Hydroe bramble

Hydroe bramble in Bed of Fallen Leaves.

Since this subject has no official name, the name "Hydroe bramble" is conjectural.

The following contains spoilers about a recently released game. Particularly, spoilers about a detail of the final boss in Hey! Pikmin.

Hydroe bramble refers to weird green stalks with thorns that can be seen in some areas in Hey! Pikmin. These serve as obstacles that either block the player's path, or pose a passive threat, since the thorns on each kill any Pikmin that touch one, and will hurt Captain Olimar. Each one can have a different behavior, between staying stationary, advancing and stopping, or moving in and out of place, and each one can also move in a straight line or a curvy pattern.

Although their name and origin is never explained by the game, these plants become more common as the player approaches the later sectors, and in the final sector (The Final Stretch) and area (Fragment of Hope), there are several of them, they try to attack the S.S. Dolphin II's pod as it flies away, they block the path behind Olimar, closing him in to the arena in front of him, and are also very quick and aggressive. This, combined with the fact that the theme of the vines resembles the theme of the final boss, all hints that these brambles are controlled by the Berserk Leech Hydroe.

  Several brambles at the start of Olimar's Madcap Ride. They do not retract, and interestingly, leave a small safe spot.
