In Pikmin: Corporate Combat
Polypous Prowlers are enemies in Pikmin: Corporate Combat. They are large, four-legged creatures that resemble real-world s, with thick, white skin, a tangle of necks tipped with red claws, and several pink glowing polyps on their skin. Polypous Prowlers freely move about an area and also revive minutes after defeat. Their primary and only major attack is lashing out at Pikmin with their heads, swallowing them on contact. Due to their abundance of heads, they can eat many Pikmin at once if given the chance. Their bodies are impervious to damage, but they can be killed by popping the polyps on their skin. Popping the polyps will inflict much damage to the Polypous Prowler, which will die after four polyps are popped. They slowly regenerate after they die, and when they get back up, their polyps regrow. Polypous Prowlers are slightly larger in size than enemies such as Red Bulborbs and Gatling Groinks. Any Pikmin can be used to strike the polyps, but a leader may find it helpful to attack it with a smaller group of Pikmin as opposed to a larger one; that way, the Polypous Prowler is less likely to eat a large number of Pikmin should the battle go awry.

In Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers
In Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers, Polypous Prowlers function similarly to their Pikmin: Corporate Combat incarnation, with the main difference being that they do not revive, and all their polyps pop upon their death.
