The Dashing Leekshell is an onionshell miniboss appearing in Pikmin: Spark and encountered in areas such as, among others, Saltwater Glade and Chilling Frontier. It is a thin, light green crustacean with a long, dark green tail; overall, the creature resembles a leek, hence its name. The creature has a pair of long, whip-like pincers, and holes on the sides of its legs allow it to cover long distances by jetting across the seafloor. Using its pincers, the predator can produce bubbles that burst when in the proximity of a creature, stunning them temporarily, and it can generate shockwaves and grab small clusters of Pikmin. Upon seeing prey stunned by its bubbles, the leekshell dashes towards the creature to instantly devour it. It dashes away when it senses that its soft underside is being damaged, making it difficult to attack. Being that the fight is underwater, only Blue Pikmin can fight the Dashing Leekshell. Fortunately, the creature is frail, so using an ultra-spicy spray on the attacking Pikmin may cause it to fall quickly. Upon death, Dashing Leekshells yield the False Reflection, a shrimp-shaped fishing lure that is worth × 325.
In Ultra-Spicy Mode, Dashing Leekshells also create bubbles while they dash.
