The Pellet Kelp is a plant in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers that appears to be a thick stalk of seaweed with numerous blades branching off of it. Some pods sprout from the stalk of the plant, holding numerous blue pellets. Depending on the waters the plant lives in, its color varies; in tropical ocean waters like those in Creature's Quay, it is a vibrant green, while in colder waters like in Misty Badlands, it is a sickly yellow.
Swaying peacefully in the waters, there are three pellets growing on the stalk of each Pellet Kelp. Ordering Blue Pikmin to attack it will cause them to grab one of the pellets, which each have their own health wheel. Up to three Blue Pikmin can grab a pellet and, like how Winged Pikmin uproot a Flukeweed, proceed to deplete health from it in increments by tugging on it. Once a pellet is pulled out, the pod it was held in will turn brown and shrivel up. Once all three are taken off, the whole plant will wilt away, leaving behind yellow spores in its wake that float in the water. Due to the fact that it grows three pellets at once, they are a good source of Blue Pikmin. Pellet Kelp regrows after two days.
Appearance at Misty Badlands.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “A relative of the globally diverse Pellet Posy that grows within saltwater. Due to the inconvenience of using conventional seeds that would get washed away in the ocean tides, this plant instead reproduces through the use of specialized spores that soon sprout into new specimens. Just like its terrestrial counterpart, it crystalizes nectar from its nectaries to make pellets. They are an important part of the food chain in areas it's found in, and their existence implies that other plants in water can secrete nectar, unlike back at Hocotate.”
Louie's notes
- “This plant can be prepared like its relatives, only the resulting hors d'oeuvre is brinier due to the surrounding saltwater it grows in. Do not eat anything else on the plant, as it can lead to constipation.”
Ship's comments
- “Great, even the aquatic life might be attempting to steal our nectar now. Be quick to harvest the pellets before some lousy blinnow does it for you!”
