Yellow Spectralids are small butterfly-like creatures in Pikmin 3. They have yellow wings, very fuzzy, white bodies, purple eyes and two small feet they use to stand on things. They are very aesthetic, as they will fly around any level and land on almost any surface, from flowers to Bulborbs. They function very much like yellow Unmarked Spectralids from Pikmin 2, in that they leave a drop of nectar when killed.
Notes
Pikmin 3 Prima Guide
"Like the White Spectralids[sic], the Yellow Spectralids[sic] is a harmless flying creature. However, when you defeat a Yellow Spectralids[sic], it drops a bit of Nectar. If you choose to attack a Yellow Spectralids[sic], use your Winged Pikmin to ensure a short battle."
Behavior
Yellow Spectralids may be seen on the ground, nearby flowers, or the back of a sleeping Bulborb, but in all cases, when a Captain or Pikmin approaches them, they will fly away. They will flutter around aimlessly in the air, and while doing so they are difficult to reach. After the Captain moves a considerable distance away from the Spectralid, it will return within 10 seconds.
Strategy
Template:Strategy A direct hit from any type of Pikmin will instantly defeat a Yellow Spectralid. Winged Pikmin are, however, the best option, as they will give chase if the creature tries to fly off.
