Molten Stingroid

The Molten Stingroid is a stingroid that appears in Pikmin: New World. It is the replacement for the mostly-extinct dweevil family after the events of . The stingroid family is a large family of flying, tail-whipping predators that actively attack and kill their prey. Each Stingroid has virtually the same body shape: a triangular, ray-shaped body with a long tail, eyes at its middle, and virtually no obvious traits of a head, limb, or mouth. Its body is also made up of different segments, like an earthworm, to which Olimar believes it is related. There are virtually no distinguishing traits of this species except for its red coloration. This species will go up in flames if threatened and will slam its tail into the ground at its attackers, setting the ground on fire. This attack is fairly effective and often burns large amounts of Pikmin. To defeat it, throw Red Pikmin on top of it until it is rendered incapacitated. Continue throwing Pikmin at it and it will die sooner or later.
