The term '''hazard''' in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] refers to anything that can endanger [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], including the creatures, non-living traps, and other dangers on [[PNF-404]].

Hazards that suffocate the top of a Pikmin's stem – fire, water, and poison – will cause Pikmin to run around in panic. If they are not rescued after a few seconds, they succumb to the hazard and die. They can be saved by being [[whistle]]d, although they can simply be bumped against by a leader in {{p3}}. In {{p2}}, if a Pikmin is under the effects of an [[ultra-spicy spray]], stem-related hazards take half the normal amount of time to kill it. | Hazards that suffocate the top of a Pikmin's stem – fire, water, and poison – will cause Pikmin to run around in panic.

Electricity | Electricity is a dangerous hazard in ''Pikmin 2'', but a non-fatal obstacle in ''Pikmin 3''.

Some enemies and obstacles emit electrical currents, and [[Gate#Electric gate|electric gates]] are constantly electrified. Only [[Yellow Pikmin]], Bulbmin, and Glow Pikmin are immune to electric shocks. Leaders that aren't protected with [[Anti-Electrifier|shock-resistant equipment]] will be damaged and get knocked down to the ground. | ||

Ice is a non-fatal hazard in ''Pikmin 4''. Any Pikmin except [[Ice Pikmin]] and [[Glow Pikmin]] will be frozen solid when coming into contact with this mist. As they are left completely immobilized, they are easy prey for creatures until [[whistle]]d. Oatchi can thaw himself out eventually, but the player character must mash the whistle button in order to escape. | Ice, or icy mist, is a non-fatal hazard in ''Pikmin 4''.

Some obstacles and enemies can crush Pikmin and leaders.

[[Ice Pikmin]] are immune to bubbles as they freeze them and cause them to pop right away, and [[Purple Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 4'' pop their bubbles nearly instantly. | ||

[[Bomb rock]]s explode, and any Pikmin caught in the blast will die. Leaders will also be severely hurt. In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 3'', Pikmin can [[carry]] and [[throw]] bomb rocks at enemies, making explosions both a tool and a danger. In ''Pikmin 2'', bomb rocks are mostly a threat to the player's group, and the attacks of a [[Gatling Groink]] or [[Man-at-Legs]] also count as explosive hazards. | |||

Eating is a method of attack exclusive to enemies.

Panic is a hazard that causes Pikmin to run around in a frenzy, but will eventually fade away and not cause any damage to the Pikmin. It can also be solved immediately by calling a panicked Pikmin with the whistle. Panic has taken many different forms throughout the series, and is sourced from many enemies.

So far, [[Arachnode]]s are the only enemy implied to create webs. If a Pikmin is caught on a web, the Arachnode will attempt to eat it. If the Arachnode is killed, the web will disappear. Winged Pikmin are especially prone to being caught, as they cannot walk under the web like other Pikmin. | ||

===Mud=== | |||
In {{p4}}, mud is an environmental hazard seen only in the [[Primordial Thicket]], both above and below ground. Similar to water, it can inhabit large pools and be frozen with [[Ice Pikmin]] or [[ice blasts]]. Unlike water, no Pikmin or leaders are naturally immune to it. Shallow mud can be traversed by all Pikmin types and leaders, with the only side effect being a reduced movement speed. Deep mud will cause leaders and Pikmin to drown, although Ice Pikmin can float on top and [[Winged Pikmin]] will fly above it. The [[Muckerskate]] can also use mud as a projectile. | |||

===Confusion=== | |||
[[File:Redpikminconfused.png|thumb|A Pikmin jumping up and down while confused.]] | |||
In {{p4}}, the [[Puffstool]] and the [[Groovy Long Legs]] can spray a purple gas that will confuse Pikmin, causing them to gather around the enemy and jump around in a daze. In this state, the Pikmin will have their stems clouded by the gas, and will be unresponsive to the player's whistle. In Olimar's notes on the Groovy Long Legs in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 4)|Piklopedia]], he claims this phenomenon is known as the "Endless Dance", while he and Dalmo claim the same phenomenon is called "confusion" in the Puffstool's entry. The only way to free a Pikmin from confusion is to kill the enemy that caused it, or in Moss' case, to have the Pikmin knocked down. | |||

{{Spoiler|Olimar's rescue in ''Pikmin 4''}} | |||
Before the safe is opened and the entrance to [[Leafy Showdown]] is found, [[Moss]] will roam the floors of [[Hero's Hideaway]] and attempt to collect any Pikmin she finds. If she manages to whistle the player's Pikmin, they will jump on her back as she carries them off. The Pikmin will similarly have a purple gas around their stems, and be unwhistleable. To free the Pikmin, the player must damage Moss enough until she starts to run away, which will make her drop the Pikmin. | |||

===Gloom=== | |||
[[File:Gloom.png|thumb|right|A puddle of gloom fired from the [[Ancient Sirehound]].]] | |||
Gloom is an otherworldly type of element that instantly kills Pikmin on contact, regardless of their invulnerabilities, and can also damage leaders. It goes unnamed in ''Pikmin'', and comes only in the form of the gray and green gas left behind by the [[Smoky Progg]]. In ''Pikmin 4'', it gets named in a [[loading screen]] tip and is colored red. Here, it is used by the Smoky Progg and the [[Ancient Sirehound]]. | |||
