Enemy: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:39, July 24, 2023

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 4.

A Bulborb and a Dwarf Bulborb together, two of the most iconic enemies in the series.

Enemies (原生生物^?, lit.: "Primitive Creature") are the many indiginous lifeforms of PNF-404 that, in general, pose a hazard to Pikmin. There are many types of enemies in the Pikmin series, with varying appearances, behaviors, and levels of hostility. Combat against enemies constitutes a major part of gameplay in all Pikmin games.

Enemies have varied attacks, and some take advantage of hazards to cause damage to Pikmin who are not immune to them. Offensively, enemies either eat Pikmin or hurt them with attacks, both melee and projectile-based, and with effects that range from pushing the Pikmin off to outright killing them. A few enemies are incapable of directly killing Pikmin.

Killed enemies may drop pellets, which can be brought to an Onion to exchange for Pikmin seeds. Defeated enemies that leave a corpse can also be returned to an Onion, the Research Pod, or the SPERO, being exchanged for Pokos in the case of the latter two. An enemy under the effect of an ultra-bitter spray will vanish when its health drops to zero; nectars or sprays then have a chance of dropping instead.

Some enemies contain important items like ship parts, treasures, or fruits, which they drop when defeated; these will still be dropped even if the creature was petrified. Most downed enemies will also safely release any Pikmin in their grasp, regardless of any apparently fatal damage caused when the Pikmin was trapped (like the Cloaking Burrow-nit's impalement). This allows otherwise doomed Pikmin to be saved.

It is unconfirmed how the enemies are named, but it is known in most games that Olimar names them, as he bases the Bulborb's name after his dog, Bulbie. Pikmin 3 is more confusing, however, since the names of enemies are only seen through locking-on. It is possible the Koppaites name them immediately after they see each enemy, but its more likely the lock-on is just for the player and is not what the Koppaites actually see. For repeating enemies, it could be the KopPad has the names Olimar created stored inside it, like in the Insect Condo's case.^[1]

Downy Snagret

Main article: Downy Snagret.

An enemy known as a Downy Snagret^[2] resembling an infant Burrowing Snagret can be seen at one point in the February 2023 trailer, and is present in the key art. They hop around on their one leg, and look around and chirp when idling. In later gameplay footage, they can be seen eating Pikmin, one at a time.

Groovy Long Legs

Main article: Groovy Long Legs.

This article or section is in need of more images.
You can help Pikipedia by uploading some images.

An arachnorb-like enemy can be seen at one point in the February 2023 trailer. Its head is black and resembles a disco ball, with several circular lights dotted throughout. Its legs appear to be covered by tightly-wrapped strands of a dark unknown material, which dangle from the upper segments of its legs. The bottom half of two of its legs are bare, exposing an ivory bony endoskeleton of some kind underneath. Several holes can be seen on the interior of its bottommost joints.

At the start it appears to be hanging from the ceiling, with the spots on its head glowing a cyan color. After being attacked by several Yellow Pikmin, it drops down onto the floor with a thud that shoves away Pikmin, the leader, and Oatchi. Right afterwards it spins on its head as its legs come down. When attacking, the lights on its body turn yellow and it stomps around, crushing Pikmin with its large feet. Many Pikmin can be seen underneath it when the lights are yellow, unable to do much other than jump in place with some pink smoke coming out of their heads. This status effect is similar in appearance to poison, or the dust that the Vehemoth Phosbat sprays which causes the Pikmin to panic, but it is unknown if this is the result of the arachnorb enemy itself or another hazard.

Waddlequaff

Main article: Waddlequaff.

A Mockiwi-like enemy with a trumpet-shaped beak can be seen at one point in the February 2023 trailer. The top of its head and back of its body are a dim yellow color, while the bottom of the head and the stomach are white. They have small wings on each side of their body, and two small paws with white legs and red toes. Their sclerae are black, their irises are white, and their pupils are black. Their most prominent feature is the trumpet-shaped magenta beak. The fact that it looks like a Mockiwi, has a yellow torso, a dark-colored face, and a long snout makes it resemble an unused enemy in Hey! Pikmin known only as "Peromakky".

Pricklepuff

Main article: Pricklepuff.

