Scientific name	Fenestari luminescens
Family	Floaterbie
Areas	Space of Silence
Attacks	Swoop down and electrocute

The Electric Spectralid (エレキシジミ^?, lit.: "Electric Lycaenidae") is an enemy in Hey! Pikmin. Their appearance is similar to real world butterflies, just like flitterbies. They have red eyes and a white body, while everything else is light blue and almost ghost-like, reflecting its electric properties. They are only about two times the size as Captain Olimar. They fly through the air emitting light from the electricity that runs through their body. If they spot Olimar, they will occasionally dive bomb into him to try and harm him. They are quite rare, only appearing in the Space of Silence.

Behavior

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Hey! Pikmin. Particularly: Describe its behavior when it sees Pikmin, when it attacks, when it shakes, when it loses interest, etc.

Locations

• Ravaged Rustworks
  • Space of Silence: This is the only location they are found in, where they act as another electrical hazard alongside electric mushrooms. Whenever one is killed, another one will eventually appear. They don't pose any threat to Pikmin, since only electricity-resistant Yellow Pikmin appear here.

Strategy

The following article or section contains guides. The strategies shown are just suggestions.

These creatures spawn on the top screen and fly around there. On occasion, it will pause then fly down to Olimar’s position on the lower screen in an attempt to damage him. Once it is finished, it will fly back to the top screen and repeat its cycle. A single thrown Pikmin is sufficient to take it out.

Notes

Hey! Pikmin logs

“It prefers to live in dark caves, which is odd since it generates its own light. Beware of its electric tackles! If only it could be tamed, it would go over well as a house pet. Imagine having a faithful companion that could also light your home!”
