These creatures usually swim passively around in water, usually in groups of three or more. When one spots a group of Pikmin, it approaches the nearest Pikmin, grabs it, and quickly swims away. If the player attacks the Blinnow, it will drop the Pikmin and try to jump out of the water to avoid being attacked. If not attacked in time, they will eat the caught Pikmin. They can also jump out of the water to catch any [[Winged Pikmin]] flying overhead, and go to the surface to catch any non-Blue Pikmin that is struggling. It is very swift in the water, but it can only grab one Pikmin at a time. These creatures have a tendency to cause caught Pikmin to launch high into the air after death, if they had one in their jaws.

===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide===

"''Puckering Blinnows are small aquatic creatures that use their narrow bills to skewer unsuspecting victims. Puckering Blinnows tend to congregate; as you attack one Puckering Blinnow, there's a good chance a second enemy will attack your squad.''

''When you encounter a Puckering Blinnow, use a squad of Blue Pikmin to charge the creature. When a Puckering Blinnow skewers one of your Pikmin, make that enemy your primary target – if you're lucky, at least part of your squad will automatically follow the enemies as it retreats. A skewered Pikmin can survive for a few seconds. Move quickly to defeat a Puckering Blinnow before its victim succumbs to its injuries.''"

{{naming

|common    = "Puckering" is when somebody shapes their lips for a kiss, much like how the Puckering Blinnow's mouth normally is. "Blinnow" is a combination of "{{w|blenny}}" and "{{w|minnow}}", two types of real-life fish.

|jpcommon  = {{j|ウオノコ|Uo no Ko}}. It translates to "Fish Child", given its tiny size. The name ends in {{j|コ|ko}}, similar to members of the [[mandiblard family]], possibly in reference to their similar role as weak enemies that appear in groups.

|jpname    = {{j|クチボソバナナウオ|Kuchiboso Banana Uo|Narrow-mouthed Banana Fish}}.
