Tropical Wiggler

Tropical Wigglers are long, colorful Wiggler variants resembling inchworms wearing floppy purple hats. They first appear in Super Mario Odyssey, where they appear in the Lost Kingdom and the Underground Moon Caverns in the Moon Kingdom. They are not aggressive, and are in fact described with such terms as "genial" and "pleasant;" however, their spiked bodies can still cause them to unwittingly damage Mario. They move by stretching their bodies outward before contracting, much like an inchworm. They often do this across pathways; this, combined with their coloration, has earned them the nickname "traffic lights of the island." Mario is capable of capturing them to travel over the Poisoned Water that fills the area.
