A Whiskercoon is an obstacle appearing in Pikmin V. It is a spiritual successor to and implied to be the true identity of Burgeoning Spiderwort mold, growing near a Burgeoning Spiderwort and preventing it from growing to produce berries. The main distinction of Whiskercoons is that they don't appear on their own; instead, a Ravenous Whiskerpillar that is left alive to eat ten Spiderwort berries will spin a cocoon at the site of the Spiderwort the next day. If the Whiskercoon is not destroyed, the Whiskerpillar within will complete metamorphosis into a Ravenous Whiskermoth the day after, though only one Whiskercoon will do so at a time; others will remain as pupae until the Whiskermoth is killed. Additionally, if the Forest of Seeming region is left for three days (which respawns all enemies), Whiskercoons will spawn in two of the three areas at random, with a Whiskermoth appearing in the third. Whiskercoons regenerate ten health per second.

Notes

Brittany's notes

The Whiskercoon is unique among chrysales in that it sits out in the open while metamorphosis occurs. This is because it continues to feed off of nearby Burgeoning Spiderworts using structures remarkably similar to roots. The chrysalis itself is a rather spongy material easily mistakable for mold due to its flexibility and gooeyness, but nevertheless, it is very durable.

Olimar's notes

By itself, it is a complete nonthreat, and those not concerned about collecting nectar or sprays need not bother. Those who are should make it a priority, however, as it is rather durable and, if not destroyed, will transform into a more pestilent Whiskermoth the next day.

Louie's notes

Though inedible, the silk is an excellent material for making tablecloths and napkins.
