Puffstool


The next model I've designed is Puffstool. I made it entirely from scratch in Metaseqouia. It includes a base and a Common Glowcap.

The Puffstool is an enemy in Pikmin 1 that appears to be a huge walking fungus. It has a red capped mushroom head and a tender yellow torso which is vulnerable to swarming. Not much is scientifically known of it, but minimal details are supplied.
The Puffstool will try to run when attacked, but its legs are clearly not made for sprinting and it trips easily, landing on its head with feet in the air. Since the cap is invulnerable to attack, Pikmin must be thrown onto its undersection once it's on the ground. After a few seconds, the Puffstool will right itself up and blow out a purplish cloud of spores which cause a strange change in nearby Pikmin, which the Puffstool acts as a Captain for. Affected Pikmin turn purple and grow small brown mushroom caps on their stalks. These Pikmin are known infamously as Mushroom Pikmin.

It is from the Sporovid family and it's scientific name is Aspergilla podronis. The Puffstool is most commonly found in the Forest Navel and takes 1o pikmin to carry it.
Now includes a PDO!
