The Creeping Chrysanthemum is an enemy in Pikmin 2. When dormant, it greatly resembles the large yellow flowers known as the Margaret used for level scenery. It can be told apart from the normal flowers, as it has one less flower, no leaves on the "stem", and the large flowers have the Chrysanthemum's eyes visible.

When the Pikmin or the pilots get close, it will spring out of the ground, revealing its root-arms, its bulbous body, and the center flower becomes a gigantic mouth. It moves moderately slowly, and will return to its original spot if left alone for a while. It replants itself by standing above the spot where it originally came from and sucking itself into the ground until only the 'flowers' remain. This enemy is not able to be petrified while it is in the ground.

It is possible that their appearance is based on Piranha Plants.

The Chrysanthemum is also a collectible trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
