The '''Waddlepus''' ({{j|アワダコ|Awa Dako|Bubble Octopus}}) is an [[Enemy|enemy]] encountered in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and {{p4}}. Waddlepuses 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.
The '''Waddlepus''' ({{j|アワダコ|Awa Dako|Bubble Octopus}}) is an enemy encountered in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. Waddlepuses 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.


Waddlepuses 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.

=== Dalmo's notes ===
{{transcript|This accomplished napper can snore away a whole day, but just watching the peaceful look on its snoozing face conveys a feeling of contentment. Also, if you get up close enough, it can blow bubbles that will envelop you. Have a fun float. It's like dreaming!|block=y}}
=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|Its eyes and stubby feet make it look like an octopus, hence the name. But it's closer in anatomy to a starfish.
It sleeps during the day but will stay alert for approaching predators, which it drives off by puffing itself up and releasing bubbles. Closer research suggests that the true purpose for the bubbles is to protect its eggs during spawning season.|block=y}}
=== Louie's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|Perfect for make-ahead meals! Marinate the boiled meat in balsamic vinegar, and chill for a few hours. The longer you let it sit, the richer the flavor!|block=y}}

{{transcript|
口や体から泡を吹き出す、タコのようなヒトデの仲間。丸い体に5本の放射状の腕を持ち、星形になっている。主に水辺に棲んでいるが、陸上でも活動することができる。
特徴 その1 泡を放出する
:縄張りに近づくものに対して体をふくらまし、泡を大量に放出して威嚇するが、本来の目的は卵を保護して放流することである。
:(Image text: 小さな生き物は閉じ込められてしまう)
特徴 その2 伸縮性のある体
:伸縮性の高い背中には、泡を放出する器官が12個ある。

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
An octopus-like relative of the starfish that blows bubbles from its mouth and body. It is star-shaped with a round body and five radial arms. It lives mainly near water, but can also be active on land.
Feature #1: Releasing bubbles
:It inflates its body and releases a large amount of bubbles to threaten anyone approaching its territory, but the original purpose is to protect and release its eggs.
:(Image text: "Smaller creatures become trapped")
Feature #2: Elastic body
The highly elastic back has 12 organs for releasing bubbles.
:(Image text: "When inflated, its body height is approximately doubled")

{{naming
"Waddlepus" is a portmanteau of "waddle", which means "moving while swaying left and right" and "{{w|octopus}}". In its Japanese name, {{j|アワダコ|Awa Dako}}, {{j|アワ|awa}} means "bubble", and {{j|ダコ|dako}} means "Octopus". Its internal name, <code>awadako</code>, matches the Japanese name.

|scientific = ''Opisteuthidae iaciobulla''. ''Opisteuthidae'' is a shortening of {{w|Opisthoteuthidae}}, a real-world family the umbrella octopus belongs to, which the Waddlepus resembles. ''Iaciobulla'' comes from ''iacio'' and ''bulla'', Latin for "throw" and "bubble" respectively, referencing its attack method.

{{Game help|p3|How is it weaker and by how much?}}
*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 how high up the bubble goes, the Pikmin will not die.

*In [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 4)|''Pikmin 4'' Piklopedia]], the thumbnail for the Waddlepus misspells its scientific name. It incorrectly states the genus as ''Opisteuthid'''ea''''', rather than ''Opisteuthid'''ae'''''.
