'''Panic''' in the {{ps}} refers to any non-lethal event that causes [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to scatter and thrash around in random directions. In a panic scenario, something has scared or affected them to the point where they separate from a [[leader]] and run off, and while these Pikmin are not in any direct danger, they risk running into a more dangerous [[hazard]] or an enemy. A panicking Pikmin can be returned to normal by [[Whistle|whistling]] it. In {{p2}}, [[Purple Pikmin]] are immune to some types of panic. In {{p4}}, [[Oatchi]] is not (and cannot become) immune to panic, unlike with most other hazards.
'''Panic''' in the {{ps}} refers to any non-[[hazard]] event that causes [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to scatter and thrash around in random directions. In a panic scenario, Pikmin are not in danger of dying, but something has scared or affected them to the point where they separate from a [[leader]] and run off. Panic scenarios occur in {{p2}} and {{p3}}, and in both games a panicking Pikmin can be returned to normal by [[Whistle|whistling]] it.


==''Pikmin 2''==
In ''Pikmin 2'', Pikmin in a panic will behave differently depending on the exact source of panic. There are several scenarios that prompt specific Pikmin to panic:
*A group of [[Mitite]]s will cause all but [[Purple Pikmin]] to temporarily panic. If the Pikmin start the panic whilst in a leader's group, they will eventually return to formation on their own accord. If not, they will stand in place and idle once they're done panicking. It is unknown what causes Pikmin to react to Mitites this way.
*An [[Emperor Bulblax]]'s roar will cause Pikmin to panic. All the rules of the Mitite-induced panic apply to this scenario.
*Pikmin under the influence of an [[Antenna Beetle]] will panic if the Antenna Beetle is killed. Pikmin will not exit this state unless whistled.
*[[Bulbmin]] will panic after the mature Bulbmin is killed. Like with the Antenna Beetle, they will not calm down until they are whistled.

==''Pikmin 3''==
In ''Pikmin 2'', Pikmin in a panic will behave differently depending on the exact source of panic. In {{p3}}, panic scenarios visually affect Pikmin, and though they spread out in random directions, they will eventually stop panicking on their own accord.  
In ''Pikmin 3'', panic scenarios visually affect Pikmin, and though they spread out in random directions, they will eventually stop panicking on their own accord.
*The [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] can spray a cloud of dust that causes Pikmin to panic, clouded in dust. Although some speculate that this is [[poison]], the two have different effects, and [[White Pikmin]] are not immune to this dust.{{cite youtube|zjZsrXtwiSk|showing how hacked-in White Pikmin are not immune to the Vehemoth Phosbat's dust}}
*[[Toady Bloyster]]s and [[Sputtlefish]] can spray ink when Pikmin are attacking, cloaking the affected Pikmin in ink and causing them to panic.


There are several scenarios that prompt Pikmin and Oatchi to panic:
==Gallery==
* '''{{icon|Mitite|y|v=P4}}''' – an enemy that will cause temporarily panic. In ''Pikmin 2'', [[Purple Pikmin]] are immune, and if the Pikmin start the panic whilst in a leader's group, they will eventually return to formation on their own accord. If not, they will stand in place and idle once they are done panicking. According to Olimar's log, the smell of Mitites is what causes this effect.
* '''{{icon|Emperor Bulblax|y|v=P4}}''' – a boss whose roar will cause Pikmin to panic. All the rules of the Mitite-induced panic apply to this scenario.
* '''{{icon|Sovereign Bulblax|y|v=P4}}''' – a boss whose roar will cause Pikmin to panic, like the Emperor Bulblax.
* '''{{icon|Antenna Beetle|y}}''' – an enemy that makes Pikmin under its control panic when it's killed. Pikmin will not exit this state unless whistled.
* '''{{icon|Bulbmin|y}}''' – an enemy that makes child Bulbmin panic when killed. Like with the Antenna Beetle, they will not calm down until they are whistled.
* '''{{icon|Vehemoth Phosbat|y}}''' – a boss that can spray a cloud of dust that causes Pikmin to panic, clouded in dust. Although some speculate that this is [[poison]], the two have different effects, and, internally, [[White Pikmin]] are not immune to this dust.{{cite youtube|zjZsrXtwiSk|showing how hacked-in White Pikmin are not immune to the Vehemoth Phosbat's dust}}
* '''{{icon|Toady Bloyster|y|v=P4}}''' – an enemy that, in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', can spray ink when Pikmin are attacking, cloaking the affected Pikmin in ink and causing them to panic.
* '''{{icon|Sputtlefish|y}}''' – an enemy that also coats Pikmin in ink, resulting in the same effect.
*'''{{icon|Smoky Progg |y|v=P4}}''' – The Smoky Progg's roar is especially dangerous, as panicking Pikmin may run directly into its [[Smoky Progg|gloom]] and die.
*'''{{icon|Ancient Sirehound|y|v=P4}}''' – The Ancient Sirehound gains a panic-inducing roar in its final phase, and like the Smoky Progg it can cause mass casualties if it makes Pikmin panic into a patch of gloom.
*In [[Dandori Battle]]s, the [[Bewilder Bomb]] allows players to splash their opponent with ink, scattering the opponent's Pikmin and respective dog.
