'''Clambering Gripmoss''' is a practical plant in ''[[Pikmin Forever]]'' that functions as a climbable material on walls.

Clambering Gripmoss is a practical plant in Pikmin Forever that functions as a climbable material on walls. It is a flowerless mass of leaves mostly green in color, that grows in clumps on bark, rocks, and other walls, and its slight multicolor iridescence helps alert leaders to its presence. It is often found near patches of other plants to create a perfect hiding spot from enemies. Pikmin or leaders thrown or ordered onto the moss will grab hold of it. It is possible to lock-on to moss and use the cursor to select a location for the whole group to climb to at once. Idle Pikmin and leaders will stay put on the moss. Pikmin whistled by a non-climbing leader will hop off the moss, and Pikmin whistled by a climbing leader will join the climbing group.
As an active leader, simply touch Clambering Gripmoss to grab a hold. Pikmin and leaders in the squad will follow suit. Use to climb around, to release, and to whistle climbing Pikmin. Pikmin and leaders will try to fall off the moss as close to the point as the active leader as possible. If an arrow appears when near the top of the moss-covered ledge, it means the active leader can continue up to climb onto the surface above. Leaders and Pikmin sent to a destination with the Go Here! function can climb Clambering Gripmoss if they must; it will show up as an optional checkpoint to their goal that can be selected by tapping it on the Wii U Gamepad.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “At first glance, this monoicous moss appears to have readily visible iridescent leaves. But closer inspection reveals that these "leaves" are merely sub-clumps of one-cell-thick vestigial tissue, surrounding iridescent sporophytes. These sporophytes act as hyper-compressed soap bubbles, and when their surface tension is ruptured the spores are accelerated outward at blistering accelerations. Like most mosses, clambering gripmoss requires a damp environment for non-vascular fertilization, yet lacks the mechanisms for preventing desiccation. Gripmosses usually make up for this problem by storing microscopic antibubbles after rainy seasons, but the clambering gripmoss specifically has a presently mysterious method of adjusting for water loss.”
