Ancient Sirehound

==Summary==
The Ancient Sirehound is a dog that is found in the Cavern for a King in Pikmin 4. During the second part of the game, Shepherd and the Rescue Corps had to return to PNF-404 in order to cure Oatchi of his Pikminified tail, which kept him from leaving the planet. To cure Oatchi, the Rescue Corps needed genetic material from a non-Pikminified dog, which so happens to be the Ancient Sirehound. The player and the Rescue Corps would then chase after Louie, who would then hijack the Ancient Sirehound and cause it to go on a rampage. While the Rescue Corps were unable to collect samples directly from the Ancient Sirehound, the Rescue Corps was able to use traces of fur left on its collar to develop a cure for Oatchi's Pikminification.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: Ancient Sirehound
Origin: Pikmin (Verse)
Gender: Unknown
Age: Likely millennia (Presumed to be a common ancestor of Oatchi and Moss. For comparison, a common ancestor between domestic dogs and wolves likely diverged 30 to 40 thousand years ago.)
Classification: Dog, Deicanis perditum, hinted to be a god through its Japanese and scientific names
Powers and Abilities: Small Size (Type 1; comparable in size to the stalactites it smashed), Longevity (According to Olimar, the Ancient Sirehound was likely a common ancestor to Oatchi and Moss. Divergence from a common ancestor at the very least takes millennia to occurPikmin 4 (2023)), Transformation (It's glowing aura changes depending on its chosen element), Aura (When in its elemental forms, it's aura makes it dangerous to touch), Hair Manipulation (For each phase that utilizes an element, the Ancient Sirehound utilizes elemental furballs), Ice Manipulation, Electricity Manipulation, Statistics Amplification (The speed of its charge is enhanced by its electrical form), Fire Manipulation, Explosion Manipulation (The Sirehound's fiery furballs can explode if left alone for too long), possible Resistance Negation (Somehow killed Glow Pikmin with a fiery furball, outright ignoring their resistance to the fire element, although this could be the result of the Glow Pikmin being squashed or a game bug. Gloom also seems to ignore captain and Pikmin immunities, including the poison immunity of White Pikmin and Glow Pikmin); Flight, Death Manipulation (Gloom instantly kills Pikmin and dematerializes Glow Pikmin, which are ghosts that revert to photons when they "die"), Non-Physical Interaction (Like every other enemy, it can harm and eat Glow Pikmin), Social Influencing (It's roar can send Pikmin and Oatchi in a panic), Resistance to Electricity Manipulation (Unfazed by its own electric attacks, although the Lightning Strike item will still stun it), Fire Manipulation (Unfazed by its own exploding fireballs), and Death Manipulation (Given it shares 99.9% of its DNA with Oatchi, who only took normal damage from Gloom, it should at the very least only take normal damage from Gloom)
Attack Potency: Wall level (Slammed into a stalactite); higher with Ground Pound (It's ground pound can shatter multiple stalactites at once, presumably up to four)
Speed: Below Average Human (Should compare to or upscale from the captains and Oatchi)
Lifting Strength: Below Average Human (Superior to the Red Bulborb)
Striking Strength: Wall level
Durability: Wall level (Will get stunned by headbutting a stalactite instead of jumping at it. Pikmin cannot harm it unless it's belly is exposed)
Stamina: Superhuman (Unlike every enemy before it which died from Pikmin swarms, even the most numerous Pikmin swarms only tired it out very briefly before it ran off)
Range: Below Standard Melee Range physically; Extended Melee Range with elemental attacks
Standard Equipment: It's fuzzballs.
Intelligence: High Animalistic (Likely shares the same intelligence qualities as Oatchi and Moss)
Standard Tactics: 
* During it's first phase, the Ancient Sirehound uses it's ground pound, causing stalactites to crash into the ground and destroying already-existing stalactites. It will charge at its opponent. Should it headbutt into a stalactite rather than jump into it, it would become briefly stunned, allowing the player to toss Pikmin at its tail.
* During it's second phase, the Ancient Sirehound will fire five or seven rolling snowballs. After that, it would use it's ice breath against its opponent. Should it freeze someone, it would go right into charging into them.
* During it's third phase, the Ancient Sirehound will release three or more electric furballs, which slowly spin as they release electricity. The Ancient Sirehound would then charge at it's opponent, the electricity speeding up it's charge significantly. Once it finished it's charge, it releases electricity from it's own fur in the form of miniature lightning streams.
* During it's fourth phase, the Ancient Sirehound will release fiery fuzzballs, which would explode and let out fiery rings once they do. It would spit fireballs at it's opponent and stomp the ground, causing fiery shockwaves to appear, expanding in nearly all directions as they traveled along the ground
* During it's final phase, the Ancient Sirehound will fly, surrounding itself with a green aura as it does so. It would release orbs of Gloom: an otherworldly hazard that no Pikmin or captain can resist. It will fire bursts of Gloom from it's mouth. It will also let out a roar, causing Pikmin and Oatchi to fly into a state of panic, which may cause them to run into the festering pools of Gloom. The pools of Gloom last as long as the Ancient Sirehound is in the air.
Weaknesses: Briefly vulnerable if it's belly is exposed.
