Floating Oobuoy

The Floating Oobuoy is an enemy that functions as both a hazard and a platform. Floating on the surface of a body of water with its wide, disc-shaped head, rows of Floating Oobuoys form bridges across the water for Pikmin and leaders to use. Most hang idly on the water, but some will drift back and forth, requiring good timing to get across safely. For Blue Pikmin swimming below, however, the Floating Oobuoy is a sneaky danger that will extend its uvula to devour Pikmin that try to walk underneath it. Simply throwing Pikmin at the underside of its body will temporarily immobilize it and allow safe passage. Thus, this enemy cannot be killed, only stunned.
