The Bomber Cacao is an enemy in Pikmin: Interstellar Cryptid. It's a minuscule cacao tree the size of a Medusal Slurker with glassy, caramel-colored eyes. Small green cacao fruits grow from its branches and slowly mature into larger red ones over the course of fifteen seconds. If approached with ripened fruit, it will rustle slightly. If the squad doesn't leave afterward, it will shake even harder, causing the fruit to snap off of its branches and fall to the ground. These fruits will slowly begin tensing up and glowing orange, making a sound akin to a whistling kettle, before they violently explode. It will then begin growing its new fruit over the course of the next fifteen seconds. If defeated, any remaining fruits will harmlessly pop into yellow sparks and it will fall over, uprooting itself.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “The ambuloradicis class is often argued as being the most successful in terms of both animals and plants. This could be due to the fact that they're essentially plants with animalistic traits. This minuscule tree seems to be able to produce fruiting bodies without the need for pollen, and it constantly drops them onto the floor. Interestingly, these fruits are filled with an obscene amount of phosphorous, making them explosive. As the fruit dries, two layers of a muscle-like fiber beneath its skin contract, putting strain on each other and building pressure within its explosive core. This eventually reaches a point where the fruit violently explodes. Whatever seeds don't get destroyed in the blast are shot far, spreading its natural range whilst deterring parasitic insects. The caustiquat bush has a similar, albeit less explosive, growth cycle.”
Louie's notes
- “The whole tree tastes like dangerous chemicals. Would not recommend.”
Bentley's notes
- “Oh djeenitz! Don't go foraging in the tropics of this planet, or you might regret it! But perhaps we could use it for crowd control of harmful animals?”
Eloise's notes
- “Every day I get even more horrified by what this planet has in store. Bombs from the trees? This is absurd!”
