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 boosted damage at the very moment of latching onto an enemy. Their spiny bodies also make it difficult for enemies to shake them off; there is a roughly 30% chance that a Burr Pikmin will stay attached. In addition, Burr Pikmin can grab onto surfaces 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.
