In Pikmin: Spark
The Spotstool is a sporovid miniboss appearing in Pikmin: Spark. Found in dens, they have a red cap featuring large, pale, fleshy lumps, giving them the appearance of a Kingcap. They appear to be quite clumsy creatures as they move in an awkward waddle and trip quite frequently, characteristics that belie so dangerous a predator. After getting up from tripping, it closes its large cap and traps anything inside for consumption. The creature has little vitality but is not easy to take down as it splits into three smaller versions of itself when damaged enough. These smaller Spotstools act as smaller and faster versions of the original Spotstool and also split into three even smaller Spotstools under the same conditions. Upon death, the smallest Spotstools either disintegrate completely or leave behind recoverable remains. The final one killed drops the Tangy Capsule, a container of garlic powder worth, is dropped.

In Ultra-Spicy Mode, after being split, Spotstools of the same size eventually merge into a full Spotstool if not split again soon enough. Two split Spotstools can merge if the third is split, forming a full-size Spotstool that splits into three smaller Spotstools, meaning its spoils may be harvested indefinitely.
