[[File:00RevealedSegment.png|thumb|left|The segment of the creature after destroying the Crystal Nodule protecting it.]]At first, this creature will be submerged underground with only the top of its body exposed. Upon initial approach, it will rise out of the ground and begin stomping around. At this point, its large, fleshy "hooves" are its main weak point; throw Pikmin at these hooves and they will attack them, causing them to turn red. When they become bright red, the collosal creature will fall over and become stunned. During this time, the top of the creature will be accessable, so use your [[Rock Pikmin]] to break away the crystal on top.

After it breaks, the beast's vulnerable bulb will be exposed. Continue this process to attack the creature's bulb. However, standing on top of the creature will cause it to retaliate by lashing out its massive, colorful tongue to eat many Pikmin at once. It is recommended to use most of your [[Blue Pikmin]] combined with the Ultra Spicy Spray at this stage in the battle, since they cannot be drowned in the water, or [[Winged Pikmin]] to attack the bulb when it rises up off the muddy terrain it is fought in.
