Chrysanthemum family

The chrysanthemum family consists of few plants, but many creatures that disguise as vegetation. This family is based on the real-life, although very few of the family's members have anything to do with it.

Anode Chrysanthemum
It is much like a Creeping Chrysanthemum except it has a yellow body and a purple head. It will try to eat Pikmin that are close enough to it, and it may also electrocute Pikmin it misses when attacking.

Aquatic Chrysanthemum
It is much like a Creeping Chrysanthemum, except for its blue body and turquoise head. It will not only try to eat Pikmin but also try to drown them by spraying water from its mouth. Blue Pikmin are pushed back slightly, but are otherwise unaffected, by this attack.

Burrowing Chrysanthemum Beetle
They are about the size of a dwarf bulborb and move relatively slowly, but can eat Pikmin at a rapid pace. They cannot shake Pikmin off of themselves and are helpless when outnumbered. Upon defeat, the Burrowing Chrysanthemum Beetle will shudder for a few seconds before exploding with the power of a bomb-rock.

Bludgeoning Chryswart
Mimicking the Burgeoning Spiderwort, this member of the Chrysanthemum Family uses its Club-Like head to crush Pikmin. It has great vision, sporting 5, beady eyes, resembling Ultra-Spicy Berries.

Cactus Riser
The Cactus Rider is a species of Chrysanthemum that disguises itself as a cactus. The cactus is used to skewer Pikmin with its needles.

Carnivorous Chrysanthemum
The Carnivorous Chrysanthemum is a relative of the Creeping Chrysanthemum that also mimics the Margaret. In place of the part in the center of the petals is a small mouth that the Carnivorous Chrysanthemum uses to discreetly eat nearby Pikmin.

Chemical Chrysanthemum
The Chemical Chrysanthemum is a relative of the Creeping Chrysanthemum that uses poison and acid to deter its attackers. It has a violet body and a blue head. The Chemical Chrysanthemum behaves similarly to its relatives but relies on poison gas and acid to attack Pikmin instead of merely eating them.

Creeping Bomberry
The Creeping Bomberry, also known as the Bombardier Chrysanthemum is a rather rare enemy that mimics the Bomberry Bush. It can eat Pikmin, but it also can create bomb-rocks and toss them all over the place.

Creeping Chrycooleum
The Creeping Chrycooleum is a chrysanthemum that is notable for its lethality against all Pikmin types. The creature's appearance and behavior are comparable to the Creeping Chrysanthemum's, but the two differ in that the Creeping Chrycooleum can exhale a deadly blue mist while the Creeping Chrysanthemum cannot.

Creeping Chrysanthemum
The Creeping Chrysanthemum is a carnivorous member of the chrysanthemum family. It is a large plant-like creature with a red mouth, two eyes on its shoulders disguised as flowers, and two arm-like tentacles that it uses to move around. This creature disguises itself as a Margaret, rising up out of the ground and attacking prey that ventures near; as such, they are often found near real Margarets. It can be distinguished from a Margaret because its eyes are visible when camouflaged.

Creeping Glowcap
The Creeping Glowcap looks exactly like the Creeping Chrysanthemum except that it has a light blue body and green mouth. Instead of disguising as the Margaret, it will hide as the Common Glowcap.

Creeping Nettlenatter
The Creeping Nettlenatter at first glance appears to be nothing more than a bundle of brambles; however, when approached, it will reveal a claw-like mouth on a long neck and begins to slowly slither after the player and their Pikmin in a strafing motion.

Crimson Runbulb
Crimson Runblubs are small creatures, and are the larval form of the Creeping Chrysanthemum. It appears to simply be the remains of a defeated Creeping Chrysanthemum, but when approached, a Crimson Runblub stands up on its five scrawny, root-like legs, revealing its true identity.

Easter Chrysanthemum
The Easter Chrysanthemum is a greenish yellow hued version of the regular Chrysanthemum. It is noticeably more stronger than the original.

Enraged Chrysanthemum
It is exactly like a Creeping Chrysanthemum except it has red skin and a green head. It will try to eat your Pikmin and also try to burn them by spewing fire from its mouth. Red Pikmin are unaffected by this attack.

