Editing Scornet Maestro

|attacks    = Order Scornets at Pikmin

The '''Scornet Maestro''' ({{j|タテゴトハチスズメ|Tategoto Hachi Suzume|Harp Bee Sparrow}}) is the [[boss]] of the [[Twilight River]] in {{p3}} and the fourth major boss encountered in [[Story Mode]]. It quickly abducts [[Louie]] before the player can reach him. It resembles a queen bee of sorts, since it is able to command a swarm of [[Scornet]]s using its harp-like beak. This beak will even produce harp music when each attack is happening.

 

It cannot be attacked while its swarm is surrounding it, requiring the leaders to do so when the swarm becomes absent after one of its coordinated attacks. Once the creature is defeated, it will drop the [[Seed Hive]] and Louie, and all one hundred of the Scornets it commanded will instantly die.

{{transcript|The Scornet Maestro is located in the Twilight River. As its name implies, this creature attacks by controlling a swarm of Scornets.

The Scornet Maestro is well defended by its minions. Avoid attacking while the Scornets are in the area. Each time the Scornets move into a tight formation, avoid their attack and allow them to fly out of the area. When it's safe, use your [[Winged Pikmin]] to bring the vulnerable Scornet Maestro to the ground, then have the rest of your squad charge in to attack. When the Scornets return to the area, gather your Pikmin and repeat the process.

Each time a Scornet manages to impale one of your Pikmin, defeat the enemy before your Pikmin succumbs to its injuries.|block=y}}

In [[Defeat Bosses!]], the player can refight the Scornet Maestro. The time limit is 10 minutes. The only exit of the arena is blocked off by a "keep out" sign. The player can use Alph (player 1's starting leader), Brittany (player 2's starting leader), and Charlie. Their order in ''Pikmin 3'' is Alph, Brittany, Charlie, and in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' the [[action menu|order]] is Brittany, Charlie, Alph. 100 Pikmin are on the field in this mission, but only 50 start in the player's squad: 30 [[Winged Pikmin]] and 20 [[Red Pikmin]]. Around the edges of the arena are groups of buried Pikmin. There are two groups of 10 Winged Pikmin, two groups of 10 Red Pikmin, and one group of 10 [[Rock Pikmin]]. The Pikmin in the squad from the start all have the leaf [[maturity]], while the buried Pikmin have a mix of bud and flower maturities. If at any point during this fight all of the player's Winged Pikmin are lost, the game will display a message stating that it is impossible to damage the boss, and will ask if the player wants to give up or continue regardless.

If any Pikmin are captured, the Scornets will form a circle around the Scornet Maestro and will eat them after a few seconds. Throw Pikmin at the Scornets to save them.

If all the Scornet Maestro's Scornets are killed, it will use a period during which it would normally create an attack formation to summon more onto the field from the trees in the background.

The Scornet Maestro will only attempt to attack the leader that is currently active. This can be used to an advantage by having an unoccupied leader stand away from another leader who has all the Pikmin. When the Scornet Maestro begins an attack, it will lock on the current leader, and will not switch targets, meaning that at this point, you can swap from the defenseless leader to one with Pikmin, and attack it by swarming it with Winged Pikmin. Once it falls to the ground, pelt the creature with Rock Pikmin to rapidly diminish its health. The lonesome leader will receive damage from the Scornet attacks, but unless their [[health]] was low at the start of the battle, they will be able to endure the strikes without much of a problem.

In [[Mission Mode]] with two players, the boss will only ever target the first player's leader. It is not known how the boss targets players during 2 player story mode in ''Deluxe''.

*The Scornet Maestro is similar to [[metroid:Helios|Helios]] from ''[[metroid:Metroid Prime 3: Corruption|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. Both Helios and the Scornet Maestro are smaller bosses (in comparison to other bosses) that use smaller minions to both protect themselves and attack the player.

*During its battle, even if the player [[Lock-on|locks-on]] the Scornets, it will lock-on to the Scornet Maestro instead.

*Interestingly, when the Scornet Maestro is defeated, not only will the Scornet Maestro's corpse fall, but all the Scornets as well, which can be brought back to the [[Onion]]. Normally, Scornets are not retrievable when defeated.  

*The Scornet Maestro can command up to one hundred Scornets at the same time, much like the player's leaders can control up to the [[Pikmin limit|same amount of Pikmin]].

*Although the Scornet Maestro is a queen &ndash; as stated in Olimar's reports, and in its name in certain languages &ndash; it has a {{w|hair-pencil}}, a furry appendage on the abdomen that releases pheromones used by ''male'' butterflies to attract mates. The Scornet Maestro instead uses those pheromones to control the Scornets, as queen bees do without hair-pencils.
