Barrel-Splattering Vinebhore

The Barrel-splattering Vinebhore is a species of chrysanthemum that disguises itself as an oil barrel around pools of lubricant; preying on Pikmin who get too close with their large vines.

In Pikmin: Decayed Leaf
The Barrel-splattering Vinebhore is a new creature discovered in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The creature looks like a large, red barrel of oil with a yellow caution sign painted on the front of the barrel. The Vinebhore can usually be found around said oil barrels, but they are mainly found nearby or inside of pools of oil.

The Vinebhore waits for Pikmin to get close. Once they do, the creature will begin to shake for a few seconds before two, large, dark green vines covered in oil erupt from the ground. They will snatch up to four Pikmin; two in each hand. Once they do, the Vinebhore will squeeze them extremely hard; killing the Pikmin in the process. Another attack is the Vinebhore poking extremely quickly at the squad with its vines; similar to a Plasm Wraith. Rock Pikmin and Weighted Pikmin are immune to this attack. The only way to defeat this creature is by attacking the oil barrel in the middle. The best way to do this is by baiting the creature into damaging itself. Running around the barrel will cause the creature to lash its vines at its barrel; damaging it. Alternatively, Iguana Pikmin can attack the barrel from a safe distance. If enough damage is dealt, the barrel will explode, the vines will retract underground, and a dark green Chrysanthemum mouth will pop out of the barrel; signifying the creatures death. Oil Pikmin will usually be needed to carry the loot out of the oil pool.
