In Pikmin: New World
Crimson Runblubs are small chrysanthemums appearing in Pikmin: New World as the larval form of the Creeping Chrysanthemum. It initially appears to simply be the remains of a defeated Creeping Chrysanthemum, but when approached, a Crimson Runblub stands up on its five scrawny, root-like legs, revealing its true identity. It will then scuttle towards nearby Pikmin, picking them up with its tendrils and dropping them into its mouth. When leaders approach the Crimson Runblubs, however, it will quickly flee to evade them, making it difficult to attack. Because the legs of a Crimson Runblub are immune to attack, Pikmin must be thrown onto the side of the creature's head to damage the creature. Throwing Pikmin onto the top of its head will most likely result in them being eaten. The perfect time to attack a Crimson Runblub is when it is fleeing, as they are completely off-guard at the time and their defense is extremely minimal. Purple Pikmin, Red Pikmin, or Olive Pikmin are the three recommended types for beating this relatively easy-to-defeat enemy.
