Wickweed

The Wickweed is a small plant that grows in patches. It can be handled by Pikmin, and when struck against a surface, quickly ignites.

In Pikmin X: Deep Freeze
Wickweed plants grow in some areas of Pikmin X: Deep Freeze. The developing buds of this plant generate immense amounts of energy from within, which causes them to illuminate at night and attract nocturnal insect pollinators. To deter predators, the buds combust when broken, a trait that can be used advantageously. A patch of Wickweed will generally have up to ten buds growing atop it that Pikmin can carry and deploy much like they can bomb rocks. Once set by a Pikmin, a Wickweed bud will carpet a small area around itself with fire after a few seconds. This does not deal explosion damage and deals less instant damage than a bomb rock, but the fire lingers for a decent amount of time and deals small amounts of damage to enemies within its range over time. Any Pikmin can carry Wickweed buds, but Red Pikmin are strongly recommended as the resulting fire can harm other Pikmin types. Wickweed buds can be used to destroy certain obstacles such as brambled gates and ice blockades.
