In Pikmin 2... Again?
The Sporestool is a sporovid in Pikmin 2... Again? that is much smaller and shorter than the Puffstool, its legs visible under its mushroom cap-like head. When attacked, it releases spores around itself, turning Pikmin into Mushroom Pikmin. It doesn't need to be flipped to be damaged as it is so tender.
