Kingcap

Kingcaps are a type of fungus that serve as obstacles. They usually block paths, often accompanied by Spotcaps. Kingcaps are durable, and unlike the smaller Spotcaps, Pikmin can latch on to a Kingcap to attack it.

In, Kingcaps, as well as Spotcaps, are the focus of mushroom challenges. In addition to having several different colors of caps, both types of fungus have variants engulfed in fire, water, and crystal.

In Pikmin: Infection in Progress
Kingcaps appear in Pikmin: Infection in Progress. They are rare at Polluted Creek, Noxious Expanse, Toxic Barrens, and Withering Terrace, but much more frequent at Fungal Grotto. Due to the plague spreading across the Distant Planet, mushrooms have spread immensely, especially underground. Destroying a Kingcap makes it tip in a predetermined direction before falling over, quickly decaying into nothingness afterward.

In Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers
Kingcaps in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers are stated to be the fully-matured form of Spotcaps in this game. Functionally, they're the same as those in.
