The Flytrap Chrysanthemum is a carnivorous plant found within Pikmin Z. It resembles the Creeping Chrysanthemum in multiple asspects, but it lacks any flowers and its mouth is fully exposed rather than hidden. It's under body is yellowish in color, and its mouth is dark grey.
Biology
- Diet: Unmarked Spectralids, Male Dewsucker, Scornet, Swooping Sparrowhead
- Scornet Maestro (it does ocassionally eat these, but only out of a glitch if it and Scornets are flying in its striking range)
- predators: ???
The Flytrap Chrysanthemum is believed to be the descendent of the Creeping Chrysanthemum. It is an ambush predator, and when a small flying enemy gets close to its "flower", it will bite down and eat the unsuspecting creature.
Piklopedia entry
I've heard rumors of carnivorous plants on PNF-404, but I never truly thought they existed until I saw this creature. According to some history and through Olimar's past notes, I've concluded that the Flytrap Chrysanthemum is a possible descendent of the Creeping Chrysanthemum. It lies in wait, staying completely still with its mouth wide open, waiting until a small creature flies close until it strikes like a waiting snagret. Simple, yet effective.
Strategy
Typically, these creatures don't hold too much of a threat to you, as they don't attack you or your Pikmin unless you get too close. If you're up for it, first throw some Pikmin at the stalk. Clover Pikmin are worth avoiding in the fight, as they're at risk of getting eaten the most. After a few throws, it'll pull itself out of the ground and try to get you. The fight from there mirrors the Creeping Chrysanthemum.
