redesigned in ''Pikmin 4''. It now has white flowers, its mouth is at the top of its body instead of on a stalk, it has a large tongue which it launches to attack and its arms have been replaced with frog-like legs. When it launches its tongue and misses it will take a while to retrieve the tongue.

+Like Pikmin, the Creeping Chrysanthemum is a member of a group of creatures with ambulatory root structures.
+This creature is known as a "mimic," but because it is actually a form of plant, this label is not entirely accurate.
+It uses its mimicry to lie in wait and ambush prey, unrecognized even by Pikmin despite being members of the same class of organisms.
+It relies on preying upon other creatures to provide sustenance, so it has no need of leaves for photosynthesis.
+Generally speaking, the role of plants within an ecosystem is as a producer species, and thus plants are generally found at the bottom of the food pyramid. However, on this strange planet, the line between producer plants and consumer plants is blurred.|block=y}}

-Following the redesign, the Chrysanthemum now has a frog-like tounge to eat Pikmin. It is recommended to ride [[Oatchi]] to prevent Pikmin loss. Circle around the Chrysanthemum and rush into it. Alternatively, you can have it eat a Bomb Rock.
+Creeping Chrysanthemums are arguably a lot harder to spot than they were in ''Pikmin 2'' because their eyes no longer glow and they typically keep their eyelids shut. An easy way to tell a Creeping Crystanthemum from a normal flower is to look at the yellow centre of the flower. Creeping Chrysanthemums have a small slit in the centre where their eyelids are and are smoothly textured instead of having visable anthers. Quick reaction times on the whistle can also prevent any casualties if caught off guard.
+Following the redesign, the Chrysanthemum now has a frog-like tounge to eat Pikmin. [[Purple Pikmin]] deal especially large amounts of damage to this enemy with their impacts, and [[Winged Pikmin]] can fly above this enemy's tongue, but it is unlikely the player will have access to these types while fighting the beast. Instead, it is recommended to ride [[Oatchi]] to prevent Pikmin loss. Circle around the Chrysanthemum and rush into it from behind. Using a good amount of [[Red Pikmin]] or [[Rock Pikmin]] is recommended, since these can add some extra damage to a charge and prevent an unnecessarily lengthened fight. [[Ice Pikmin]] are also good to stop the enemy from reacting to your onslaught.
+Alternatively, a single [[bomb rock]] is enough to put an end to this beast, even if it is hiding in the ground.
