Scatterstool

Scatterstools are found in with their body partially buried in the ground. If Pikmin come close to one, it will jump out of the ground and attempt to flee, however it is easily killed. A direct hit on its cap while it is escaping or buried will cause it to burst instantly, leaving the body lying on the ground while several small spores launch out, which eventually grow into smaller copies of itself. If one escapes into water, it will proceed to swim onto the surface of the water, and since it is not touching a solid surface, a hit from a Pikmin will do nothing to it, only knocking it away. In this case, it should be knocked towards the land repeatedly, where it can be crushed. Hazards can destroy the spores before they turn into more of an annoyance.
