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 name "huntinpeck" is a portmanteau of "hunting" and "peck", since the predator birds swoops down to peck at Pikmin, but it is also a pun on the expression "hunt and peck". This expression refers to people typing with a typewriter or computer keyboard, that have to first hunt down the key they want, so they can then peck at it with one finger. The fact that these enemies will stand in place to search for a Pikmin, before finally swooping in helps explain the choice of the family name. Finally, since they usually hunt in groups, the name could also be a pun on "hunt in packs".
