Indigenous Life (原生生物の生態?, lit.: "Primitive Creature Ecology") is a category from the Exploration Notes menu in Pikmin 3. It holds 30 Data Files that share tips and information about the life forms found in areas of PNF-404. Most of these Data Files can be found around the area terrain, just about anywhere, hidden or not.
