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.

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.
