Editing Pikmin Behavior (Exploration Notes)

[[File:Exploration Notes (Pikmin Behavior) P3.jpg|thumb|300px|The Pikmin Behavior menu.]]

'''Pikmin Behavior''' ({{j|ピクミンの生態|Pikumin no Seitai}}, lit.: "Pikmin Ecology"; '''Pikminology''' in [[Region|Europe]]) is a category from the [[Exploration Notes]] menu in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It holds 30 [[data file]]s discussing the behavior and abilities of all the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Most of these data files can be found around [[PNF-404]] just about anywhere, hidden or not, while some are automatically given to the player after completing certain tasks.

Although the category itself is called "Pikmin Behavior" in the US and "Pikminology" in Europe, any data files related to the way Pikmin behave have the word "Pikminology" on their title in both regions.
