Behavior

Pikmin: Shadows of the Future
It stomps around, laying explosive mines all over the place. The mines start a countdown when approached, so steer clear of them. It is immune to explosions. Pikmin can be crushed by its feet. After it shakes your Pikmin off, it starts jumping up and down, causing any mines currently on the ground the explode.

Strategy to defeat

Most Games
Throw large amounts of Pikmin, preferably Purple Pikmin, onto its head when it lowers it. Call them back when it shakes them off and run away! Yellow Pikmin will make the battle much quicker, as they can reach the boss' head even when it's not lowered.
