The Sputtlefish is a poisonous, squid-like enemy in Pikmin 3. They are capable of swimming around underwater. They swim casually when unthreatened 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 eatting them one at a time. If attacked, it will release ink which causes Pikmin to panic for some time until they are whistled and swim away. They can also heal once attacked.[1]
