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. | Defeated enemies may drop [[pellet]]s, which can be brought to an [[Onion]] to exchange for Pikmin seeds.

Some enemies contain important items like [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s, [[fruit]]s and [[castaway]]s, which they drop when defeated; these will still be dropped even if the creature was petrified | Some enemies contain important items like [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s, [[fruit]]s and [[castaway]]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 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]]}} | 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]].

*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}} | *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.

*It is implied by Alph that enemy corpses disappear after some amount of days because larger enemies eat them.{{cite quote|When the sun sets we are forced to retreat to the skies, but I do so wonder what happens on the ground at night. If the creatures on the surface are nocturnal, things probably get pretty dangerous. Fallen animals and wayward Pikmin must get gobbled up in no time. I'm so glad the Drake is operational...|[[Alph]]|a [[Pikmin 3 Voyage Log|Voyage Log]] entry}} If this is true, there must be unknown nocturnal enemies capable of consuming creatures up to the size of the [[Sandbelching Meerslug]], as even it disappears after some time. | |||
