Irritating Scatterbloom

The Irritating Scatterbloom is a species of hostile plant appearing Pikmin: Spark, it is a flowering weed noted for its colorful flowering bulbs that are open year-round. When the plants reach maturity they scatter their seeds around their local territory which latch onto nearby fauna. It also scatters these seeds as a defense mechanism when their bulbs are disturbed by predators. The seeds are coated in pollen which causes irritation and pain if ingested by both fauna and Pikmin, and to some creatures can prove to be fatal. If a creature or Pikmin falls to these pollen-coated seeds then the seeds germinate and instantly sprout a Scatterbloom bud which spreads a toxic gas that can poison any non White Pikmin. The plant and buds will die if the captain manages to deflower all of the plant's flowers, a Scatterbloom usually has 3-5 flowers. If all of the flowers of the main plant are destroyed all other buds will wither away.
