Frosted Arcticlops

The Frosted Arcticlops is a large continentia that serves as the major boss of Frigid Tundra in Pikmin: Wide World. Instead of reacting upon its prey, such as Olimar, Shacho, Marie, and their Pikmin, entering its territory, the Frosted Arcticlops instead waits for them to take action against it first. Damaging the large ice chunks on its head enough to free one of the creature's eyes will trigger a cutscene of it unearthing itself and standing up, revealing its entire body and leaving a massive crater in its place in the center of its arena. While the Frosted Arcticlops rises, the leaders and their Pikmin will flee to the arena's entrance and watch the behemoth awaken from a safe distance. After standing up, the Frosted Arcticlops will stamp its three feet a few times, and then shake a massive amount of snow off of itself whilst roaring and peering at its prey. After this, the cutscene ends and the battle begins. The ice covering portions of the Frosted Arcticlops's body can be destroyed with Rock Pikmin, which are usually necessary to battle the creature with, but the task can also be accomplished using rocks. Bomb rocks can be used to completely and instantly destroy the ice encasing the Frosted Arcticlops's head and hooves, and they are required to fight the creature in The Frosted Arcticlops Remix as Rock Pikmin nor rocks are available there. Purple Pikmin can not be thrown high enough to pound on the ice crystals to damage them. Sustained contact with the snow and ice present on the Frosted Arcticlops will chill and eventually freeze leaders and their Pikmin unless the Pocket Radiator has been collected and equipped by at least one of the leaders.

The Frosted Arcticlops has a wide array of attacks its chooses from at random.

While it is partially embedded into the ground, the Frosted Arcticlops resembles little more than a massive pile of snow with a purple, thorny fruit encased in ice crystals atop it. Likewise, its three gray-brown legs resemble thick, gnarled roots that are partially exposed to open air.
