The Scorchcake is an enemy found in ''Pikmin 4''. It will rotate 90 degrees, and then rotate another 90 degrees in an attempt to crush Pikmin. It has a side on its body which is firey, and any non-[[Red Pikmin]] or [[Oatchi]] will be burned if they touch it. Its body is soft, however, and can be damaged by regular Pikmin attacks.
