The '''Ravenous Whiskerpillar''' ({{j|ハナゲイモ|Hanage Imo|Nose Hair Caterpillar}}) is an [[enemy]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. Ravenous Whiskerpillars are not harmful to the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], but are dangerous to the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] plants. They will eat the berries on the plants, which are necessary to make [[sprays]]. They can be found in the [[Awakening Wood]], the [[Perplexing Pool]] and the [[Wistful Wild]]; each time, they are near two or more [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] plants. When confronted on a Burgeoning Spiderwort, they will drop off the plant and burrow into the ground, giving the player a chance to attack it. When defeated, they don't actually die; a soul does not appear when they become carriable, and having Pikmin carry them will make the creatures squirm and hiss. When getting sucked into an [[Onion]], they struggle even more rapidly. The in-game [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] states that they are a larval form of another creature, but it says that mature specimens have not been found yet.
The '''Ravenous Whiskerpillar''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19px;">ハナゲイモ) </span>is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. These enemies are not harmful to the Pikmin, but are dangerous to the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] plants. They will eat the berries on the plants, which are necessary to make sprays. They can be found in the [[Awakening Wood]], the [[Perplexing Pool]] and the [[Wistful Wild]]; each time, they are near two or more [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] plants. When confronted, they will drop off the plant and burrow into the ground. Strangely enough, when killed, they don't seem to be dead; carrying them will make them squirm and emit more of their hissing, and a spirit does not appear. Just before they are pulled into the onion, they struggle and hiss even more rapidly. The in-game Piklopedia states that they are a larval form of another creature, but it says that mature specimens have not been found yet. Interestingly, even though it is the only enemy that does not appear in any underground areas, it has a treasure value of {{Pokos}}x1 according to the [[Piklopedia]].

==Notes==
===Olimar's Notes===
''"As this species of insect has only recently been discovered, fully mature specimens have yet to be collected. No molting or metamorphosis has been observed during the observation period, making it unlikely that mature whiskerpillars will be encountered anytime soon. Based on active predation by Pikmin, it is believed that the whiskerpillar's place in the food chain has not changed over time."''
===Louie's Notes===
''"Delicious skillet-seared or sauteed with scallions and a red Genovese sauce."''

If it's on a Burgeoning Spiderwort, send a couple of Pikmin up there to bring it down, then [[Group move|swarm]] it with the rest when it falls. Otherwise, just swarm it.
If it's on a flower, send a couple of Pikmin up there to bring it down, then swarm it with the rest when it falls. Otherwise, just swarm it.
 
===Leaders===
If it's on a Burgeoning Spiderwort, then wait for it to eat all the berries and kill it when it hops off of the plant. If on the ground, just [[punch]] it until it's dead. If the [[Rocket Fist]] upgrade has been unlocked, the third punch can hit the Whiskerpillar only when it's on the ''very bottom'' part of the berries.

{{naming
|common    = "Ravenous" means "starving", and "Whiskerpillar" is a combination of "whisker" and "caterpillar". Indeed, the creature is always hungry for berries, and looks like a regular real world {{w|caterpillar}}, but with whiskers.
|scientific = ''Lepidoptera pluckieus''. ''Lepidoptera'' (being used here as a genus), is the real world order of insects that include moths and butterflies, and ''pluckieus'' being similar to the English word "pluck", perhaps related to how the berries removed from the flower could be considered "plucked".
|jpcommon  = {{j|ハナゲイモ|Hanage Imo}}. {{j|ハナゲ|hanage}} is Japanese for "nose hair", referring to its whisker-like hairs, and {{j|イモ|imo}} is likely part of the word {{j|イモムシ|imomushi}}, which means "hornworm" (the caterpillar of a hawk moth).

== Trivia ==
[[File:Pikmin 3 Ravenous Whiskerpillar.png|thumb|The Ravenous Whiskerpillar-like creature, called <code>moguraimo</code> in the game's files.]]
*An enemy similar to the Ravenous Whiskerpillar was meant to appear in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', according to some [[Unused content in Pikmin 3|unused files]].
*Louie's recipe implies that he killed the specimen itself, as the Whiskerpillar does not die when defeated.

*The Ravenous Whiskerpillar was originally going to be called the Fuzzy Whiskerpillar.