Flytrap Chrysanthemum
The Flytrap Chrysanthemum is a carnivorous plant, and believed descendent of the Creeping Chrysanthemum. It resembles the Creeping Chrysanthemum in multiple asspects, but it lacks any flowers and its mouth is fully exposed rather than hidden. It's under body is yellowish in color, and its mouth is dark grey.

Frosty Chrysanthemum
It is like a Creeping Chrysanthemum except it has light blue skin and a magenta head. It can freeze Pikmin by breathing cold air at them and eat them while they're frozen.

Giga Peeking Pelletonium
The Giga Peeking Pelletonium serves as a boss and is found at the Ancient Valley. Although it may look like an extremely rare subspecies of Pellet Posy, in truth, it's actually a member of the chrysanthemum family. Specifically, it is an overgrown Peeking Pelletonium. Battles against the Giga Peeking Pelletonium can be challenging not only because of its attacks but also because the pellet on its head changes color every ten seconds. The color of the pellet has no impact on the battle, affecting only the matching color bonus in Pikmin propagation.

Margaret
Margarets are yellow, dandelion-like plants. They tend to grow in bright places. Creeping Chrysanthemums are often found where there are many of these plants.

Oily Chrysanthemum
The Oily Chrysanthemum is a rather rare variant of the Creeping Chrysanthemum. It has a bright red body and has oil covering its head. It attacks like a Creeping Chrysanthemum, but if it smacks itself trying to eat Pikmin, it splatters puddles of oil all around it.

Peeking Pelletonium
It resembles a Pellet Posy, accurately mimicking the plant and its ability to change color. However, the pellet's color is less saturated than a real one's is. The Peeking Pelletonium's true form has the bulbous body of the Creeping Chrysanthemum, dark blue instead of green. It also has three eyes, two extra arms, and a mouth on the fake pellet.

Palm Tree Pine
The Palm Tree Pine is a relative of the Creeping Chrysanthemum. It however, disguises itself as a palm tree to trick its prey.

Pellet Poser
The Pellet Poser is a variant of the Chrysanthemum; but uses Pellet Posies to disguise itself instead of the usual Margaret.

Rising Pine
The Rising Pine is a member of the chrysanthemum family that is covered in pine needles that can skewer Pikmin that touch them. Only Rock Pikmin can harm it.

Screeching Chrysanthemum
It looks exactly like a Creeping Chrysanthemum except that it has a blue body and pink head. This type of Chrysanthemum will screech at Pikmin and knock them over. Its screech is significantly weaker than the Screeching Blowhog's and sounds more like someone scratching a chalkboard.

Seeding Chrysanthemum
The Seeding Chrysanthemum is a mutated form of the Creeping Chrysanthemum. It lacks a proper mouth, and so it is unable to eat Pikmin. It can crush them, however. The Seeding Chrysanthemum can also summon Burrowing Chrysanthemum Beetles, which emerge from the ground around the creature and attack nearby leaders and Pikmin.

Sneaking Chrysanthemum
The Sneaking Chrysanthemum is a relative of the Creeping Chrysanthemum, and instead of disguising itself as a Margaret, it disguises itself as a Withered Margaret. Sneaking Chrysanthemums are impatient creatures, and while disguised they slowly move along the ground towards nearby Pikmin.

Snoozing Chrysanthemum
The Snoozing Chrysanthemum is a younger form of the Snoring Chrysanthemum. It is never seen burrowed into the ground. Often surrounding it is a shroud of black and red smog that puts to sleep any Pikmin that walks into it, and these Pikmin are often crushed by the creature as it walks over them.

Snoring Chrysanthemum
The Snoring Chrysanthemum is a relative of the Creeping Chrysanthemum and is the mature version of the Snoozing Chrysanthemum. It normally disguises as a Blue Margaret when waiting for prey, but sometimes it can be found sleeping above ground.

Sticky Chrysanthemum
It is exactly like a Creeping Chrysanthemum except it is gray and white. It will try to eat your Pikmin and also try to get them stuck in its sticky secretions. If hit, they will vulnerable to the Chrysanthemum's and other enemies' attacks.
