Stump Grotto is the fifteenth or sixteenth cave in Pikmin: The War of the Pikmin Planet. Its entrance is located in the roots of an old tree at Waterfall Lake.

Sublevel 1

Enemies:
- Toady Bloyster × 1

There are a few puddles of water here, one of which is inhabited by a Toady Bloyster. Defeat it to obtain the key.

Sublevel 2

Enemies:
- Blue Bulborb × 3
- Hermit Crawmad × 4
- Water Dumple × 5

This sublevel is covered almost entirely by water. A few large tree stumps serve as dry land. One of the three Blue Bulborbs has the key to the next sublevel.

Sublevel 3

Enemies:
- Goolarva × 1
- Wollywog × 3

This small sublevel is very dark and easy to get caught off-guard in. To obtain the key and unlock the next sublevel, defeat the Goolarva.

Sublevel 4

Enemies:
- Puffstool × 1
Vegetation:
- Common Glowcap × ?

This sublevel is dimly lit by Common Glowcaps. In the center of the sublevel is a Puffstool, which may look harmless but can convert Pikmin into Mushroom Pikmin using spores. The overgrown fungus holds the key.

Sublevel 5

Enemies:
- Burrowing Snagret × 1
- Sheartwig × 3

An old foe, the Burrowing Snagret, lurks somewhere on this sublevel. New enemies, Sheartwigs, can also be found here. Sheartwigs have more health than Shearwigs but are slower.

Sublevel 6

Enemies:
- Dwarf Orange Bulborb × 6
- Orange Bulborb × 3
- Volatile Dweevil × 10
Others:
- Bomb rock × ? (falls from above)

Many orange menaces are located in this sublevel, and they can decimate an oblivious leader's Pikmin squad. Watch out for any bomb rocks that fall from above.

Sublevel 7

Vegetation:
- Queen Candypop Bud × 2

To prepare for the next sublevel, two Queen Candypop Buds are available to use.

Sublevel 8

Enemies:
- Pileated Snagret × 1
Others:
- Bomb rock × ?

This sublevel is inhabited solely by one of the most difficult bosses encountered: a Pileated Snagret. Fortunately, there are a few bomb rocks to use against the beast and reduce the time spent in its range. Upon its death, the Pileated Snagret spits up half of a valve that, when combined with the other half found in Maroon Maze, grants access to Rusty Pipeworks.

-This sublevel consists of one toughest boss to defeat. It is safe for your Pikmin to stay away from the Snavian's large beak and pummel it when it gets stuck in the ground. Also, there are a few bomb rocks around, so try to throw them at it with [[Orange Pikmin]]. Once the annoying hybrid is defeated, it drops half of a valve. The other half is in the [[Maroon Maze]]. If you acquire both, you can enter the [[Rusty Pipeworks]].
