The '''Waddlequaff''' ({{j|スイトリー|Suitorī|Sucking-Up Bird}}) is a bird-like [[enemy]] first found in the [[Blossoming Arcadia]] in {{p4}}. It has a cream feathered body with two stubby wings, and a long pink, tube-shaped beak. Waddlequaffs use their beak to suck in objects and prey and must be defeated to retrieve that which has been swallowed.

When the Waddlequaff spots a Pikmin, it will begin to inhale in an attempt to swallow and eat it. It can also swallow [[pellet]]s, [[raw material]]s, [[treasure]]s, and items such as [[Scrummy bone|Scrummy Bones]], explosives, and [[Pikpik Carrot|Pikpik Carrots]], but only actively targets pellets and treasures, and ignores items unless thrown directly into its attack range while inhaling. When it shakes off attacking Pikmin, swallowed pellets or treasures will be spat out, one at a time. Upon death, any remaining pellets, raw materials, or treasures it has eaten will be spat out all at once. With each item a Waddlequaff consumes, it begins to noticeably grow larger, up to three sizes bigger. But the bigger it gets the slower it becomes, making attacking it easier.
==Appearance==
 
{{game help|p4|Describe the appearance of the creature and, if it applies, how it compares to similar creatures.}}
== Appearance ==
 
The Waddlequaff is a medium-sized bird enemy with a hunched posture, having a somewhat small head in comparison with its larger ovaloid body, having no neck properly connecting the head to the body.
 
In addition, the Waddlequaff has various avian features; like cream colored feathers with a white underbelly, black orbital rings around its eyes, a pair of small vestigial wings, a pair of two-toed clawed red feet and a long pink almost duck-like bill with a bulbous cere with nostrils, said beak is constantly open on the end of it, which serves the purpose of vacuuming up pikmin, treasures, objects and even the player alike.
 
Finally, although not entirely similar, the Waddlequaff has some similarities with the Mockiwi enemy, as both are ground dwelling stocky bird enemies that are somewhat duck looking with red beaks and didactyl feet.

It is recommended to have a hefty squad of Pikmin before taking this enemy down. You can either throw Pikmin onto its back or Rush it with Oatchi. Alternatively, you can feed it a bomb rock to instantly kill it.

Its feathers are too small to use for flying. The current theory is that this is due to its niche position in the ecosystem being quite secure thanks to a lack of natural predators and little competition for food in its habitat.

However, with the expansion of Pikmin territory, recently its numbers have been gradually declining.
