Radiation

Radiation is a hazard that takes the form of green, glowing energy that can be infused into enemies and objects merely by prolonged exposure. Its lethality varies, as it is instantly fatal upon exposure in some games and as dangerous as other hazards in others. Exposure to radiation can cause extreme damage to living creatures, and sometimes it can even induce mutations. Some, but not all, Pikmin that are resistant to radiation include Green Pikmin and Rust Pikmin.
