Flametosser Spectralids are luminescent butterfly-like creatures in Pikmin: Corporate Combat that glow with orange flame. Unlike most other members of the flitterbie family, they are dangerous and hostile. Flametosser Spectralids can throw balls of fire from the air and swoop down to eat burning Pikmin. When killed, they leave behind two drops of nectar and a spray. Flametosser Spectralids are often found in swarms of Unmarked Spectralids. Flametosser Spectralids are larger than their relatives, their wingspan making them about the size of an adult Bulbmin.

Red Pikmin are the most useful for defeating a Flametosser Spectralid, but they won't be able to reach the creature until it swoops down to eat Pikmin. Yellow Pikmin can strike them down from the air easier than other Pikmin, but one must exercise caution to dodge the flame.

Notes

Olimar's notes

This subspecies of flitterbie boasts a variety of divergent traits from the majority of its family. It grows to larger sizes than normally observed in spectralids, and it is actively predatory, feeding on small animals rather than flower nectar. They also employ a particularly odd tactic as far as spectralids go; they are able to attack from above with orbs of flame.

Louie's notes

These things cook themselves in the heat, although they are bland with little flavor. I recommend heavy seasoning if you want to make these beasts into an enjoyable snack.

Watch out for this tiny terror's flame! – The ship, upon discovering the Incendiary Spectralid

The Incendiary Spectralid is an enemy that appears in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The creature resembles a small butterfly with a fluffy white body, two tiny legs, and two small antennae. Its main feature is its two large, orange wings with black outlines and markings. The entirety of the flitterbie is covered in a thick coat of flame.

The Incendiary Spectralid can be found flying around flowers or other plants. It will occasionally stop to rest on a flower petal or edge of elevated land. The creature is extremely agile and will fly away if so much as approached. However, it's extremely weak, and one hit from a Pikmin is more than enough to kill it. But, due to their flame coating, it will set any non-Red Pikmin ablaze. When killed, the Incendiary Spectralid has a chance to drop an ultra-fiery spray. If an Incendiary Spectralid lands in the water, its flames will extinguish permanently, as opposed to other fire-coated enemies.

Due to their fiery coating, using Rubber Pikmin, Snapdragon Pikmin, or Red Pikmin are the best options for taking down the Incendiary Spectralid due to their fire resistance.

In Overlord mode, the chance for an Incendiary Spectralid to drop its respective spray is decreased significantly, as with all spectralids. The spectralid also has a chance to be coated in blue fire, meaning only outside methods or Snapdragon Pikmin can take them down.

Notes

Olimar's notes

This species of flitterbie has a waxy coating that is constantly ablaze due to its internal heating. It seems to be a form of defense mechanism, considering their petite size. Funnily enough, this flitterbie feeds off of fruit and vegetables that contain high amounts of capsaicin.

Louie's notes

This butterfly is extremely spicy. Make sure to extinguish it, before mashing it into a paste and blending it together with other seasonings for a spicy hot sauce.

President’s notes

The butterflies are gaining fire coats now? It seems like everything on this planet has a fiery coating these days...

Overlord's thoughts

From taking on the valiant and enormous Pyro Phoenix... to this. I guess any animal big or small can have their own fire coating.

Attacks Burns Pikmin

The Incendiary Spectralid is a member of the flitterbie family that can spontaneously combust and extinguish itself at will. When Pikmin or leaders draw near, the Incendiary Spectralid will catch fire and swoop down to fly through the crowd, a behavior similar to that exhibited by the Electric Spectralid. Most Pikmin hit by the ignited creature will catch fire, but any Red Pikmin it rams into will be knocked down. When the Incendiary Spectralid rises back into the air after an attack, it will extinguish itself and fly away from leaders and Pikmin to avoid being attacked. While the creature is extinguished, any color or type of Pikmin can attack it. Like other spectralids, only one Pikmin is necessary to bring it down and kill it.
