The Pyroplasmic Slooch is an enemy featured in Pikmin 3, first seen at Nintendo's E3. It takes 3 Pikmin to carry and is worth 15 Pokos. It is resembles a black slug-like creature with yellow light pulsing down it's body. It is somewhat cone-shaped with two small antennae at its tip. It cloaks itself in flames which will set any non resistant Pikmin on fire if they make contact with it. It moves rather slowly, leaving a flaming trail behind it that can further ignite pikmin. Its face consists of two small eye stalks, and a long grey-blue tongue which it can lash out to snatch Pikmin from a medium range. It is only hurt by Red Pikmin, because they are immune to fire. While a Rock Pikmin's initial thump can damage it, they will quickly catch on fire. When killed, their flaming bodies extinguish, and they shrink.
Trivia
- It was hinted that Pikmin 3 was to have magma hazards. The Slooch looks like it would be a plasma-based enemy if anything, but since Red Pikmin can attack it without taking damage (other than being eaten), it is not likely that magma will be a hazard in Pikmin 3.
- It is possible that the name may be a pun of a pyroclastic flow, a fast moving current of hot gas or rock commonly found in volcanoes. This would make sense as these appear to be made of magma.
