'''Fiddleheads''' ({{j|ゼンマイ|Zenmai|{{w|Osmunda japonica}}}}) are [[plant]]s in {{p2}} which resemble the head of a {{w|violin}} due to their twisted stem and curling head, hence their name. In real life, fiddleheads are the furled fronds of young ferns, and in ''Pikmin 2'', they are common in watery or damp environments and are used as scenery in many caves. Like in real life, fiddleheads reproduce via the release of {{w|spore}}s rather than using {{w|pollen}} and {{w|seed}}s. This is never shown in-game, but is mentioned in [[Captain Olimar]]'s [[Olimar's notes|notes]].

Fiddleheads are not identified by name in {{p4}}, but they visibly grow on the backs of [[Sovereign Bulblax]]es.
