The '''Waddlepus''' | The '''Waddlepus''' is an enemy encountered in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. Waddlepi are small, purple octopus-like creatures with several yellow pores covering their back. They have green eyes and small O-shaped mouth that hides a large yellow pore. The Waddlepus is also an aquatic enemy and can be encountered underwater as well as on land. | ||
Waddlepi are generally calm enemies. They are always found sleeping and wake up only when [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or a [[leader]] is nearby. Once disturbed, the Waddlepus will inflate itself and slowly waddle towards the leader and their Pikmin. If Pikmin are latched onto the Waddlepus when it inflates, they will be [[throw]]n off. Once inflated, the Waddlepus can then shoot out a stream of bubbles from either its mouth or from the pores on its back. These bubbles do not harm Pikmin, or leaders but rather trap them inside. The bubbles will eventually pop, but the player can prematurely pop them by throwing a Pikmin at them. | |||

{{transcript|The Waddlepus is a relatively large amphibious creature. This enemy uses bubbles to temporarily incapacitate nearby attackers. When you encounter this creature on dry land, flank the Waddlepus and have your squad charge the enemy from the rear. If any of your Pikmin become trapped in a bubble, attack the bubble to instantly free the Pikmin. | {{transcript|The Waddlepus is a relatively large amphibious creature.

The same tactics apply when you encounter this enemy in the water -- just make sure your squad only contains Blue Pikmin. | The same tactics apply when you encounter this enemy in the water -- just make sure your squad only contains Blue Pikmin.}} | ||

A large group of Pikmin can easily take care of this creature. Note that, if the Waddlepus is not killed quickly enough, it will blow bubbles either from its mouth or the various yellow holes on its body. If a large group of Pikmin is not an option, use a few Pikmin to wake it up, and throw the rest on it when it begins to blow bubbles. Rock Pikmin work especially well in small groups: keep throwing them on the creature, and they should deal a good amount of damage. With 10 Rock Pikmin, it should take no more than two cycles to kill it. Just make sure to call all the Pikmin back before it starts blowing bubbles, and remember to pop them should a Pikmin or leader get trapped in them. | A large group of Pikmin can easily take care of this creature.

*An interesting thing to note is that the bubbles will not pop if swarmed with Winged Pikmin; instead, it will keep rising further and further up. Regardless of high up the bubble goes, the Pikmin will not die. | |||
