The '''Sputtlefish''' ({{j|カワスミ|Kawa Sumi|River Cuttlefish}}) is a squid-like enemy with a flower-like protrusion atop its head, found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. These enemies can only be found underwater. They swim casually when not threatened, but upon the arrival of Pikmin, they will take an upright posture and swim towards them. They can lash out on Pikmin with their tentacles, grabbing and eating them one at a time. If attacked, one will release ink which causes Pikmin to panic for some time until they are whistled and swim away. The Sputtlefish can also gradually heal if left alone once attacked. | The '''Sputtlefish''' ({{j|カワスミ|Kawa Sumi|River Cuttlefish}}) is a squid-like [[Enemy|enemy]] with a flower-like protrusion atop its head, found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''.

If time is a concern, you can easily leave a small group of Blue Pikmin to attack a Sputtlefish, then go off and do something else that needs to be done, and the Pikmin should be able to take the creature down without any trouble. | If time is a concern, you can easily leave a small group of Blue Pikmin to attack a Sputtlefish, then go off and do something else that needs to be done, and the Pikmin should be able to take the creature down without any trouble. | ||

{{transcript|Sputtlefish are small aquatic creatures that release ink when attacked. When you encounter a Sputtlefish, lock onto the creature and send a squad of Blue Pikmin charging in to attack. With a reasonably large squad, you shouldn't have any trouble defeating a Sputtlefish before it has a chance to retaliate. | |||
If the creature does manage to release its ink, however, any Pikmin caught in the cloud will panic. Use your whistle to calm your scattered Pikmin and send them charging in for another attack.|block=y}} | |||

{{naming | |||
|common = Sputtlefish. The name is based off of "spurt" – since it squirts ink to defend itself – and {{w|cuttlefish}}, a real-life animal that it resembles. A cuttlefish has two tentacles and a soft body, much like the Sputtlefish. The "sputtle" part of the name could also be based off "spittle", describing saliva ejected from the mouth. | |||
|scientific = ''Pseudocephalopoda florascens''. ''Pseudocephalopoda'' comes from "pseudo" and "{{w|Cephalopoda}}". ''Florascens'' comes from "florescence", a term used for flowers in the process of blooming. This describes its fins, as they resemble the petals of a blooming flower. | |||
|jpcommon = {{j|カワスミ|Kawa Sumi}}, in which {{j|カワ|kawa}} means "river" and {{j|スミ|sumi}} is short for {{j|スミイカ|sumīka}}, which is the word for the golden cuttlefish, or the Japanese spineless cuttlefish. | |||
|jpname = {{j|ハナイカモドキ|Hana Ika Modoki|Flower Pseudo Cuttlefish}}. | |||
|internal = The creature's internal name, <code>kawasumi</code>, matches its Japanese name. | |||
