Editing Koppaite

'''Koppaites '''are a sentient race featured in [[Pikmin 3]]. Their current home planet is [[Koppai]]. They are very similar to[[File:3_Leaders.jpg|thumb|[[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and [[Charlie]] on the surface of [[PNF-404]], looking for food to save their home planet, Koppai.]] [[Hocotatian]]s, although they have a few differences that make them distinguishable.
==Anatomy==
Koppaites stand around the size of a nickle, the same general size of a Hocotatian. Unlike Hocotatians, however, Koppaits seem to grow more hair on their heads, have smaller noses, and have different eyes; while a Hocotatian's eyes appear small, squinted, and black normally, but inflate into a more circular shape to expose their irises when startled, Koppaites always have thei irises exposed, while their corneas simply shrink when they are startled.

Similar to Hocotatians, Koppaites cannot breath oxygen and must wear a protective suit while on the surface of [[PNF-404]].

Koppaites are only capable of metabolizing a substance called '''''Piktamin-U. '''''It is explained by [[Brittany]] that [[Pikpik Carrot]]s do not contain Piktamin-U, which is the reason why [[Hocotate Freight]] could not help with Koppai's food crisis. Fortunately, the massive fruits found on PNF-404 contain this large amounts of the substance.

[[Alph]] mentions that the Koppaite's brain is incapable of deciding whether or not they are still hungry, meaning they can continuously eat without stopping. Alph states this is the very reason Koppai was doomed from the moment the Koppaites began to inhabit it.

Koppaites can also speak the same language as Hocotatians, as the ending cutscene of Pikmin 3 involved the three Koppaites and [[Captain Olimar]] having a discussion.
