In Pikmin Evolution
The Rottenweiler is a species of beasthound appearing in Pikmin Evolution. It is a two-legged, olive green canine-like creature with dull purple fangs, as well as having the facial structure of a dog. It is notable from other members of its species due to the lack of a long tail, rather the tail is a small nub, too small to be any use for the hound, essentially being a vestigial part of their body. The Rottenweiler dwells in the harsh wastelands of the world, where only the most hardy of creatures can survive. The Rottenweiler is one such creature, as it has adapted to drink from the many acid pools dotting the area, this leaves it completely immune to damage from acidic substances, allowing it to safely walk in acidic lakes and eat acidic creatures such as the Germ Pikmin without issue. The side effect to this however is that the minerals that form acid get caked onto the hound's pelt, which causes mushrooms to grow on their backsides due to now being the perfect place to cultivate. Unlike other mushroom-based enemies, the Rottenweiler isn't controlled by the mushrooms on the back, rather the Rottenweiler is the one in control. It can scatter the mushrooms on its back, which land on the ground and grow in Glueshrooms which then spread sticky mold onto the ground. However that isn't the only side effect of eating an acidic diet that the Rottenweiler uses to its advantage, you see all that acid in the dog's stomach causes it to have gas problems, meaning it regularly flatulates all the toxic gas out of its system. This either results in it shoot a cone of poison gas from its mouth which can cause any creature who enters the cone to suffocate and die from the noxious fumes, or the beasthound can flatulate a giant cloud of lingering poison gas that lasts quite a while before dissipating in the air. This gas is so putrid that plants wither from the fumes and it is capable of instantly killing any small creatures such as Shearwigs due to not handling the sulfurous gasses. To any Pikmin who enters it however they will just run around and scatter as the poison overtakes them, just like any poison-based enemy. This discounts the Rottenweiler's standard canine battle tactics of eating Pikmin that are in front of its face with its fangs, and since its already immune to the acidic taste of Germ Pikmin its a very internally hardy creature. The main weakness this time is the behind as the lack of a large tail allows you to attack it without the risk of being swiped off by said tail, so you should be focusing your offenses in that area. The mushrooms should be avoided as if they are destroyed they will release a panic-inducing gas that will scatter anyone who was attacking the hound, and that is not accounting the powerful howling attack the Rottenweiler can perform already. Really the best course of action is to remove the mushrooms as those are covering the more softer sides of the creature. Like all fungi, or plants for that matter, it is weak to being burned, so throwing a flaming red syrup is smart as that incinerates and removes all the mushrooms off one side of the Rottenweiler. This means using two syrups will completely leaves the Rottenweiler naked, leaving it much weaker defensivly as the sides take twice the damage than the back. Since there is a large amount of poison involved, Roach Pikmin are very smart options when fighting this creature as they just need to worry about the eating attack. Still their weakness to the acid that makes up the Rottenweiler's habitat means they should still be careful when facing off this mangey mutt.
