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.

[[Alph]] mentions that the Koppaite's brain is incapable of deciding whether or not they are still hungry, meaning they can continuously eat without stopping. He also states that this is the very reason Koppai was doomed from the moment the Koppaites began to inhabit it.
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 the sole reason 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.
