* TruthInTelevision: Its Piklopedia entry notes that its liver and ovaries are highly toxic due to its diet. This is true of certain species of real-life pufferfish. Nonetheless, an Onion has no problem breaking down a dead Pricklepuff. Louie's Note on preparing the Pricklepuff is reminiscent of how ''fugu'' is prepared.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Its Piklopedia entry implies that its natural habitats are too cold for the microorganisms Shellcakes usually survive on to live, thus making the Freezecake the only one that actually eats its prey rather than using them for fertilizer.

Added DiffLines:

* ShieldedCoreBoss: It's covered in a cocoon made out of supercooled air, requiring firestarters to destroy it for your Pikmin to be able to strike at it. Ice Pikmin can attack it directly, though. After enough damage, the cocoon will be made thicker, requiring more firestarters to break it.


Added DiffLines:

* ZergRush: They're pitiful individually, but they show up in massive groups in order to make up for it.

* BigEater: Combined with ExtremeOmnivore, it will suck up whatever is in its line of sight, be it pellets, Pikmin or treasures.



* WarmUpBoss: It's the boss of the tutorial level that Olimar fights to get his Interstellar Radio back. Later on, another one serves as the first real boss the player encounters at the top of the Sun Speckled Terrace.

* WarmUpBoss: It's the boss of the tutorial level that Olimar fights to get his Interstellar Radio back. Later on, another one serves as the first real boss the player encounters at the top of the Sun Speckled Terrace. Later specimens are tougher, however, as they'll usually be on elevated terrain that prevents you from reaching it with Oatchi, making you rely on throwing Pikmin at it.

* RammingAlwaysWorks: You need to ram into them to knock them on their backs, exposing their weak underbellies. It takes one Oatchi Rush to knock over a Miniature Snootwhacker, but the Mammoth Snootwhacker takes two, the first rush merely stuns it.


Added DiffLines:

* HarmlessEnemy: It can only whack Pikmin away with its trunk, interrupting their work or knocking them into actual danger.

* BigEater: The Gildemander's large tongue can let it scoop up a lot of Pikmin. Be extremely wary of leaving your Pikmin on destroying its ores, as if it manages to scoop it up, it will take all of the Pikmin with it, potentially devouring the entire army.

* AttackItsWeakpoint: The soft shell around its mouth is its weakspot. Knocking it over by having Pikmin climb their way to its head or ramming its legs with Oatchi will knock it down to bring it in range of your Pikmin.
