Cactus

Cactus plants usually appear as harmless scenery in desert areas, though in some games they can also be obstacles that can be interacted with. In this context, cacti generally appear as large, round plants covered in spines, though their appearance and size can vary greatly. If a Pikmin touches a cactus, it will be knocked away in pain and become reverted to its leaf state. Rock Pikmin and other Pikmin immune to stabbing are unharmed by cactus spines and can safely walk past them. Leaders will take a small amount of damage on contact with a cactus.
