The Pyroplasmic Slooch is an enemy featured in Pikmin 3, first seen at Nintendo's E3. It is resembles a black slug-like creature with yellow light pulsing down its 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 shrink.

The Pyroplasmic Slooch will sometimes act as a hazard. By leaving trails of fire, it will now block areas for non-red pikmin which will only be accesable if they are defeated by red pikmin.  It takes 3 Pikmin to carry and is worth 15 Pokos.
