Viridian Kroopus

The Viridian Kroopus is an uncommon enemy found in Pikmin: Shadows of the Future. It resembles a green octopus with a small flower on the tip of each tentacle and one large flower on the top of its head. It initially stays partially rooted in the ground, with all eight tentacles sticking upright out of the soil. When approached, it emerges and circles around the closest captain or Pikmin. It will periodically blast jets of air from its rotating flower fans to deflower Pikmin, and can also blow them away with a large gust from its head flower. If all else fails, it will devour two to five Pikmin at a time by jumping on them.

When defeated, it makes a comical honking noise and falls to the floor. Be careful, as this enemy can revive itself after being defeated.
