Water Dumples are similar to their previous appearances in ''Pikmin 2'', but they have gone through a few notable changes. They are found alone or much more spread out in several areas, but still found in water in almost all cases. Since they are frequently single targets, they are also slightly trickier to fight. Most notably, Water Dumples can now counter Pikmin very easily if attacked from the front; with its simple bite, one creature can shake a huge army off its face before taking much damage at all, leaving the attackers vulnerable. The water they live in is much deeper than the previous two games, giving them a sort of camouflage in the water. | Water Dumples are similar to their previous appearances in ''Pikmin 2'', but they have gone through a few notable changes.
