| [[File:3_Leaders.jpg|thumb|[[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and [[Charlie]] on the surface of [[PNF-404]], looking for food to save their home planet, Koppai.]]'''Koppaites '''are a sentient race featured in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. Their current home planet is [[Koppai]]. Although they are very similar to [[Hocotatian]]s, they have a few differences that make them distinguishable. | | #REDIRECT [[Koppai#Koppaites]] |
| ==Anatomy==
| |
| Koppaites stand around the size of a nickel, the same general size of a Hocotatian. Unlike Hocotatians, however, Koppaites seem to grow more hair on their heads, have smaller noses, and eyes that appear to be wide open at all times; whereas a Hocotatian's eyes appear small, squinted, and black normally, but widen into a more circular shape to expose their irises when startled. Koppaites also have smaller ears that are rounded at the ends, as opposed to the Hocotatians' broader, pointed ones.
| |
| | |
| Another trait that sets Koppaites apart from Hocotatians is that Koppaites are able to breath oxygen. However, they must still wear a protective suit while on the surface of [[PNF-404]] because its oxygen levels are three times higher than that of Koppai's.
| |
| | |
| Koppaites are also only capable of metabolizing a substance called '''''Piktamin U. '''''It is explained by [[Brittany]] that [[Pikpik Carrot]]s do not contain Piktamin U, which is the reason why [[Hocotate Freight]] could not help with Koppai's food crisis. Fortunately, the massive fruits found on PNF-404 contain large amounts of this substance.
| |
| | |
| One of [[Alph]]'s dialogues seems to indicate that the Koppaite brain does not produce the hunger-appeasing hormone [[wikipedia:Leptin|leptin]], meaning Koppaites can and will continuously eat without ever feeling full; this problem was one of the reasons they have fallen into a famine.
| |
| | |
| Koppaites can also speak the same language as Hocotatians, as the ending cutscene of ''Pikmin 3'' involved the three Koppaites and [[Captain Olimar]] having a discussion.
| |
| | |
| It is possible, though not confirmed, that Koppaites might be a related species to Hocotatians, but adapted to a different environment.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *If the three leaders are walking around without any Pikmin, they will eventually start singing the intro cinematic melody.
| |
| *Piktamin U is a word fusion of Pikmin, vitamin, and U (As in Wii U).
