Hey! maybey the waterwraith is akin to the Smoky Progg. Notice the posture, and they both look see-through. I'm betting my pokos on the Smoky Progg being the muntant child of a Waterwraith! {{User:EvilLouie13/sig.}}

It can also be a physic phenomenon, Because only purples can anchor it into reality. Another point of interest is this; do you see any vital organs? A "physical phenomenon", indeed! {{User:EvilLouie13/sig.}}

You actually might be onto something CL. It is also possible the water has a sort of thin, rubbery cell membrane surrounding the internal organs because all the Pikmin do is bounce off. A Puple Pikmins hair might actually rupture the membrane causing ribosomes to create a vunerable layer of protien to keep the waterwraith from explodeing.
 
BTW yes, I agree. The Waterwraith is scary at first. Especialy if it lands right on top of you from the start.

== "Created From Fears"? I Think Olimar Meant Something Else... ==
 
Um, guys? The article says that the Waterwraith may be created from the fear of other things. Where in Olimar's entry does it imply that? I think somebody might've misinterpreted something they read. From what I've read, Olimar says that fear and exhaustion have nullified a witness's logic and therefore could be explained as something perfectly normal mistaken for an otherworldly occurrence. [[User:LE the Creator|LE the Creator]] 01:56, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 
:''"...which has led to suspicion that exhaustion and fear have caused some simple natural phenomenon to be viewed as a living creature."''
:Yeah, you're right. I dunno when that part in the intro was written, or by whom. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}
 
::@GJ: Fix your siggy... @LE/JJ: I wouldn't of caught that, I'll fix it, if it is not already. {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}
 
If it was created by fear which is only a emotion, then why would it have a physical body of what looks like gel and have the ability to manipulate a pair of stones?
 
:Have you heard of the Zero Two (O2) from Kirby 64? He is created out of negative emotions (i.e. sadness and anger).--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}} 01:29, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
The idea is that the Waterwraith doesn't actually exist at all. In reality, only the rocks exist (perhaps not in that shape), the form of the Waterwraith is a mental fabrication. For this to be true, we must assume that:
 
1) The fight with it at the end of the dungeon didn't really happen, or in the very least, all that happened was that the Purple Pikmin crushed the stone.
 
2) The ship's AI is more advanced than previously indicated, or perhaps biological in part.
 
3) Electron Sheilding free particles must be present in the cave (Bully's Den not counted), ones that could bypass a spacesuit and cause halucinations. Other halucinogenics couldn't possibly be the cause.
 
Of course, the idea is ridiculous, and is simply a post-design story addition that serves no real purpose. Still, it's fun to talk about. I like the idea that it exists within another Nintendo universe, and is actively hunting a different Protagonist, whose actions are parallel to Olimar's, and that it is completely unaware of its ability to manipulate other dimensions. [[User:Muzzmotor|Muzzmotor]] 09:20, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 
== Theories ==
 
Olimar and the Pikmin are 3-D, correct? Since Pikmin seem to have no effect on Waterwraith, I am led to believe that it exists in the ninth dimension... and perhaps the gravitational attraction of the Purple Pikmin allows them to disrupt the Waterwraith's dimensional structure to bring it down to their own dimension, which can be explained when the Purple Pikmin hit it; Waterwraith crouches down and achieves a more solid-looking state. Or maybe Purple Pikmin and Waterwraith have positive and negative charges, drawing them together, creating a huge impact that stuns the Waterwraith. And I have yet another theory. Since Waterwraith turns a purple-ish color when Purples hit it, which is the same color as themselves, perhaps the Purple Pikmin have some sort of influence on Waterwraith.
 
P.S. I was so scared when I saw Waterwraith!! I ran away and never wanted to enter again. It fell from the sky and rolled over my Pikmin! But then I went in and fought it and realized, it isn't scary after all. It has pretty low health and once you destroy its rollers, it runs away like a scaredy-cat. It's just a bully. [User:Falcoz|Falcoz]] 22:27, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

This creature is only scary due to it's sudden appearance... and the fact that it hunts you relentlessly. Otherwise, place the Flubber creature on some cylanders, and wala. Though its anatomical structure confuses me... Most Pikmin creatures have stable structures (even if they are anatomically incorrect to real life creatures) but this... ''how does this thing work?

