Pyroclasmic Slooch

The Pyroclasmic Slooch is a slug-like creature that is covered in a combustible slime and leaves behind a dangerous trail of fire as it moves. In addition to burning Pikmin, it can also eat them. While extinguished, such as from water, it can be touched safely and can not produce a trail of fire until it contacts another fire source to reignite it. When killed, the slooch ceases to burn, allowing all types of Pikmin to carry it.

In Pikmin Eco
The Pyroclasmic Slooch appears in Pikmin Eco after completing story mode, making it a post-story enemy.

In Pikmin: Decayed Leaf
The Pyroclasmic Slooch is a returning enemy in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The Slooch retains its usual appearance and behaviors. The creature will move around in a small spot, creating a trail of fire wherever it goes. The fire will extinguish after a few seconds of being produced. However, the slug can not produce fire while in water, as its flames will be extinguished. The best way to take down this creature is with Red Pikmin, though Blue Pikmin can also kill it if the creature is in the water. If attacked or near Pikmin, the Slooch will attempt to slurp them up with its large tongue.
