=== Gatling Groink ===

{{Main|Gatling Groink}}

The Gatling Groink is an enemy in {{p2}}. It is a large biomechanical creature with eyes staring forward, two legs, a mechanical tail and a mouthplate that is opened to fire mortar rounds. Despite not having a very dangerous attack, it possesses strong defensive capabilities and is often located in hard-to-reach places, such as on top of pillars, increasing its protection against [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] even more. It attacks by initiating a cannon from its mouth and fires 3 mortars at regular intervals when in range of a target. When the balls hit the ground, they scatter all Pikmin in range and kill those at the absolute center of the blast. The method to attack it is to [[throw]] Pikmin at its rear, where it lacks metal shielding. It can shake the Pikmin off when agitated, and unlike most enemies, the shaking occurs without any visible preparations, giving the player hardly any reaction time. Because [[Purple Pikmin]] stun when they land on the ground, it is not necessary to get behind it to immobilize it with purples. Once killed, it starts [[HP#Regeneration|regenerating]] [[health]], making it crucial to carry it to an [[Onion]] or the [[Research Pod]]. If it isn't carried back on time, it will [[revive]] and continue its attack.

=== Glow Pikmin ===

{{Main|Glow Pikmin}}

Glow Pikmin are a type of Pikmin that can only be used at night during night expeditions, and in caves. Glow Pikmin have bright green, bioluminescent bodies. They have no legs; their bodies instead end in a tapered and ghost-like tail. Because of this, they have the ability to float. They have blue eyes, though one of them appears to be larger than the other and has a light blue pupil. Their flowers are also slightly differently shaped, with five pointed petals (resembling a star) instead of the normal rounded ones. They also appear to be slightly smaller than other Pikmin types.

=== Moss ===

{{Main|Moss}}

Moss is a space dog in {{p4}}. In the game's prologue she is found by [[Captain Olimar]] when he crash-lands on [[PNF-404]] and quickly befriends him, helping him throughout his search for [[S.S. Dolphin|his ship]]'s missing [[ship part]]s. After the prologue, Moss is seen accompanied by a [[leafling]]-transformed Olimar, and accompanies him during [[Dandori Battle]]s.

=== Waterwraith ===

{{Main|Waterwraith}}

The Waterwraith is a watery, humanoid boss in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''. It appears to have a human shape, a head, body, arms, and legs, without distinct characteristics though, since it is transparent. It falls from the sky and moves around on stony rollers, chasing leaders and their Pikmin. It is invincible to any Pikmin assault, even if [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], except when attacked by [[Purple Pikmin]]. When a Purple Pikmin lands on or near the Waterwraith, it turns dark and becomes vulnerable to all Pikmin attacks. When the player depletes its health, the rollers crumble and the Waterwraith will run around the cave until defeated.

* Previously, this article also included species with unspecified families. Specifically, the five species from {{p1}} (a game with no official creature log) who did not return for {{p2}}. As of the release of {{p4}}, all five of these species have received an official family in some capacity.

** While the adult [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] has yet to technically return, its younger variant, the [[Armored Cannon Larva]], is classified in the [[Lithopod family]].
