Appearance in Pikmin 4.
Scientific name Taraxacum rovinia
Family Chrysanthemum

The Creeping Chrysanthemum is a member of the chrysanthemum family that, when dormant, greatly resembles the Margaret, but can still be told apart from the normal flowers. When Pikmin or leaders get close, it will spring out of the ground and attack by attempting to eat them, although it can miss, which results in it toppling over and struggling for some seconds. It can replant itself by sucking itself into the ground until only the its flowers remain visible.

Template:Infobox P5MPAV

The Creeping Chrysanthemum is a falsifloran in Pikmin 5. It resembles and acts like its Pikmin 2 incarnation, but has a smaller and non-patterned beige body and arms, its mouth is made of the flower and not the bulb on it, and it doesn't stun itself when it misses.

The Creeping Chrysanthemum appears in Pikmin 251. The behavior of this creature has not changed from Pikmin 2.

Notes

Olimar's observations

Despite how large and awkward this creature is, it shouldn't be underestimated in terms of power. Maybe it's just because we have to fight them without Purple Pikmin this time, but they really do seem to be more intimidating.

When thinly sliced, this predator's sizeable bulb makes a sumptuous pizza topping.

Health 340
Attacks Eats Pikmin

The Creeping Chrysanthemum is conceptually unchanged in Pikmin V, but its body has been made skinnier and less squishy to appear more like real root vegetables. Its arm-roots support its whole body weight now, with the top and bottom swiveling around the connection point. It emerges from the ground by sticking the roots out, which then pull the body, and does that in reverse to return to the earth. It scoops its head down to eat Pikmin, with the inertia toppling it forward to the ground if it misses, and it shakes Pikmin off by swinging its body to throw them all in front of it.

Notes

Brittany's notes

Until recently, the Creeping Chrysanthemum was classified as a real species of chrysanthemum. It has since been discovered that the body is an independent organism on which actual chrysanthemums grow in a parasitic yet symbiotic fashion. The flower handles reproduction with a hybridized seedling containing both offspring, and the predatorial Impostflor fends off pests and provides nutrition for the both of them during life. It's fascinating creatures like this that have expanded my interests beyond just botany!

Olimar's notes

It can be distinguished from a normal Margaret because it has only the three flowers that become its face and eyes; the eyes are also visible on the flowers, even while buried. Its poor balance and elevated head make rushing its body an effective strategy to topple it.

Attacks Eats Pikmin

The Creeping Chrysanthemum is a returning enemy appearing in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The creature retains its appearance from Pikmin 4, but in the Nostalgic Dive, it resembles its Pikmin 2 incarnation in both appearance and behavior. Normally, the creature disguises itself as a large patch of white daisies. When approached, the beast will pop out of the ground and wander over to the squad, shooting out its long, sticky tongue at an extreme speed. This can catch up to ten Pikmin, which the Chrysanthemum will eat. If it doesn’t hit anything, the tongue will be stuck for five seconds, allowing for Pikmin to attack the creature's main body. When killed, the creature petals will wilt away, and a plant matching the Chrysanthemum's disguise will remain there for three days, disappearing the day after the enemy reappears.

In the Nostalgic Dive, the Creeping Chrysanthemum is much different. It disguises itself as a Margaret, popping out when approached. It will attack Pikmin by slamming down its large, bulbous mouth, eating up to five Pikmin at once. If there are no Pikmin, the beast will slam its mouth onto its body and fall down, wriggling around for a bit before getting up. If attacked, the creature will squeeze itself very tightly before drastically shaking off Pikmin in every direction. If killed, the creature does not leave its main body; it instead leaves the bulbous mouth to collect.
