Honeywisps (ピキマキ?, lit.: "Pikmin Fuel") are creatures found in the first two Pikmin games. They float across the air carrying nectar (in Pikmin) or an egg (in Pikmin 2), and tend to glow and make high pitched cries, appearing and disappearing out of thin air if a captain passes nearby set places where they can show. A Honeywisp's egg, like any other, may contain nectar, a spray drop, or Mitites.

Notes

Olimar's voyage log

“This timid creature flies around collecting nectar from flowers. It typically hides itself, but shaking flowers can reveal its presence. The nectar it collects appears to be the Pikmin's favorite food. They instantly bloom when they eat it.”

Reel notes

“This creature collects nectar for the larvae waiting in its nest.”

Olimar's notes

“This floating life-form drifts effortlessly on the winds. Upon death, its physical structure instantly collapses, and as the creature is particularly elusive and difficult to catch, no sample specimens have been acquired as of yet. If we could simply recover a live sample, research on this species would likely proceed more smoothly...”

Louie's notes

“Although the eggs are small, the yolk has a distinctly bold and tangy flavor. Try tossing a few in a pan along with your choice of meat and

fresh vegetables and cook up a country scramble!”

Behavior

Pikmin

Honeywisps appear only when approached and disappear after a short amount of time. They float a considerable distance above the ground at a slow pace, and they take no note of the presence of Captains or Pikmin, unless attacked, at which point they will feverishly drop their nectar and vanish. They are frequently found grouped in a general area, though not all will be activated at the same time.

Pikmin 2

Honeywisps have the same general behavior as they do in Pikmin, floating about, dropping nectar and vanishing, only now the nectar is contained within an egg that breaks upon dropping to the ground.

Strategy

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

Pikmin

The Honeywisp is a constantly airborne enemy. As such, it can only be killed with Pikmin. If a Pikmin is thrown at one, it will vanish and drop its nectar. Yellow Pikmin are your best option due to their high throwing arc. When trying to take down a Honeywisp or a group of Honeywisps, its usually fine to throw quickly with less precision to take them down, as there is no risk in fighting them unless other creatures are nearby.

Pikmin 2

The Honeywisp is changed minimally in Pikmin 2, and as such, the strategy remains unchanged. It should be noted that neither white nor purple Pikmin are especially effective against this creature, and it cannot be petrified in any way.

Trivia

  • Although this enemy cannot be killed, it still has a health value of 99999 in Pikmin 2's files.
  • The internal name for the Honeywisp is "qurione", which is a romanization of "clione". A clione, or Sea Angel, is a creature with a transparent body, much like that of the Honeywisp.
