The Spiny Coppeller is an enemy in Hey! Pikmin. It is like a normal Coppeller, but with spikes that kill Pikmin on contact, which prohibits it from carrying seeds. It's mainly found in Sector 5, Leafswirl Lagoon. The most that can be found in a single level is 5-B, Valley of the Breeze.
Notes
Hey! Pikmin Creature Log
"This seems to be a subspecies of the Coppeller that's grown spikes all over its carapace. It's well-armored but, ironically, can no longer carry seeds. Let that be a lesson that greed never gets you far in life."
Battle Strategy
Hey! Pikmin
It's immune to attacks, as Pikmin die on contact with the Spiny Coppeller. It is impossible to defeat so it is strongly advised not to attempt to attack it, and stay out of its way as it flies.
