In Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers
The Subterranean Spurdulum is a plant in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers. It appears as a dangling vine holding a cluster of yellow berries similar to grapes. However, half of the berries have black thorns jutting out of them, while the other half is bare. It is in the Tempustle family, which is actually meant to be the real world. The Dawn Pustules and Dusk Pustules are also meant to be in this family, as they are types of grapes.

Subterranean Spurdulums dangle in the center of enclosed areas filled with enemies. Pikmin cannot be thrown at the spiked side, or else they'll be stunned from the pain of the thorns. If they're thrown at the bare side, the fruit will begin swinging around in a circular motion. Throwing more Pikmin onto this side will cause its momentum to increase, increasing its range and speed. When it hits an enemy, it will be damaged and most likely killed. However, Pikmin will be impaled if they're hit by the Subterranean Spurdulum as it swings around. Furthermore, everytime the cluster hits an enemy, some of its spiked berries will fall off. These berries can become hazardous, stunning Pikmin that passively touch it and outright stabbing them if they're thrown onto it. Despite this, it's a simple matter to destroy them, namely with Rock Pikmin or fire. Certain enemies can also destroy loose berries via crushing, usually harming themselves in the process.

Once all the spiked berries fall of, the vine will lose all of its momentum, and the bare berries will fall off, along with whatever Pikmin were on them, and splatter onto the ground. The vine will then dangle in its original position, incapable of being interacted with anymore.
