In Pikmin: Decayed Leaf
The Pyro Phoenix is a large boss Flines Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The size of the Pyro is massive; being a bit larger than a Quaggled Mireclops. The creature is a ginormous bird, with orange feathers and dark red markings. The birds feathers are very long, with its crest being bushy and of a yellow coloring. The creature has a yellow beak, and red eyes with yellow pupils. Its main glaring design is the large bout of flames covering the entire birds body. Bits of lava and flame can be seen dripping off of the large creature. Far away, the Pyro Phoenix can be seen circling around its arena; giving the player a view of what they're about to fight. Once the captain enters the arena, the large bird will reveal itself; flying in front of the sun and diving down towards the Pikmin. It will fly a bit above them and let out a blaring screech; beginning the battle.

The Pyro Phoenix is one of the most difficult bosses in the game. Only Red Pikmin can harm it. The creature has a variety of horrific attacks at its arsenal. Its main attack is shooting out large balls of flame at the group. If the ball hits the ground, it will create a large pool of lava. Sometimes, the Phoenix may dive down at the group; spreading fire on the crowd and scooping up Pikmin to eat. It will fly low while eating, allowing for Pikmin to be thrown at the birds head to save the captured Pikmin. If enough Red Pikmin are thrown, the creature will fall down; allowing for attack. But be careful, as the Pyro Phoenix will begin to flap its wings to get back up; spouting bits of flame everywhere.

The Phoenix has other deadly attacks. The Phoenix will shoot a flame ball at the middle of the arena. It will then release four lines of flame aiming in the form of a plus sign; trapping the Pikmin into one segment of the arena. The flames will dissipate after 20 seconds. Along with this, the Phoenix will fly to one side of the arena; signifying its most deadly attack; it will burp out a large flame on half of the other arena grounds. Any non-Red Pikmin who are caught in the flame are guaranteed to perish.

If half of the Pyro Phoenix's health is drained; the creature will enter its second phase; its flame becoming blue. The Blue Phoenix is much faster, stronger, and deadlier. Its most deadly aspect is its blue flame. If the blue flame from a large attack like the fire wall, fire belching, or flame balls hit ANY type of Pikmin, they will be incinerated and killed instantly. If smaller bits of blue fire from moving around, diving, or flailing hit any Pikmin, it will light them up. However, when the Pyro Phoenix is eating, it will turn back to an orange hue; allowing for Red Pikmin to attack. Once the creature gets back up from an attack, its flames become blue again. Once its killed, the bosses flames extinguish.
