Hanging Wiggler

The Hanging Wiggler is a worm-like species found exclusively in Pikmin Eco II, specifically within the Misty Roots as the iconic enemy against Green Pikmin. It has a long thin body to mimic the vines within the area, and is always found hanging upside down from the canopy above. Part of its body is always hidden from view, only leaving the curved snout visible from the ground looking up.

It appears similarly to average swinging vines found throughout the area, indistinguishable from a regular vine with the exception of its small eyes. Technically speaking they aren't as dangerous as typical enemies, as in they don't actively hunt Pikmin, but they will begin to recoil upon sensing something hanging onto its snout. The player can still swing off of a Hanging Wiggler, but if any Pikmin stays on for too long, it will pull them out of sight and consume them.
