The Thorny Devil is the largest specimen of sauridian. While most sauridians tend to attack their prey by surprise, this creature goes straight to attacking. It does this because of its spiky covering and leathery skin. Unlike other sauridians, the Thorny Devil has a long tongue, like the whiptongue bulborb. This suggests that the creature is also capable of ranged attacks. It even has the ability to shoot spikes from its covering, and each spike grows back with ease. the creature seems to have been successful because of this defense mechanism.

Any [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] species can be used to kill the Thorny Devil but [[Rock Pikmin]] are recommended. Its tail is its weakpoint, and so having Pikmin attack it is the key to victory. The basic strategy against the Thorny Devil consists of making it smash into a wall when it rolls to expose its soft belly and then attacking it. An advanced strategy consists of a much faster method of killing the Thorny Devil, which is to attack it while it is shooting spikes. During this time its skin is bare, opening it to attack, although Pikmin are still in danger of being skewered.
Basic Strategy


Its tail is its weak point. Tossing pikmin at its tail is the main key to defeating this boss. When it starts to roll, make it smash into a wall, exposing its weak belly. Doing this will result into an easy victory.

A much '''quicker''' way to defeat the boss is to attack it while it is shooting spikes. It is not covered in spikes while shooting, so throw pikmin at its body. However, your pikmin are in danger of being stabbed.
