{{main|Waddlepus}}

Scientific name: ''Opisteuthidae iaciobulla''

The Waddlepus is a purple octopus-like creature that is always found sleeping. When approached by Pikmin or their [[leader]]s, a Waddlepus will wake up and begin attacking them by puffing up and producing [[bubble]]s from either its mouth or the yellow pores on its back. These bubbles cannot harm Pikmin or leaders but can trap them inside. When left alone, a Waddlepus will return to its sleeping spot and return to its slumber.

==Naming==
"Flobbler" contains "flob", a term used to describe someone walking clumsily. Flobbler family members do appear to walk rather awkwardly, due to a lack of legs. In addition, "flob" is a term meaning "to spit" in parts of Europe, namely the United Kingdom. Flobbler members are also known to spit [[bubble]]s at Pikmin.

The family genus, ''Opisteuthidae'', is a shortened version of "{{w|opisthoteuthidae}}", the family belonging to the umbrella octopus, which members of the flobbler family resemble.