Small bumps on its head can be seen swimming in an underwater area in the June 2023 Nintendo Direct trailer.

Miniature Snootwhacker

Main article: Miniature Snootwhacker.

An unknown enemy covered in a type of armor with a long trunk can be seen in the house area in the June 2023 Nintendo Direct trailer. It somewhat resembles members of the blowhog family. It seems to be defeated by being flipped over by Oatchi, and then having Pikmin attack its belly.

Iceblown Dweevil

Main article: Iceblown Dweevil.

A light blue Dweevil can be seen in a kitchen in the June 2023 Nintendo Direct trailer. It has a similar color to Ice Pikmin, denoting that it attacks with ice.

The Iceblown Dweevil.

Albino Dwarf Bulborb

Main article: Albino Dwarf Bulborb.

An enemy resembling a Dwarf Bulborb, but with the white abdomen of a Bulborb Larva, can be seen at nighttime in the June 2023 Nintendo Direct trailer. According to the Pikmin Garden's Piklopedia,^[3] it is a Bulborb in a life stage between the Bulborb Larva and the adult Bulborb, and its Japanese nickname is コチャッピーモドキ^? (lit.: "Pseudo Small Chappy").

Crusted Rumpup

Main article: Crusted Rumpup.

A large unknown enemy resembling a scorpion, with a flower-like tail, is seen battling the player character in the June 2023 Nintendo Direct trailer. It may be a boss, as it is fought alone in an arena-like location. Its head somewhat resembles that of a Widemouthed Anode Beetle.

Snowfake Fluttertail

Main article: Snowflake Fluttertail.

A large moth-like enemy, possessing the ability to shoot out a blast of freezing wind with its wings, is seen battling the player character in the June 2023 Nintendo Direct trailer. Its isolated arena and large size may indicate it to be a boss.

The Snowfake Fluttertail.

Porquillion

Main article: Porquillion.

The Porquillion is an enemy with a large bulbous back filled with spikes.

The enemy as seen in the demo.

Masterhop

Main article: Masterhop.

An abnormally large Yellow Wollyhop can be briefly seen in what appears to be a water table or a pet shop terrarium. Although it looks identical to the Yellow Wollyhop, it is extremely large, being just as 5 times as tall as a Pikmin when members of the species are usually twice as tall as a Pikmin, and this massive size allows it to actually depress sand that it lands on, forming new pools. It is unclear if this size difference makes it of a different species compared to Yellow Wollyhops, or they are still considered the same species.

The giant Masterhop.

Snowy Blowhog

Main article: Snowy Blowhog.

The Snowy Blowhog is a grounded Blowhog that can shoot an icy mist that can freeze Pikmin.

Glidemandwee

Main article: Glidemandwee.

A pair of slug-like enemies can be seen in the overview trailer. They likely are a smaller variant of the Glidemander.

Frosty Bulborb

Main article: Frosty Bulborb.

One of the screenshots at the end of the game's demo appears to show a light blue Bulborb covered in ice crystals. The ice crystals are present around the area that the bulborb family usually have white spots dancing in a rosey red. In contrast the mouth area seems to lack any ice crystals, showing skin that resembles the Color of a light Cyan. There snouts have a peachy red to them to make it look like as if they have a cold. Dwarf variants of these bulborbs also exist. In the IGN video they are shown to freeze Pikmin in contact, so using Ice pikmin against them in combat is recommended. These icy bulborb are both active during the day and night. The dwarf variations have a carrying weight of 3 pikmin while there bigger counterparts have 10. According to the piklopedia there scientific name is “Oculus Stomagelus”

Tusked Blowhog

Main article: Tusked Blowhog.

The Tusked Blowhog is a species in the new "Tusked Blowhog" family, which resembles a Fiery Blowhog except for its yellow eyes, visible mouth, and prominent tusks. It does not blow out of its snout like other Blowhogs, instead preferring to charge into Pikmin, similar to Oatchi's Rush attack. It will then try to eat any Pikmin it has knocked over.

Scorchcake

Main article: Scorchcake.

The Scorchcake has a short cylindrical rocky body and a pair of blue eyes on stalks. Its main attack is flipping over, crushing Pikmin underneath its hard body, revealing its burning underbelly.

