As they are typically in fully submerged [[water]], attacking them with the stab-immune [[Rock Pikmin]] is not always possible, needing [[Blue Pikmin]] to defeat them with extra caution. | The '''Pricklepuff''' ({{j|トゲハゼ|Toge Haze|Thorn Goby}}) is an aquatic enemy in {{p4}}.

If it is approached by the player and their [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], it swims over and attempts to impale them by extending the spikes on its front. It keeps the spikes out for about a second before retracting them; Pikmin that touch the spikes while they're out after the initial attack will simply be knocked away rather than being killed. It can kill up to 6 Pikmin in a single attack. | ||

You may charge the front of its face as well, since its attack takes a while to come out. However, be cautious while charging Pikmin at its face (especially if it spotted you before you charged) as it may unleash an attack before the Pikmin manage to get to it. This is almost guaranteed to skewer and kill several of your Pikmin as, while the charge up for the attack is quite long, the attack itself is near instant and covers a large amount of space in front of it. It will kill any Pikmin that was caught by the spikes. | ||
