The '''Waterwraith''', writes [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]], "may be the ectoplasmic incarnation of a kind of psychic phenomenon". It is found only in [[Submerged Castle]] (all sublevels), and in [[Bully Den]] in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. Its appearance is generally humanoid in shape, with the suggestion of a head, body, arms and legs, but without distinct characteristics, and with a watery, transparent body. When encountered in the Submerged Castle, but not in the Bully Den, its music will play - music that is played only then. The following is a sample. | The '''Waterwraith''', writes [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]], "may be the ectoplasmic incarnation of a kind of psychic phenomenon".

The ship notes that although he could see it, his sensors said nothing was there, leading him to the conclusion that the Waterwraith's physical form is anchored in another dimension.

When encountered, the beast falls from the sky and moves around on its stone 'rollers'. It will chase Olimar and any Pikmin nearby, with greater focus on crushing the active Captain. It is invincible to any Pikmin assault, even if [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], except that of [[Purple Pikmin]]. When a Purple lands on or near the Waterwraith in a fashion that would stun any other beast, it turns a deep shade of purple not dissimilar to that of the Pikmin that cause this state to come about. Like this, it is vulnerable to '''all''' Pikmin attacks. When the Wraith's health has been fully depleted, the rollers crumble and the Waterwraith will scoot all around the cave, no longer a threat to your Pikmin. Attack with more purples and then you can easily attack it with other Pikmin. When defeated, it will vanish into nothing, and you will be troubled no more. It drops the [[Professional Noisemaker]], a useful addition to the [[Exploration Kit]] the first time you beat it in the [[Submerged Castle]]. | When encountered, the beast falls from the sky and moves around on its stone 'rollers'.

When a Purple lands on or near the Waterwraith in a fashion that would stun any other beast, it turns a deep shade of purple not dissimilar to that of the Pikmin that cause this state to come about, perhaps as a result of it being forced to become tangible.
