The Lesser Pillimpede is a large pill bug-like creature in Pikmin: Infinite Exploration that can be found in dark locations, usually curled up in the way of a path. It is roughly larger than a Spotty Bulbear. Once approached, it will wake up, and begin its assault by curling up into a ball and rolling directly towards Pikmin it sees. Upon touching a wall, the Lesser Pillimpede will begin rolling up the side of the wall onto the ceiling if there is one, where it will have an opportunity to ambush leaders and Pikmin by dropping down onto them while curled up. If there isn't a ceiling, it will instantly bound off the top of the wall and come rolling back down towards its prey. Any Pikmin the Lesser Pillimpede steps on will be buried, as will those that the creature rolls over on soft terrain such as much or sand. Buried Pikmin are subject to being eaten by it.
Unlike the larger Millimpede, the Lesser Pillimpede is actually able to be defeated by knocking it onto its back and attacking its underbelly, accomplished by throwing Pikmin at it from the front when it rears up for a roll attack. The most effective method of tipping over the Lesser Pillimpede is to use Rock Pikmin, which are also resistant to being crushed by the creature. Once this is done, Winged Pikmin or Yellow Pikmin should attack its underbelly while it's flipped over. If the Lesser Pillimpede is alive at half or below half health and it is on its feet, it will instantly go into a defensive curled upstate in which it will regenerate health. While curled up, the Lesser Pillimpede can be carried, but it weighs double what it would if it were defeated. It will leave its curled-up state once it reaches full health, and any Pikmin still carrying it will be knocked back.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “One of the smallest members of the usually behemoth-sized pillimpede family. This armored giant is not as docile as its largest relative, the titanic Millimpede, instead, it lashes out at anything it perceives to be a threat.”
Louie's notes
- “Incredibly succulent, tender meat is guarded by a heavy, hard outer shell. However, flipping this mighty morsel over grants a treasure hoard of delicious meat, best cooked in a large pan full of boiling water. Cook until the meat shows a delectable red coloration and serve with lemon and butter sauce.”
