In Pikmin: Neo
The Flashstool is a species of Sporovid appearing in Pikmin: Neo. They are thin, light blue mushrooms with glowing eye stalks. Like all members of the Sporovid family this species dwells in damp and dark areas, typically underground. Usually it is found in its lonesome absorbing nutrients from its surroundings, all the while various wildlife peacfully eat nearbye it. When it wants to change teitory it releases spores that contain a pheromone that causes all nearby animals to scatter away. After that the Flashstool wanders around and finds a new territory by tripping over and rooting itself into the ground. When rooted into the ground plants such as Spiderworts and Pellet Poseys won't grow and any nearby corpses will be absorbed by the Flashstool and cause it to grow and increase its total health. As such it should be defeated to better harvest the spoils of its habitat. Like the Spotstool this sporovid will quickly close its cap over its legs to eat any Pikmin underneath, unlike the Spotstool this action will cause it to heal itself meaning the best way to attack it is too do it when flipped over. When flipped over it sprrays and dimly lit cloud of spores around it which linger around the habitat. At any time the Flashstool can create a pulse making them flash into a great light which induces panic on every Pikmin type. When it is nearby panicking pikmin the Flashstool becomes faster and therefore eats Pikmin faster as a result. The best course of action against this creature is too bring Plasma Pikmin as they are immune to light based attacks and therefore only need to worry about getting eaten. It should be noted that like all members of the sporovid family it is immune to being poisoned by a White Pikmin so watch out for that.
