[[File:Pikmin Bulborbs.png|thumb|250px|A [[Bulborb]] and a [[Dwarf Bulborb]] together, two of the most iconic enemies in the series.]] | |||
[[File: | '''Enemies''' ({{j|原生生物|Gensei Seibutsu|Primitive Creature}}) are creatures that, in general, pose a hazard to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. There are many types of enemies in the {{ps}}, with varying appearances, behaviors, and levels of hostility. [[Combat]] against enemies constitutes a major part of gameplay in all {{pg}}. | ||
'''Enemies''' ({{j|原生生物|Gensei Seibutsu|Primitive Creature}}) are | |||
Enemies have varied attacks, and some take advantage of [[hazard]]s to cause damage to Pikmin who are not immune to them. Offensively, enemies either eat Pikmin or hurt them with attacks, both melee and projectile-based, and with effects that range from pushing the Pikmin off to outright killing them. A few enemies are incapable of directly killing Pikmin. | Enemies have varied attacks, and some take advantage of [[hazard]]s to cause damage to Pikmin who are not immune to them. Offensively, enemies either eat Pikmin or hurt them with attacks, both melee and projectile-based, and with effects that range from pushing the Pikmin off to outright killing them. A few enemies are incapable of directly killing Pikmin. | ||
Killed 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, the [[Research Pod]], or the [[SPERO]], being exchanged for [[Poko]]s in the case of the latter two. An enemy under the effect of an [[ultra-bitter spray]] will vanish when its [[health]] drops to zero; [[nectar]]s or [[spray]]s then have a chance of dropping instead. | |||
Some enemies contain important items like [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s, [[fruit | Some enemies contain important items like [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s, or [[fruit]]s, which they drop when defeated; these will still be dropped even if the creature was petrified. Most downed enemies will also safely release any Pikmin in their grasp, regardless of any apparently fatal damage caused when the Pikmin was trapped (like the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]]'s impalement). This allows otherwise doomed Pikmin to be saved. | ||
It is unconfirmed how | It is unconfirmed how 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]]. {{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]]}} | ||

Most enemies roam around in a specific location of the [[area]], leaving only to chase after or run away from Pikmin or [[leader]]s. Some enemies are quite dedicated to their initial spots, returning to them after wandering too far, while others, like the [[Spotty Bulbear]] in {{p2}}, will patrol a certain area and can even chase the player all the way to the [[Onion]]s. The locations in which enemies can be found sometimes depend on their nature. For instance, the fur-coated [[Hairy Bulborb]]s are better suited to cold environments, and as such, are commonly found in ice-themed [[cave]]s. | Most enemies roam around in a specific location of the [[area]], leaving only to chase after or run away from Pikmin or [[leader]]s.

As threats to Pikmin, enemies can attack in a variety of ways, the most common one being eating them. They can also [[Crushing|crush]] them, kill them with a [[hazard]] they're vulnerable to, and knock them out with an explosion, among other methods. For some of these attacks, there is a cap on the number of Pikmin that can be affected by it. For instance, in {{p1}}, a [[Bulborb]] may only grab and eat three Pikmin at most with a single bite, but in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', five can fall prey to the same bite. The exception to this is the enemies in {{hp}}, which more often than not, kill Pikmin and damage Olimar by simply touching them. | As threats to Pikmin, enemies can attack in a variety of ways, the most common one being eating them.
