Scientific name: ''Pseudocephalopoda florascens''

The Sputtlefish is an aquatic enemy that debuted in ''Pikmin 3''. They are small, aquatic creatures that vaguely resemble real-world cephalopods, grabbing Pikmin with their tentacles and eating them one at a time. Sputtlefish can squirt ink to defend themselves against attackers such as Pikmin, causing them to run around in [[panic]], and take advantage of the ensuing chaos by fleeing and [[regeneration|regaining health]].
