The Reprobate is a species of amorphous sporovid that can absorb the mass of other beings into its own.

In Pikmin: Dual Worlds
The Reprobate is a rather elusive sporovid in Pikmin: Dual Worlds that can take on many forms beyond its basic one. It is a somewhat amorphous sporovid best described as a tough, spongy mass of tannish-purple flesh coated in small barbs and tendrils. It takes wildlife, such as creatures, Pikmin, assorted flora, and even other sporovids, and physically attaches them to its body or within it. Targets can fight back against the Reprobate, dealing damage to it, although the creature dying from them is unlikely. Reprobates may be found walking about, scaling walls, attached to virtually any surface, or even floating on or in water. It tends to attempt to assimilate creatures with long-ranged or projectile attacks, although it will also do so to short-ranged or docile creatures as well. The forms of beings a Reprobate has assimilated into its mass are displayed on its body. The sporovid is only as strong as the creatures it absorbed, however, and killing enough of them makes it possible for the remaining creatures to damage the Reprobate itself. Fire, electricity, acid, jets of water, and offensive fauna are all effective ways to dispose of a Reprobate. Attacking the Reprobate itself is the most effective way to deal damage to it, as killing the unfortunate creatures it has taken the shapes of doesn't deal much damage to it, although it also means Pikmin are more subject to attack. Some assimilated creatures are passive, however, and pose no threat whatsoever; the several Puffmin often trapped within a Reprobate are one such example. A Reprobate itself may also be docile, and if this is the case all entities composing it will also be passive. In such a state it instead tends to act as a physical barrier. When outside of the range of its other attacks, a Reprobate will launch spore-filled projectiles at its targets. Defeating them is rather difficult, especially without casualties, and as such, there is an achievement attached to doing so. There is also a small subspecies called the Affliction that tends to latch on to a singular creature and act more in a symbiotic way, in that it gets nutrients from its host and is better protected but in exchange doesn't take it over and covers some of the host's weaknesses.
