'''Unmarked Spectralids''' ({{j|サンショクシジミ|Sanshoku Shijimi|Tricolored {{w|Lycaenidae|Lycaenids}}}}) are insects in {{p2}}. They resemble small butterflies and can be red, purple, or yellow. They are one of the harmless [[enemy|enemies]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], having no means of attack and doing nothing but fluttering around. They are located in specific patches of plants and appear upon being disturbed, though in some [[caves]] they are readily visible. They will leave the [[area]]'s boundaries some time after [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[leader]]s come within range of a swarm of them. Their color indicates what they drop when killed - a drop of [[ultra-spicy spray]] (red), [[ultra-bitter spray]] (purple) or [[nectar]] (yellow). Underground, they only have a 20% chance of dropping these rewards. These creatures instantly collapse and die if touched by a single Pikmin. Upon being petrified, they will fall down to the ground and crumble; in the Piklopedia, however, they will remain intact.

The only [[area]] aboveground they appear in is the [[Awakening Wood]], with one group hidden in a [[Margaret]] near the [[Sunseed Berry]], and another in a nearby [[Figwort]] (next to the [[bridge]] there). Red and purple Spectralids do not appear above ground, and can only be found with yellow Spectralids in [[rest sublevel]]s of certain [[cave]]s, usually found in clusters of 20 or more. In the Awakening Wood, only four of them appear together in each spot.

Unmarked Spectralids do not appear in {{p3}} or {{p4}}, and have been replaced with [[Red Spectralids]], [[Yellow Spectralids]], and [[White Spectralids]]. However, they are referenced in Olimar's notes for the White Spectralids in both games.

If you have many [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] with you, [[throw]] them rapidly into the air in all directions in an attempt to knock them down. Otherwise, you can spray a large group with an [[ultra-bitter spray]], since spraying them makes them fall to the ground, burst, and instantly die.

Following English grammar conventions, it is intuitive to read the word "Spectralids" as a plural form of the word "Spectralid". However, "Spectralid" does not appear anywhere in ''Pikmin 2'', nor are the Unmarked Spectralids ever referred to in a sentence in a way that would give a definitive singular form. All [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] entries are named in singular form, which would suggest that a single specimen would be called an "Unmarked Spectralids". On the other hand, it could be reasoned that the Piklopedia entry for the Unmarked Spectralids is uniquely plural, as it documents 3 distinct colorations together unlike the entries for the [[Candypop family]]. {{p3}} introduces the [[Flutterbie family]] whose members also use the "Spectralids" name, where it is used as a singular form in [[lock-on]] text. {{p3d}} and {{p4}}'s Piklopedias give each color of Flutterbie its own entry, continuing to use the word "Spectralids" individually.

**In addition, even if they are hit by a [[bomb rock]]'s explosion, their health will drop to 0, but they will continue to be alive.{{cite youtube|-WHVxtW7RxQ|showing how different enemies react to bomb rock explosions|m=3|s=9|published={{date|1|May|2021}}|retrieved={{date|31|October|2022}}}}

*Unmarked Spectralids are the only creatures to appear in another creature's [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] file.

*If the Spectralids is resting on a Mamuta, and the player sprays the Mamuta, the Spectralids will fly off and flutter about for a bit. Killing the petrified Mamuta and leaving the scene can cause the Spectralids to return to its original position, which means it will stand in mid-air.{{cite youtube|QDGe9OZ661Q|of a Spectralids returning to the spot where a Mamuta was}}
