Notes
The mucus of the Pyroclasmic Slooch acts as a natural fire starter, but it also seems to serve as insulation from heat. Gazing into those flickering flames at night would be a great way to relax! And the ripple pattern going from top to bottom is so mesmerizing!
Olimar
A species of terrestrial snail coated in flammable mucus instead of the traditional shell. The creature stays lubricated through constant secretion of mucus so that the fires never reach its skin. The most fascinating aspect of these creatures is their instinctive ability to avoid causing widespread fires by carelessly brushing plants.
Louie
Remove tongue and discard the rest. Cook over a charcoal grill until medium rare.

Notes
Alph
Structural flaw: low speed
Weight: 3
A coating of pure fire? Now THAT'S armor! Which it needs, because it's very slow to both move and attack. And even the fire armor does nothing against Red Pikmin. Back to the drawing board...
Brittany
Tons of style points for the cloak of pure fire. I couldn't pull off a look like that. I don't even like to leave the S.S. Drake when it's humid out.
Charlie
It's tough to beat a defense made entirely out of scorching flames. If you don't take it seriously, it'll be way too hot to handle. Fortunately, I'm just hot-blooded enough to take it, so long as Brittany doesn't give me that icy stare!
Louie
Remove tongue and discard the rest. Cook over a charcoal grill until medium rare.

Fruit it holds
In the official guide

Pyroclasmic Slooches are flame-covered creatures that produce trails of fire as they move around an area. In addition to these very effective defensive qualities, these creatures are able to devour any Pikmin standing directly in front of them. When battling a Pyroclasmic Slooch, use a squad of Red Pikmin to charge the creature from the rear, or throw Red Pikmin onto its back.
