Vile Candypop Bud

The Vile Candypop Bud is a dangerous candypop bud that appears in Pikmin: Hybrids and is important to its plot. It resembles a typical candypop bud but is black and purple with hints of gold. It secretes a potent venom that seeps across the ground and draws Pikmin to it, and not even White Pikmin can't withstand its lethal effects. Pikmin should be kept as far away from a Vile Candypop Bud as possible, and if any begin roaming towards it, whistle to them to snap them out of their fixation. A certain Vile Candypop Bud found in Blue Depths is uprooted and harmless and can be taken for analysis. The Horrible Behemoth is a massive Vile Candypop Bud found in Dark Poison Land.

Olimar's notes

 * "This disgusting plant kills Pikmin with the poison that drips from its petals. White Pikmin are not immune to it. Where did it come from?"
