Spiny Scatterpod

The Spiny Scatterpod is a species of Scatterweed appearing in Pikmin: Spark. They take the appearance of a large flowering cactus-like flower, with multiple flowering pods of reds and yellows. Dwelling in deserts they are weeds draining the surrounding area of water meaning Burgeoning Spiderwort flowers won't grow in these areas. To protect itself from intruders of its territory it rapidly scatters needles onto the ground. These needles not only impale targets but also act as walls preventing the target from escaping. When the target can't escape it lobs an explosive seed pod onto the victim to finish it off. As a tip of the precaution bring Rock Pikmin to handle the crystal-like spines blocking your way and Goo Pikmin to take care of the explosive pods.
