Sporovid family

The sporovid family consists of fungus-like creatures.

Aggregating Poofspore


Aggregating Poofspores are harmless on their own but become very dangerous in groups. They can form a massive colony controlled by a Queen Poofspore.

Bioluminescent Puffstool


The Bioluminescent Puffstool is a glowing sporovid that is completely harmless and beneficial to keep alive.

Funghoul


The Funghoul is an elusive sporovid that, upon being seen, climbs to a high vantage point and stalks its prey for a while, eventually jumping down behind it. It lands with a soft "thud" and soon after charges at its prey, grabbing it and lighting it ablaze. It can be defeated in a single hit, but it always comes back. If killed, it collapses into spores and turns the ground around it into mycelium, which regrows into a new Funghoul soon after.

Glowling


Glowlings are small, slender sporovids that mimic the appearance of Common Glowcaps. It is completely harmless and will run away when approached.

Moldstool
The Moldstool is a close relative of the Puffstool that differentiates itself by having a warty green cap instead of a smooth red cap. They release mold that converts Pikmin into Moldmin upon contact. Although passive they will become more hostile when their health reaches certain increments.

Peacap Puffstalk


The Peacap Puffstalk is much like the Puffstalk but walks around instead of emerging from holes.

Plishroom
Plishrooms are sporovids that tackle Pikmin and leaders but are otherwise completely harmless. They are related to the Puffstool.

Powerstool


The Powerstool can use fire and electricity to defend itself from attackers. Like the Puffstool, it can turn Pikmin into Mushroom Pikmin, making it a formidable foe.

Puffair
Puffairs are airborne sporovids that can be used as platforms to reach higher areas or otherwise unreachable locations.

Puffire


The Puffire is a relative of the Puffstool that uses fire to repel its attackers and cannot infect Pikmin.

Puffrex
The Puffrex is a larger, more aggressive relative of the Puffstool. It has the ability to launch spore bombs that bounce around and eventually burst into a cloud of spores that can turn Pikmin into Mushroom Pikmin.

Puffstalk


The Puffstalk is a harmless creature that comes out of holes.

Puffstool


The Puffstool is a normally harmless boss that, when threatened, is capable of converting Pikmin into Mushroom Pikmin by releasing spores.
