'''Koppaites '''are a sentient race featured in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. Their current home planet is [[Koppai]]. Although they are very similar to [[Hocotatian]]s, they have a few differences that make them distinguishable.
==Anatomy==
Koppaites stand around the size of a nickel, the same general size of a Hocotatian. Unlike Hocotatians, however, Koppaites seem to grow more hair on their heads, have smaller noses, and eyes that appear to be wide open at all times; whereas a Hocotatian's eyes appear small, squinted, and black normally, but widen into a more circular shape to expose their irises when startled. Koppaites also have smaller ears that are rounded at the ends, as opposed to the Hocotatians' broader, pointed ones.
 
Another trait that sets Koppaites apart from Hocotatians is that Koppaites are able to breath oxygen. However, they must still wear a protective suit while on the surface of [[PNF-404]] because its oxygen levels are three times higher than that of Koppai's.
 
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.
 
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 one of the reasons 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.
 
It is possible, though not confirmed, that Koppaites might be a related species to Hocotatians, but adapted to a different environment.
 
==Trivia==
*If the three leaders are walking around without any Pikmin, they will eventually start singing the intro cinematic melody.
*Piktamin U is a word fusion of Pikmin, vitamin, and U (As in Wii U).
