The Lesser Filthag is an enemy appearing in Pikmin X: Deep Freeze. A puddle of living mud wearing a small skull as armor, the Lesser Filthag is a common enemy in the later areas. Pikmin that touch its toxic flesh will be depetaled and poisoned. White Pikmin are immune to both of these effects, but even they are not safe from the beast's main attack: grabbing a Pikmin and throwing it back at leaders or other Pikmin as a ball of mud. This mud ball is small but can crush Pikmin, so dodge out of the way before the filthag tosses it at them. When defeated, the muddy part of the enemy dissolves into the ground, leaving behind the skull it was wearing.

The Lesser Filthag is a peculiar enemy in Pikmin: Interstellar Cryptid. As in Pikmin X: Deep Freeze, it's a blob of what appears to be mud with a pair of blue eyes and a few fragments of bone floating in its mass. It wears a small, humanlike skull as armor. It creeps towards Pikmin before revealing a scrawny arm from one of its eyeholes, grabbing an individual Pikmin and concealing it into a ball of hardened mud, and then tossing it in an overhead throw towards the squad. It crushes any Pikmin it directly lands on, flinging others close by away. Its dephysical body constantly vents poison, so Pikmin must be thrown directly at its skull. When defeated, its mud body will be flushed out of the skull and seep into the earth, leaving its stained skull for salvage. Lesser Filthags are also spat by the Squirrely Gumbidru alongside Toady Bloysters and Mama Sheargrubs.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “Upon birth, the lesser filthag resembles a hocotoid figure, but in only a week, their bodies lose cohesion and become sludge-like. They make use of all their bones afterward, using their skull as a defense shell, and consuming their other bones for nutrients. Due to the high amounts of ammonia in their bodies, they're highly toxic and ultimately have no natural predators at this stage. However, they only live for thirty days before they completely dephysicalize, meaning they have to reproduce quickly.”
Louie's notes
- “While you obviously shouldn't eat this... thing, it's fully possible to use it as a preserving agent for century eggs.”
Bentley's notes
- “It's not every day the mud deliberately tries to get on you, and yet here we are! Just... don't breathe near it or you will be asphyxiated, okay?”
Eloise's notes
- “It's like the undead have risen and are attacking the living! I should be scared... but I feel more sadness for it.”
