Molten Stingroid

This enemy is a stingroid enemy that first appeared in Pikmin: New World. It is the replacement for the mostly extinct dweevil family after the events of Pikmin 2. The stingroid family is a large family where the members are all flying, tail-smacking predators that actively attack and kill their prey. Each stingroid has virtually the same body plan, a triangular, ray-shaped body with a long tail, eyes at its middle and virtually no obvious traits of a head, limb, or mouth. Its body is also made up of different segments, like an earthworm, to which Olimar believes it is related to. there are virtually no distinguishing traits of this species except for its red colouration. this species will go up in flame if threatened and will slam its tail into the ground at its attackers, setting the ground on fire. This attack is fairly effective and often burns large amounts of pikmin. To defeat it, throw Red Pikmin ontop of ituntil it is rendered flat on the ground. Continue throwing pikmin at it and it will die sooner or later.
