After the Pikmin's death. A parasite took control of it's corpse. The parasite dug two giant holes into the flesh of the Pikmin. Many of these reanimated corpses are hostile and aren't limited to Pikmin. How it works: It will grab a enemy with one of it stems and will send out two spikes into the holes in where the corpses eyes once were. The spikes are only sharp enough to slightly enter the skin of its prey. These spikes will take the fluids from the prey and sucks it dry. Its eyes are on its fake flowers. While it consumes its prey it will use its other stem to take keep anything trying to take its prey away from it away.
reanimare means Reanimate in Latin
