The beeb family (known as the soplouse family in the European version) is a family of creatures found exclusively in the Nintendo Land attraction Pikmin Adventure. Members of the beeb family are typically made up of purple orbs, with four slim legs, and eyes with stalks. Because of the fact that all of the members only appear in Pikmin Adventure, the beeb family technically isn't an actual biological family in the Pikmin universe, as all of the enemies in Pikmin Adventure are robotic.

Members[edit]
