The Harlequin Festool is a large sporovid that appears in Pikmin: New Frontiers. It resembles Clathrus archeri fungi. It appears as a boss in the cave, Jester’s Nest.
It begins the battle on the ground, before hopping up on one of the many wooden block pillars in its arena. It jumps around from pillar to pillar, and is unreachable by any Pikmin type. If Pikmin are beneath a pillar it’s standing on, it will release spores that will turn them into Mushroom Pikmin. While it’s on a pillar and has Mushroom Pikmin under its control, they will gather beneath it and attack any Pikmin or leader that gets too close. The pillars it stands on can be charged by Pikmin to knock it off, at which point it will land on its head and be vulnerable for attack. Additionally, Mushroom Pikmin will scatter around aimlessly - in this state, they won’t attack and can be whistled at to return them to normal. After a few moments, the Harlequin Festool will get up and jump back onto the pillars. The cycle of attack must be repeated until it’s defeated.