Foolix

Main article: Foolix.

An enemy known as the Foolix^[4] appears in footage on the Japanese website. It appears to be fought by pulling on a tongue-like tendril until it bursts. The player can freeze the goo with Ice Pikmin, and then charge into it with Oatchi to burst the goo. The goo creature is only active during the day. According to Pikmin 4’s piklopedia it’s scientific name is “Mononuclei stellacodus” and is apparently only made up of a single cell. Foolix is apart of the goolix family. Important to note that in the piklopedia it is said that it’s nucleus is very important to its mortality, as if it’s removed the orange nectar like gel will collapse, leaving it vulnerable.

Shockcake

The top half of an unknown enemy can be seen in the overview trailer's Piklopedia. Upon closer inspection, it seems to have a similar texture to the Scorchcake, and is seen next to it in the Piklopedia. It has lights on its body, and what seems to be a spark, implying it is an electricity hazard.

Shearflea

Two unknown red enemies can be seen bouncing on the couch in the overview trailer. They resemble members of the mandiblard family.

Moldy Dwarf Bulborb

An enemy resembling a Dwarf Bulborb can be spotted on the official Japanese website, in a showcase for White Pikmin. It seems to release poison when attacked, so it would require White Pikmin to fight. A full sized version of this Dwarf Bulborb has not been shown yet.

Chillyhop

An enemy which resembles a Yellow Wollyhop, except dark blue. It possesses attacks using frost, like other ice enemies.

Grubchucker

A quadrupedal enemy with long legs can be seen in IGN's review video. A small part of its blue body can be seen, but the rest of it is unknown.

Gildemander

A large, brown enemy with a light similar to an anglerfish is seen in IGN's review video. It has gold on its back, and it has a smaller variant known as the Gildemandwee.

Icy Blowhog

An enemy which resembles a light blue Puffy Blowhog. It spits out a frosty substance that lands on the ground.

Moldy Slooch

The Moldy Slooch is an enemy only mentioned in IGN's review for Pikmin 4. It is mentioned to be toxic based. It’s scientific name is “ Parasitus pseudofungi elasticis hostus.” Sadly this organism is a host to fungal Bactria. According to the piklopedia; “ It will also shake spores onto other creatures, thus infecting new hosts.” Most likely in gameplay this enemy will shake spores onto pikmin leading to the spores poisoning them. Everything considered its best to use white pikmin against this enemy.

Sovereign Bulblax

The Sovereign Bulblax is an enemy only mentioned in IGN's review for Pikmin 4. It is a larger version of the Emperor Bulblax that is closer to the original in Pikmin 1.

Bosses

Main article: Boss.

Boss enemies are tougher than standard enemies, but also rarer. They usually have to be defeated to obtain a plot-critical object. While Pikmin has little distinction between bosses and regular enemies, Pikmin 2 has 12 clearly-defined bosses that are found at the end of caves, Pikmin 3 has 6 very clearly-defined bosses that each hold the item that allows access to the next section of the story, and Hey! Pikmin has 9 very clearly-defined bosses fought at the end of sectors.

Behavior

Most enemies roam around in a specific location of the area, leaving only to chase after or run away from Pikmin or leaders. Some enemies are quite dedicated to their initial spots, returning to them after wandering too far, while others, like the Spotty Bulbear in Pikmin 2, will patrol a certain area and can even chase the player all the way to the Onions. The locations in which enemies can be found sometimes depend on their nature. For instance, the fur-coated Hairy Bulborbs are better suited to cold environments, and as such, are commonly found in ice-themed caves.

Enemies are normally killed by Pikmin attacks, which becomes easier the more Pikmin are attacking. They can also inadvertently kill themselves by ingesting White Pikmin, falling off pits, or rarely, by coming into contact with certain hazards. They can even be killed by some of the attacks of other enemies, such as the Armored Cannon Larva's rocks, or the Yellow Wollywog's stomp in Pikmin 3.

As threats to Pikmin, enemies can attack in a variety of ways, the most common one being eating them. They can also crush them, kill them with a hazard they're vulnerable to, and knock them out with an explosion, among other methods. For some of these attacks, there is a cap on the number of Pikmin that can be affected by it. For instance, in Pikmin, a Bulborb may only grab and eat three Pikmin at most with a single bite, but in Pikmin 2, five can fall prey to the same bite. The exception to this is the enemies in Hey! Pikmin, which more often than not, kill Pikmin and damage Olimar by simply touching them.

