Polypous Prowler

Polypous Prowlers are enemies in Pikmin: Corporate Combat. They are large, four-legged creatures with thick, white skin, a tangle of necks tipped with red claws, and several pink glowing polyps on their skin. Polypous Prowlers are wandering enemies, moving about freely and regenerating after death. Their primary and only major attack is lashing at pikmin with their heads, swallowing them on contact. Due to their abundance of heads, they can eat up to 30 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 do a chunk of damage to the Prowler, and they die after 4 are popped. They slowly regenerate after they die like most wandering enemies, 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.

How to Kill
Any pikmin can be used to strike the polyps, but a captain may find it helpful to attack it with a small group of pikmin as opposed to a larger one; that way, the Prowler is less likely to eat a large number should things go poorly.

Trivia
The Prowlers' design is loosely inspired by the real-world animals known as Giant tube worms, specifically their heads, which are a tangle of worm-like appendages tipped with red, claw-like mouths.
