Family Chrysanthemum (assumed)

The Flytrap Chrysanthemum is a member of the chrysanthemum family found in the files of Hey! Pikmin. It would have hidden in the ground and disguised itself as mere vegetation, and ambushed any leaders and Pikmin that approached by emerging from the ground and attacking them. When its prey fled far enough, it would have returned to its original location and disguised itself once more.

The Flytrap Chrysanthemum is a chrysanthemum in Pikmin 2... Again?. Its appearance is identical to its unused Hey! Pikmin incarnation. To hunt, it keeps its mouth open, hoping for prey to unknowingly jump in before it snaps shut on them. Its mouth can be used as a platform to reach higher locations while it remains open, but lingering on it for too long will result in it eating Pikmin, though it will spit out leaders. While it can't be defeated, feeding it White Pikmin will deter it from biting down on anything in its mouth for a time.

The Flytrap Chrysanthemum is a chrysanthemum appearing in Pikmin Ultimate X. They are found in tropical areas and have a venus flytrap as a mouth instead of a bulb. Although they are already dangerous when conceived as ordinary plants, they become even more so when they unearth themselves. They are much faster and more aggressive than their relative.

Attacks Eats Pikmin

The Flytrap Chrysanthemum is a carnivorous plant appearing in Pikmin Z. It resembles and is believed to be a descendant of the Creeping Chrysanthemum, but it lacks any flowers and its mouth is fully exposed rather than hidden. Its underbody is yellowish in color, and its mouth is dark grey. Typically, these creatures don't hold too much of a threat as they don't attack leaders or Pikmin unless they get too close. The best way to kill a Flytrap Chrysanthemum is to throw Pikmin at its stalk until the creature pulls itself out of the ground, then overwhelm the creature until it dies. Clover Pikmin are not recommended as they're at the highest risk of being eaten. It has no known predators, and feeds on Unmarked Spectralids, Male Dewsuckers, Scornets, Swooping Sparrowheads, and, uncommonly, Scornet Maestros. Being an ambush predator, when a small flying enemy gets close to its mouth, it will bite down and eat the unsuspecting creature.

Notes

Piklopedia entry

I've heard rumors of carnivorous plants on PNF-404, but I never truly thought they existed until I saw this creature. According to some history and through Olimar's past notes, I've concluded that the flytrap chrysanthemum is a possible descendant of the creeping chrysanthemum. It lies in wait, staying completely still with its mouth wide open, waiting until a small creature flies close until it strikes like a waiting snagret. Simple, yet effective.

Attacks Eats Pikmin

The Flytrap Chrysanthemum is a new enemy in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The creature is a part of the chrysanthemum family, and like most of its relatives, the Flytrap Chrysanthemum hides in the ground. Only its green flytrap mouth and two yellow flower eyes are poking out of the ground. If approached, the Flytrap Chrysanthemum will move its head back a bit before violently slamming it into the dirt, eating up to 5 Pikmin in the process. However, if it misses, it will get its mouth stuck in the dirt for approximately 8 seconds before freeing itself. That is the chance to attack the creature and kill it. When defeated, it will drop its large flytrap mouth, which its eyes and stem retract into.
