Proximity Blister

The Proximity Blister is permanently affixed to the ground and isn't very mobile. However, when approached, it begins to release poisonous gas around itself. After a few seconds, it clamps down with enough force to generate sparks which immediately ignite the gas, creating a powerful explosion that kills nearby Pikmin. This attack requires the creature to rest for a short while before spewing gas once more, making it an opportunity to toss Pikmin onto its body. It doesn't have a lot of health, but the opening between its attacks is fairly short, so a move must be made quickly to bring it down.