Interactions

For the most part, every enemy is its own entity, interacting only with the Pikmin and leaders. Some enemies, however, have passive or active interactions with the environment, other enemies, or miscellaneous objects.

Environment interactions

In Pikmin 3, most enemies will be unable to detect Pikmin and leaders if they are hiding under tall plants.
In Pikmin 2, if an Emperor Bulblax gets close to a bomb-rock, it will eat it without needing to be coaxed into doing so.
The fire on a Fiery Bulblax or a Pyroclasmic Slooch's back will be put out should it go into water. Both creatures reignite once they leave the water.
If a member of the Mandiblard family touches water, it will steadily lose health, and if it is near a wooden bridge and not in pursuit, it will begin deconstructing it.
Wogpoles and Puckering Blinnows will start flailing around if they're on dry land, but they are able to swim freely if they're underwater.
In Pikmin 3, the Swarming Sheargrub will drink any nectar that it comes across, which will make it grow in size.

Cooperation

Bulbmin interact amongst themselves in the form of the young following an adult.

Some creatures keep a bond with others. To maximize the chances of survival, some enemies can be seen next to others, normally of their own species, and oftentimes interacting with them when a fight for survival is taking place. Dwarf Bulborbs, Dwarf Bulbears, etc. are often found next to larger enemies of the same species or of the species they are mimicking. When under attack in Pikmin, they may scream in order to wake up their larger allies.

Other creatures choose to follow a leader, normally of their own family. An example is the Bulbmin, who lose all sense of control should their leader perish, the Scornets, who obey the command of the Scornet Maestro, and the Shearwig, which can be found under the control of a Queen Shearwig, and are otherwise independent.

Hostility

Hostility between enemies is non-existent, but cases of enemies damaging each other are not. Some enemies may, if inadvertently, hurt others. This normally happens when they try to kill Pikmin or leaders. Not many enemy attacks are made to hurt others, but the following are:

The Empress Bulblax can kill its young by rolling into them.
A Gatling Groink can damage other enemies with its shots (including other Groinks), but not itself.
The Waterwraith instantly kills any enemies it rolls over.
Most lithopods with boulders can harm other enemies or even the launcher itself.
The Raging Long Legs and Baldy Long Legs can stomp on and kill other enemies, particularly on the Angle Maze and Tropical Forest, respectively.
In Pikmin 3, Yellow Wollywogs can kill or injure other enemies if they land on them.
In Pikmin 3, Skutterchucks can harm and kill other enemies if their crystal nodules land on them. They can even kill themselves.
The Man-at-Legs can hurt other enemies with its gun. This is impossible to see without hacks, since the creature never appears alongside other enemies.

As a gameplay element

In the games, enemy locations are relatively evenly spread, in order to maximize the balance between exploration and combat, as to not overwhelm the player. More important locations, however, are generally covered by stronger enemies, requiring the player to excel in combat skill if they are to obtain the rewards that lie behind them. Analogously, easier enemies are encountered closer to the landing sites and the first floors of caves.

Enemies that are killed do not reappear until the leaders leave, regardless of leaving a corpse. Some enemies do, however, respawn after an in-game day has passed, or after a cave is entered and exited, although others might require the passing of some full days before returning. In addition, some only appear in specific days, as is the case with the Goolix and the Mamuta on The Impact Site. Besides respawning, some enemies can actually revive after they've been considered dead, and a few have a natural health regeneration mechanic.

Intelligence-wise, enemies have a very simplistic artificial intelligence system. Some bosses are hard-coded to perform more specific actions and reply to more specific events, but for the most part, enemies can recognize the presence of a Pikmin, when to attack, when to shake Pikmin off, when to return to their home spot, and not much else. On top of that, their path recognition systems are non-existent: when they want to reach a spot, they head directly towards it, with no regard to any walls or obstacles. Most of the time, there are no obstacles in the way (or if there are, they can be slid through), but otherwise, this can lead to them getting stuck behind them, endlessly walking in place.

