In Pikmin V, the Pale Slushop is an enemy encountered late into the story that is normally buried in snow in high places. As its name indicates, it's a very pale color, specifically a light mint green. It resembles a cross between a frog and salamander, with a frog-like face and an inflating sac that it uses to launch goop balls that freeze Pikmin on contact. Once they are frozen, which is dangerous on its own since there are no ice-immune Pikmin, it will jump down to eat them. This reveals the full extent of its salamander-like body, with hind legs and a tail; its forelegs are tiny and unusable.
Notes
Brittany's notes
- “The Pale Slushop has adapted to a mostly terrestrial life by utilizing the water content of the snowy environments it lives in. Its body contains salts that prevent it from freezing at normal temperatures, and it buries itself as both defense and a form of immersion to rehydrate its skin. It builds mounds when hunting and uses its otherwise vestigial throat sac to launch freezing goop to capture prey. Eggs are laid in meltwater pools, and the larval stage is short due to common freezes or drainage of the pools.”
Olimar's notes
- “Because of how it hunts, it is usually out of reach of non-Yellow Pikmin, and sometimes even them too, limiting attack options to Wingeds and possibly Claweds. You'll want to bait it down by letting a Pikmin get frozen and then charge it once it jumps down to eat.”
Louie's notes
- “Its size and internal salts make it a natural fit for curing into amphibian jerky, which has a unique flavor compared to more standard Grub-dog brands.”
