Burr Pikmin

Burr Pikmin are the second-to-last Pikmin type found in Pikmin X: Deep Freeze. They are discovered in the Vengeful Thicket. Though they are small and deal below-average damage to enemies, they are covered in sharp orange thorns which make them deal some extra impact damage when grabbing onto an enemy. The thorns also make them pop bubbles on contact, such as those from the Waddlepus and the Oozing Capsnider.

The spiny bodies of Burr Pikmin make it difficult for enemies to shake them off; when an enemy flicks, there is a roughly 30% chance that a Burr Pikmin will stay attached. Furthermore, Burr Pikmin are resistant to lubricant and can grab onto objects and enemies that are otherwise too slick for other Pikmin to get a hold of. For instance, Burr Pikmin are the only Pikmin that can climb across wet vines because they are undeterred by the plant's slippery outer layer.
