Editing Talk:Waterwraith

The Waterwraith is kinda scary, who here agrees with me?

He starts to run away from you once you destroy his rollers. He was only scary the first time.

He's really scary if you encounter him in the upper levels, because he suprises you.

I really hated this beast. When going through that cave you would keep thinking "If I don't get out of here I'm going to be ambushed by a giant water frog", making it hard to get all the treasures.[[User:Pikdude|Pikdude]] 20:35, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Ha, I wasen't able to see it for the longest time because my freind was terified of it and wouldn't go back to it's cave. He didn't have it's data because he was to scared to fight it. By the way Pikdude, this thing is much more talked about on the goolix's disscusion. Half of it isn't even on the goolix.--[[User:Pikiwizard|Pikiwizard]] 01:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Sence I don't have the game how exactly does the waterwraith scare you guys?
Pikdude um... What do you mean by water frog? Are you somehow refering to the Waterwraith or something else?

:The Waterwraith is kind of scary initially because you don't expect it, and it just drops down out of nowhere and proceeds to crush your Pikmin. Also, yeah, he was talking about the Waterwraith. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

That and the fact that he shows up on every floor after a certain amount of time has passed and he's invincible to every pikmin except Purple....which can't be brought into the cave and can't be acquired until the boss floor at the bottom....and then he has a warped moaning cry accompanied by the pikmin version of the Jaws theme.....this thing left me scarred and riddled with nightmares for quite some time.
I think the only thing that did more damage to my psyche as gamer was the Titan Dweevil T_T --[[User:Marx Wraith|Marx Wraith]] 05:49, August 10, 2010 (UTC)


I stil don't get haw water frog reafers to Waterwraith.

:Because it kind of resembles a frog, especially when it's crouching. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

I got it to run in the Piklopedia, but I was using my Action Replay. [[User:Bulbear4444|Bulbear4444]] 10:46, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Could some one record the music for the waterwraith without its rolers?[[User:Prof.pikmin|Prof.]] 19:21, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

:I'll see to it. Might take a while, though.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}} 19:54, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

will it get back on its roller if u laeve it olone to long

He's saying: will it get back on its rollers if you leave it alone to long? [[User:Prof.pikmin|Prof.]] 15:34, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

yes[[User:Rpwyb|Rpwyb]]

:Not that I know of. I've never left it for very long, but I wouldn't expect that to happen, especially since the rollers crumble away.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

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.}}

finally, people who agrree with me that thing is sooooo scary!!!, once i saw that freak, i only cared about gettin outta there!!! after i killed it off on the final floor, i tried to see if i could sneek purple pikmin in somehow<span style="border:2px solid #007300;background-color:blue">

==physic or psychic?==
It says the Waterwraith may by some kind of "physic phenomenon," but that doesn't make a ton of sense. I'm guessing someone misread the word "psychic," but I can't check the game for myself. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/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.}}

:Maybe the water has magnetic properties and is held in shape by the (Magnetic) stones and the Purple's Density breaks the water causing a magnetic ripple interfering with the magnetic stones thus destroying the creature... but not likely '''I'm''' [[User:Crystal_lucario|<b><span style="color:Blue">~Crystal</span></b>]][[Image:Redpikminsprite.jpg]]<b>[[User talk:Crystal_lucario|<span style="color:Black">Lucario~</span>]]</b> '''And I approve this message.'''

::Muh thing didn't even follow physics, gravity would keep it between the rocks and Purple density wouldn't break it, I would thing... {{User:Crystal_lucario/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. As this happened I asked my little sister who was watching me, "Will you please press the reset button. I am stuck under him and I have no way to move."'''[[User:Ridly|<span style="color:darkBlue;">Ridly</span>]] <small><sup>[[User Talk:Ridly|<span style="color:darkslateblue">Roar!</span>]]</sup></small>''' 23:58, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

== "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.

My theory is on my page. See Pikmin Theories. '''[[User:Ridly|<span style="color:darkBlue;">Ridly</span>]] <small><sup>[[User Talk:Ridly|<span style="color:darkslateblue">Roar!</span>]]</sup></small>''' 17:06, 2 June 2009 (UTC)



how can they say that " few sightings deep underground" isn't olimar co the oonly ones to be on the planet



heh-heh,so you noticed that too huh? That was my reaction to some of the piklopedia logs that referenced the science comunity on Hocatate, I was thinking, "Wait  just a minute, Olimar just crash landed on this planet a few months ago and its like Hocatate Scientists have studied the Distant Planet for Years!"[[User:Marx Wraith|Marx Wraith]] 05:39, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
