The Polypous Prowler is a species of legwriggler that appears in Pikmin E: Remastered. It is a large, 4-legged beast that resembles real-world giant tube worms. It prowls its territory, waiting for any leaders or Pikmin to approach, before rapidly eating them. After being defeated, it will revive itself in around 2-4 minutes.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “A heavily territorial, and frankly annoying beast. It can't even be killed, at least not with the current methods we have. Maybe there's another way we can vanquish this creature?”
Louie's cookbook
- “Yuck! The innards and meat of this creature melt in your mouth every wrong way, they're sour too! I will never serve this beast again!”

Polypous Prowlers are enemies in Pikmin: Corporate Combat. They are large, four-legged creatures that resemble real-world giant tube worms, with thick, white skin, a tangle of necks tipped with red claws, and several pink glowing polyps on their skin. Polypous Prowlers freely move about an area and also revive minutes after defeat. Their primary and only major attack is lashing out at Pikmin with their heads, swallowing them on contact. Due to their abundance of heads, they can eat many Pikmin at once if given the chance. Their bodies are impervious to damage, but they can be killed by popping the polyps on their skin. Popping the polyps will inflict much damage to the Polypous Prowler, which will die after four polyps are popped. They slowly regenerate after they die, and when they get back up, their polyps regrow. Polypous Prowlers are slightly larger in size than enemies such as Red Bulborbs and Gatling Groinks. Any Pikmin can be used to strike the polyps, but a leader may find it helpful to attack it with a smaller group of Pikmin as opposed to a larger one; that way, the Polypous Prowler is less likely to eat a large number of Pikmin should the battle go awry.

In Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers, Polypous Prowlers function similarly to their Pikmin: Corporate Combat incarnation, with the main difference being that they do not revive, and all their polyps pop upon their death.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “Compared to their subaquatic, chemosynthetic ancestors, Polypous Prowlers live in various environments, usually colder locations near the sea. Analysis of an organism reveals that there are no traces of its past in regards to digestion, as a full digestive system with numerous branching throats is in place of the trophosome. Furthermore, what appears to be a protective casing of chitin is actually flabby skin. Hence why it appears to be so flexible.”
Louie's notes
- “Yuck yuck yuck! The innards of this creature are slimy. No, not even that, they melt in your mouth in the worst way possible! It feels like a mucous pile of sludge! I will never try to serve this again!”
Ship's comments
- “I've always hated worms. However, I seek solace knowing they could never feasibly reach me. THIS beast on the other hand... still can't reach me, but it gets way too close to being able to!”
