The Mother Slurpier is one of the later bosses in Pikmin ARC. It is the brood-queen of the Slurpiers and uses attacks similar to theirs, but has also swallowed the Glow Pikmin of the area. It resembles one of the regular Slurpiers, but much bigger, with a crystal abdomen full of nymphs and an armored proboscis. It must be defeated to free the Glow Pikmin and move on.

In the first phase, the Mother Slurpier opens the fight by unleashing a piercing screech, summoning dozens of Slurpiers to its aid. It will then use the following attacks:

• Attempts to crush Pikmin while surrounded by minions.
• Fires waves of minions before charging at the captain. If this hits, the captain will rapidly lose health despite any protection due to the draining and deadly oxygen being allowed to flood into their suit.
• Balls up with minions and they all beat their wings rapidly, creating a large sphere of heat.
• Opens its armor and sucks in Pikmin. This instantly kills them, but it can only suck up a few Pikmin in one execution.

For every 5% of its health lost, it will spawn more Slurpier Nymphs to assist it. Use Yellow Pikmin to take down the Slurpiers and Red Pikmin for damage.

Phase two begins once the Mother Slurpier reaches 50% HP, whereupon it will screech and summon more Slurpiers and speed up its pattern. It switches out its crushing and sucking attacks for these:

• Has its minions surround it while it drills into the ground, knocking down loose debris from the ceiling.
• Vomits heated honey all over the arena, which acts like lava.

During this phase, its movements and attacks are much faster. Winged Pikmin are the preferred type as they can easily swarm down the Slurpiers and ignore the shockwave attack. When they ball up, they may be going for the fireball; throw Red Pikmin onto the boss' abdomen.

After the boss' defeat, the Glow Pikmin will escape the ruptured abdomen and rush back to their Lumiknoll, but the egg sac remains and promptly bursts into a horde of Slurpier Nymphs. Make sure to have enough Pikmin left over to survive this onslaught as doing so is the only way for Heated Hive's exit to open.
