The Ghoulstool is a species of sporovid appearing in Pikmin Rebirth. They can be identified by their olive-green cap, and a texture resembling advanced decay. They are one of the subterranean sporovid varieties, living deep inside cave systems, particularly cold and damp ones at that. They are considered a parasite due to absorbing the nutrients of their surroundings, leaving only their spores in their wake. These spores, however, are different as, rather than infect Pikmin, they instead infect rotting matter such as corpses. These spores, while not directly harmful, can damage Onions when delivered to one by a corpse; rather than add a number of seeds, the corpse subtracts that amount, effectively killing Pikmin still in the Onion. Furthermore, be wary of nectar in the Ghoulstool's environment, as there is a chance that it could be infected with spores as well, turning it into fermented nectar. If Pikmin drink this nectar, they are converted into hostile Puffmin and assist the Ghoulstool in fighting. To prevent the Ghoulstool from polluting its surroundings, defeating it as soon as possible is a wise decision. However, the Ghoulstool can attack directly; namely, it can produce a special olive-green spore cloud that degrades the maturity of Pikmin, and unlike poison, this will reduce their maturity by one stage but is lethal if they are at leaf stage.
Notes
Magdalene's journal
- “It has come to my realization that the Pikmin have faced some terrible deaths. Crushed, eaten, you name it. Now I can chalk up de-aging to death to that list. Makes me almost feel bad for them, but as I say to myself, the ends justify the means, so maybe they can forgive me soon.”
Azure's salvage logs
- “Grind the spores into dust; the chemical properties allow the spores to degrade plant life almost instantly. Use with caution.”
Lenin's cooking tips
- “
- Calories per serving: 350
- Serving size: 1 ounce
- Preparation time: 5 hours
The fungus's flesh has a deep and pungent aroma complimented by a strong flavor. It can be mixed with buttermilk to form a thick cheese with a distinct palate, only for the most durable of stomachs.”
Ivy's biology logs
- “Like all animals, telomeres are the protein used to help us age, so harming those directly could give the most health risks. The Ghoulstool takes advantage of such a fact, using spores infused with malignant cellular makeup to infect the telomeres in most animals to wither them away and turn them into a nutritious paste for the sporovid to consume. While the spores are harmless to us due to our suits, they are especially effective on plants like the Pikmin. Regardless, the dangers presented with these spores mean they should be nominated for becoming a grade III biohazard.”
Indy's strategy guide
- “Egads, these creatures have learned to use gas in their offensive! What kind of monster would allow such creatures to evolve such a weapon? The only way to stop the gas is to kill it at the source, and quickly flank the sides before the fungi can spray its deadly concoction.”