Enemies also do not take walls into account for their vision, chasing, or animations. They can see prey through walls, they will walk into them if their target is on the other side, and if they are close enough to attack, they can reach Pikmin and leaders through the wall; this is especially notable for enemies with long reach, like the Cloaking Burrow-nit. Regardless, the Hermit Crawmad has the ability to climb up walls, as demonstrated in tile sublevels with pools, such as sublevel 1 of The Giant's Bath.

These simplicities, however, are required to minimize the development costs and the processor usage, given that more complex path recognition systems could end up lowering the game's framerate. Another trick to minimize processor usage is to simply not render or recognize any enemy that lies beyond the camera's reach. These tricks allow the game to run smoothly without severely compromising the game and the enemies' livelihood.

In-game encyclopedias

Screenshot of the Piklopedia.

Main articles: Enemy reel, Piklopedia (Pikmin 2), Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe), Indigenous Life (Exploration Notes), and Hey! Pikmin logs.

The enemy reel is a special movie at the end of Pikmin. It showcases short clips featuring all enemies in the game, accompanied by a minor description of each.

The Piklopedia is a catalog of creatures in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Each entry shows the creature in action and some notes on it by the leaders, as well as some statistics. The Piklopedia in Pikmin 2 also allows the player to interact with the enemies, by throwing Pikpik carrots, using a free camera mode.

The Indigenous Life Exploration Notes are a series of data files containing a few tips about how some of the more common enemies work, especially bosses. They also have a stylized drawing of the situation they describe.

The logs in Hey! Pikmin are similar to the Piklopedia, but do not allow direct interaction with the creatures, and only contain Olimar's notes.

Enemies that reappear

To do: Verify these enemies and the number of each.
Care to do so?

In Pikmin 2's above-ground areas, most enemies take a few days to respawn, but some will do so after entering and exiting a cave. Some of these enemies hold treasures, and if the enemy has been killed but its treasure has not been retrieved, it will ingest the object again when it reappears.

Valley of Repose

Fiery Bulblax

Awakening Wood

Unmarked Spectralids x8 (four on a Margaret, four on a nearby Figwort)
Female Sheargrubs (before day 11)

Perplexing Pool

Toady Bloyster
Skitter Leaves (near the Citadel of Spiders entrance and the black bramble gate leading to the Submerged Castle)

Wistful Wild

Orange Bulborb (the one that usually holds a treasure)
Creeping Chrysanthemum (the one that usually holds a treasure)

Trivia

When the player first delivers an enemy to the Research Pod, a cutscene plays with the Hocotate ship complaining that it's not a treasure, although it's still good for some Pokos. However, if an enemy of this species has already been delivered to an Onion before on the current playthrough, the Research Pod will just accept the enemy like normal without a cutscene. The cutscene can later be played by delivering a new species of enemy that has never been delivered to an Onion.^[5]
It is implied by Alph that enemy corpses disappear after some amount of days because larger enemies eat them.^[6] If this is true, there must be unknown nocturnal enemies capable of consuming creatures up to the size of the Sandbelching Meerslug, as even it disappears after some time.
There are 15 enemies that have been present in all 4 main Pikmin games: the Burrowing Snagret, Bulborb, Dwarf Bulbear, Dwarf Bulborb, Female Sheargrub, Fiery Blowhog, Iridescent Flint Beetle, Male Sheargrub, Puffy Blowhog, Shearwig, Spotty Bulbear, Swooping Snitchbug, Water Dumple, Wogpole, and Yellow Wollywog.
- Including Hey! Pikmin, only 5 enemies have been present in all the games: the Bulborb, Fiery Blowhog, Male Sheargrub, Swooping Snitchbug, and Yellow Wollywog. (There have been 6 enemies in all games if one includes the Shearwig.)
3 enemies have had different names between games. The Armored Cannon Beetle Larva was renamed to the Armored Cannon Larva in Pikmin 3, the Spotty Bulborb was renamed to the Red Bulborb in Pikmin 2 and again to the Bulborb in Pikmin 3, and the Dwarf Bulborb was renamed to the Dwarf Red Bulborb in Pikmin 2 and back to the Dwarf Bulborb in Pikmin 3.
