Jellyfloat family
The jellyfloat family is consisted of enemies that are jiggly, flying creatures resembling jellyfish, and are only found in certain underground caves in Pikmin 2. They are known for sucking Pikmin into their gelatinous bells and digesting them over considerably long periods of time. Fortunately, they are extremely rare and easy to defeat with a decently-sized army of Pikmin. Their name is a portmanteau of "jellyfish" and "float".

The Greater Spotted Jellyfloat is an enemy in Pikmin 2. As their name implies, they resemble larger, purple versions of the Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat. They have slightly more health and can be defeated in the same manner, but can suck up more Pikmin at once, and even your captain(s) if you're not careful. Likewise, all undigested Pikmin and captains are returned when it is defeated. Ingested Pikmin will survive a long time before being digested. This species is also rarer than the other Jellyfloat.
Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat
- Main article: Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat.
The Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat is an enemy in Pikmin 2. They resemble large, blue, floating jellyfish with yellow spots that float through the air. They attack the Pikmin by inhaling them and trapping them inside. The Pikmin will then be digested one by one over considerably long periods of time. Purple Pikmin will automatically make this creature fall due to their weight. They are also good for defeating it, as stunning it will prevent it from getting back into air. When defeated, all undigested Pikmin will be recovered.
