The '''huntinpeck family''' is a family first introduced in {{p3}}, although the family went unclassified until {{hp}}. There are currently three members of this family. Members of this family resemble chimaeras of insects and birds, and hunt by impaling prey on their sharp beaks before consuming them.
The '''Huntinpeck Family''' is a family first named in ''[[Hey! Pikmin]]'', Though they may have been introduced in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. There is only one confirmed member of this family, but it is speculated that there may be as many as three, as it is plausible that the ''[[Scornet]]'' and ''[[Scornet Maestro]]'' are members of this family. Members of this family resemble chimaeras of Insects and birds, and hunt by impailing prey on their sharp beaks before consuming them.
 
Members share the ''Spourgitis'' genus.

Scientific name: '' Spourgitis advenus'' (worker)
Scornets are a combination of a bee and hummingbird native to the [[Twilight River]] area, resembling cone shaped fuzzy bees with beady blue eyes and large golden feathers. When not commanded by a Scornet Maestro, swarms aimlessly fly around. If any Pikmin are spotted, they form an arrow shape with their facial stingers erect and charge. Pikmin who are caught must be saved before the Scornets kill them.

=== Scornet Maestro ===

{{main|Scornet Maestro}}
Scientific name: '' Spourgitis advenus'' (queen)
The Scornet Maestro is the fourth boss of {{p3}}, and the queen of a large Scornet colony in the Twilight River. It looks like a large Scornet with a long beak, red and yellow eyes, arms that end in cotton covered hands, and a small tail. The Scornet Maestro strums the strings in its mouth like a harp to command it's colony to arrange in different offensive formations. The Scornet Maestro is only vulnerable when its Scornets fly away after an attack.

Sparrowheads are small creatures that usually travel in groups of at least two. When approaced by the player, they will fly towards them causing damage and impailing pikmin before flying away. It takes only one pikmin to kill them.
Scientific name: '' Spourgitis apium''
 
Sparrowheads are small creatures that usually travel in groups of at least two. They have a yellow, orange-dotted body, and a small pointy beak. When approached by the player, they appear from off-screen, stand in place to face a Pikmin, and after a few seconds, swoop down for the kill. This pause leaves them vulnerable, and they only take one Pikmin throw to kill.

==Naming==
== Naming ==
The Huntinpeck family is a pun on "Hunt and Peck", which aptly describes this families' behavior.
Huntinpeck is a portmanteau of "hunting" and "peck", since its members swoops down to peck at Pikmin. It could also be a pun on "hunt in packs", as members are usually found in groups. Additionally, it could also be a pun on the expression "{{w|Typing#Hunt and peck|hunt and peck}}", a method of typing on a keyboard. Members will stand in place before making a move, similar to the typing method.
 
The genus ''Spourgitis'' is Greek for "sparrow", a type of bird. Members of the huntinpeck family resemble birds, one even having "sparrow" in its name.