==Theory==
Louie went crazy when he ate the Water Wraith which used him to its will. During Pikmin 3, the Plasm Wraith cares for Olimar as a result of being inside Louie as the two obtained each others traits. Also Louie runs away from the Koppai crew due to feeling captured again. The emperor Bulbax from Pikmin 1, Arachnobe family, Smoky Progg, are Illusions made by the Wraith. It came there from the Meteors from the games. In Pikmin 3, the few remaining Particles come down and upgrade the Wraith causing the Koppai crew to crash. Same with the other two crashes and the unlock of the Final areas of Pikmin 1 and 2. The Titan Dweevil is also a Illusion made by the Wraith. [[User:Pikifan4|Pikifan4]] ([[User talk:Pikifan4|talk]]) 13:45, 27 January 2016 (EST)
 
 
Also, no matter what, the WaterWraith completly ignores Louie and all Pikmin under his command in the New Play Control Version of Pikmin 2 and goes for the captain, going on the infamous Umi~Bozu Theory, as the beast only goes for the Captain, explaining why it chases the Koppaites during the Final battle of Pikmin 3 and the maze. It goes for Brittany first due to acting like a captain, Charlie for being a Captain, then Alph because the Captain usually owns the ship. Also Olimar made it all possible, another reason he is cared for. [[User:Pikifan4|Pikifan4]] ([[User talk:Pikifan4|talk]]) 15:34, 1 February 2016 (EST)

== About the Japanese version of Waterwraith Louie's Notes. ==
 
About the Japanese version of Waterwraith Louie's Notes.
I have translated the Japanese version of the Waterwraith recipe into English and am posting it here.
On the Japanese version, Louie says Waterwraith has yet to be heard of cooked.
In the Japanese version, this is how he says, "I have yet to hear of this being cooked, and I don't know if this creature really exists." {{unsigned|Tomoes12}}
 
== Japanese Name ==
 
In my opinion, "アメボウズ" definitely means "Candy Bald Head".
First, Japanese don't use "雨(rain)" to express stuff's texture, while use "飴(candy)".
e.g.タマネギを飴色になるまで炒める。(Saute onions until its color turns into candy-brown.)
Second, "ボウズ" also means bald head, and its main usage today is this one. We Japanese don't visit temple and meet priest or monk so often! --[[User:PortableSunset|PortableSunset]] ([[User talk:PortableSunset|talk]]) 10:12, March 10, 2021 (EST)
 
:All right, makes sense. Plus these enemies aren't really related to monks or priests, although they are mysterious. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 15:02, March 11, 2021 (EST)
 
:Actually, come to think of it, the [[Plasm Wraith]]'s name is {{j|アメニュウドウ|Ame Nyuudou}}. Doesn't this mean that the Waterwraith's name is a pun on priests, and the Plasm Wraith is a pun on monks? &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 15:08, March 11, 2021 (EST)
 
::In my opinion,
::*"ボウズ(bouzu)" - Japanese Buddhism priests or monks, their head is bald. Or mainly, Baldy head.
::*"ニュウドウ(nyudo)" - Japanese Buddhism priests or monks. Or mainly, Baldy yokai(monster). Nyudou yokais tend to be big. "{{j|入道雲|Nyudou Gumo|Nyudo cloud}}" (Cumulonimbus cloud) is named after its huge monster-like shape. --[[User:PortableSunset|PortableSunset]] ([[User talk:PortableSunset|talk]]) 23:13, March 11, 2021 (EST)
 
'''Reasons for using "monk" instead of bald head.'''
While "ボウズ" and "ニュウドウ" are used for bald head most of the times, you need to consider the context in which the words are used. The Waterwraith is an enemy with a black body which appears in a cave submerged underwater, not known to be a hallucination or a real thing. If you read the wikipedia article on the Umibouzu you can tell that this is all a reference to the monster. The article also mentions that an alternate name for them is Uminyuudou. Taking into account that they decided to translate the "ボウズ" and "ニュウドウ" as wraith in both the Waterwraith and Plasm Wraith, this can be taken as another proof that a better translation would have to be in reference to the spirit of folklore instead of a regular bald humanoid. The Japanese name "ヤマトアメビト" could also be another reference to the yokai, Yamato making reference to the way Japan used to be called in ancient times. --[[User:Nvortex|Nvortex]] ([[User talk:Nvortex|talk]]) 18:53, March 12, 2021 (EST)
