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.

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.

|common    = Coppeller. It is a combination of "helicopter" and "propeller", coming from the way it flies with a propeller.  
The creature's English name is a combination of "helicopter" and "propeller", coming from the way it flies, with a propeller. Its Japanese name translates to "Stash Bug", coming from the way it stashes various objects, and how it is very bug-like in appearance.

|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.

*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.
