Because this subject has no official name, the name "Soul" is conjectural. |
Spirits appear every time a Pikmin or enemy is killed. These ghostly shapes ascend slowly until they fade away, reminding or alerting the player that a Pikmin or enemy has fallen.

The Pikmin ones roughly resemble a Pikmin's shape; however, they lack feet and leaf, bud or flower, and any identifying characteristics such as the Red Pikmin's nose. Their appearance is slightly transparent and they vary between the games. In Pikmin, every Pikmin has a blue spirit, irrelevant of the color of the Pikmin itself, while spirits in all other Pikmin games, including both New Play Control! remakes, are representative of the dead Pikmin's type, differing in color and slightly in shape.
Enemies
Enemy spirits have a pink-purple color and look like a bubble, and leave a transparent trail behind. Two holes resembling eyes are visible near the shape's center. Bulbmin produce a smaller version of this type of spirit when they die. However, enemies that do not really "die" do not leave a spirit when killed. This is the case for the Spotty Bulbear and the Gatling Groink, which can revive, and the Ravenous Whiskerpillar, which seems to remain alive even after being defeated. Enemies that die while petrified release a spirit, but these "non-dying" enemies do not.
In Pikmin 2 these spirits make an eerie sound when ascending. The sound is much deeper, and the spirit is much larger for bosses. In Pikmin 3, enemy spirits are blue instead of purple, have small white eyes, and have a small "tail". An enemy's death in this game means that the carcass is ready to be carried – the enemy cannot be picked up until the spirit is actually seen. There is also a minor glitch involved with enemy spirits in the first two games: if an enemy is killed and the camera is rotated so that the beast is no longer on-screen, the enemy spirit will not ascend until it is once again visible for the camera on-screen.
