'''Creeping Chrysanthemum''
Size 95mm'

This creatue is a large plant like creature that has a mouth on the top of it's head that is used for eating pikmin. It waits in the ground for a pikmin to step to close to it and then it pops out. It is only seen in pikmin 2 in some caves,the awakening wood,and the wistiful wild. It may be based on the [[Piranha Plant]] from the [[Mario]] games. It walk on its roots and is rather slow and cannot be petrified. Worth 7 pokos.

[[Olimar's Notes
Like [[Pikmin]], the creeping chrysanthemum is a member of a group of creatures with ambulatory root structures. This creature is known as a "mimic", but because it is actually a form of plant, this label is not entirely accurate. For unknown reasons, the creeping chrysanthemum's mimicry does not fool [[Pikmin]], perhaps because they share a similar heritage. It relies on preying upon other creatures to provide sustenance, so it has no need of leaves for photosynthesis. Generally speaking, the role of plants within an ecosystem is as a producer species, and thus plants are generally found at the bottom of the food pyramid. However, on this strange planet the line between producer plants and consumer plants is blurred. 

Louie's Notes
When thinly sliced, this predator's sizeable bulb makes a sumptuous pizza topping.
