Mold

Mold is a new hazard type appearing in an upcoming Fanon Game. It takes the form of a moss green powder like substance and affects all Pikmin except Cleaner Pikmin.

Mold is comparable and contrasting to Poison, like Poison they can take the form of Vents that the Pikmin immune to then can destroy (although Mold comes out of black vents while Poison comes out of tan vents). Unlike Poison which mainly suffocates Pikmin, Mold makes pikmin hostile and converts them into Moldmin.

Moldmin
Moldmin are the end results of Mold infecting Pikmin, they take the form of olive green Pikmin which is covered in a emerald green splotches, no matter the type of Pikmin infected with mold they have the same body structure, being squat mold covered Beings with another clump of mold on their stems.

Moldmin are incredibly Hostile to non Moldmin and will attack any Pikmin and/or Captain in their surroundings, the only Pikmin type they can't attack are Cleaner Pikmin who are immune to the mold and can purify the Moldmin back into Pikmin.

Moldmin will automatically die after two minuetes or if it happens in a cave when you leave the floor, if an enemy causes the Moldmin to spawn the timer wont start until the enemy is slain.

Trivia
Some enemies that use Mold to attack look like they are in control of the Mold as well while others appear that the Mold controls them.
