Editing Enemy

Defeated enemies may drop [[pellet]]s, which can be brought to an [[Onion]] to exchange for Pikmin seeds. Defeated enemies that leave a corpse can also be returned to an Onion to also exchange for Pikmin seeds. Additionally, corpses can also be brought back to the [[Research Pod]] and the [[SPERO]] in exchange for [[Poko]]s, or the [[S.S. Beagle]] for [[Sparklium]]. An enemy under the effect of an [[ultra-bitter spray]] or being [[Ice|frozen]] will vanish when its [[health]] drops to zero; [[nectar]]s or [[spray]]s then have a chance of dropping instead.

It is unconfirmed how most of the enemies are named, but it is known in most games that Olimar names them, as he bases the [[Bulborb]]'s name after his dog, [[Bulbie]]. The Nintendo Power Player's Guide for ''Pikmin'' and the Prima Guide for ''New Play Control! Pikmin'' both confirm that Olimar named every enemy from ''Pikmin''. {{p3}} is more confusing, however, since the names of enemies are only seen through [[lock-on|locking-on]]. It is possible the Koppaites name them immediately after they see each enemy, but its more likely the lock-on is just for the player and is not what the Koppaites actually see. For repeating enemies, it could be the [[KopPad]] has the names Olimar created stored inside it, like in the [[Insect Condo]]'s case.{{cite quote|{{notes:Insect Condo/brittanyus}}|[[Brittany]]|Brittany's notes on the [[Insect Condo]]}}

==Trivia==

*When the player first delivers an enemy to the [[Research Pod]], a cutscene plays with the Hocotate ship complaining that it's not a treasure, although it's still good for some Pokos. However, if an enemy of this species has already been delivered to an [[Onion]] before on the current playthrough, the Research Pod will just accept the enemy like normal without a cutscene. The cutscene can later be played by delivering a new species of enemy that has never been delivered to an Onion.{{cite youtube|Y8QaqABm7dU|explaining what does and doesn't trigger the Hocotate ship's corpse complaint cutscene}}
