Caustic Slooch

The Caustic Slooch is a slooch that utilizes water as a form of defense against predators. It can be found slithering around idly in a small territory, which can be in water or on dry land. Water constantly pours from its body, causing it to leave behind a large yet harmless trail of water for Pikmin to walk on. Because it is always cloaked in water, Blue Pikmin must be used to defeat it.

The Caustic Slooch bears a striking resemblance to the Pyroclasmic Slooch, but with different coloration. It has electric-blue stripes, purple eyes. Its tongue is olive green.

Caustic Slooches never pose much of a threat unless leaders or their Pikmin pass by, where it will attempt to feed on them. They can either be swarmed or have Pikmin thrown onto them, but Blue Pikmin must be used to defeat them because they are always covered in water.
