The '''Coppeller''' ({{j|ヘソクリムシ|Hesokuri Mushi|Stash Bug}}) is an [[enemy]] found in ''[[Hey! Pikmin]]''. It is a small quadrupedal insectoid creature with flower petal-like wings that rotate like a helicopter's blades. It has large red eyes, a trait common to all [[scarpanid]]s, two tiny antennae, and has a light green spot where its "propeller" part is attached. It has four dark green claws on each of its limbs, allowing the creature have a good grip on the objects it holds. The creature's whole body is green, and is about half the height of [[Captain Olimar]]. However, its propeller makes up most of it, so including that it's nearly the same height as the captain.

It appears from offscreen in certain locations, and will fly around in a set path. They are known for [[carrying]] various objects, such as [[Sparklium Seed]]s, [[heart]]s, [[treasure]]s, and even [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. If the player doesn't kill them fast enough, they will fly offscreen and cannot be seen again.

== Behavior ==
Coppellers spawn into levels carrying various items, including [[Sparklium]], [[heart|health]], and even captured [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. They fly in set patterns, but only stay on-screen for a limited amount of time; if they are allowed to escape, the items and Pikmin they hold will be lost.

== Locations ==
* '''[[Brilliant Garden]]'''
** [[First Expedition]]
* '''[[Leafswirl Lagoon]]'''
** [[Valley of the Breeze]]
** [[Bed of Fallen Leaves]]
** [[Gale-Force Glen]]
* '''[[Snowfall Field]]'''
**[[Freezing Wasteland]]
**[[Over Wintry Mountains]]
**[[Ordeal of Flame]]
* '''[[Lushlife Murk]]'''
**[[Scourge of the Skies]]
**[[Olimar's Madcap Ride]]

A Coppeller can also appear in the [[Central Pikmin Park]].

== Strategy ==
{{Guide}}
Coppellers can be killed with a single well-timed Pikmin throw.

While Coppellers cannot directly kill Pikmin, any Pikmin they spawn carrying will be considered killed if they aren't rescued before their captor flies away.

A Coppeller may appear in the [[Central Pikmin Park]] if there are no Pikmin in the area. This specimen cannot harm or capture Pikmin in any way, but it does carry a [[Sparklium Seed]]. Pikmin can be sent to the area to shoo away the Coppeller, causing it to leave the Seed behind and give you some free Sparklium.

==Naming==
{{naming
|common    = Coppeller. It is a combination of "helicopter" and "propeller", coming from the way it flies with a propeller. 
|jpcommon   = {{j|ヘソクリムシ|Hesokuri Mushi}}. It translates to "Stash Bug", coming from the way it stashes various objects, and how it is very bug-like in appearance.
|jpname     = {{j|ミドリヒメモチサライムシ|Midori Hime Sarai Mushi|Green Lesser Kidnapping Bug}}.
|scientific = ''Scarpanica viridelacus princeps'' in the American English version and ''Viridelacus princeps'' in the British English version. ''Scarpanica'' is the genus of most [[scarpanid]]s. ''Viridelacus'' is a combination of ''viridis'', Latin for green, and ''delacus'', perhaps derived from delicate, referring to the enemy dying in one hit. ''Princeps'' is Latin for leader.

*The French, German, and Italian localizations use the American name while both Spanish localizations use the European one.
*While this is a harmless enemy as it can't attack Pikmin directly, any Pikmin that start in their clutches can still die if not saved.
