Scornets are tiny hornet-like creatures in Pikmin 3 that are lead by the Scornet Maestro

These enemies are capable of making coordinated formations that are capable of capturing and eventually killing your Pikmin swarm, by picking up your Pikmin, and then flying around the Scornet Maestro, which you can free by throwing a Pikmin at them, or the Pikmin will quickly die.

Killing Strategy

Using ground based Pikmin is practically useless. The best way to defeat a swarm is to use large amounts of Winged Pikmin in order to outnumber them. These enemies look similar to the Scornet Maestro which controls them using its harp-like beak. These enemies are found shortly before you get to the Scornet Maestro, hovering around aimlessly on the far side of the river. Thier attacks are uncordinated and thier dead bodies are not retreivable. When you fight an organized army of them in the boss battle, all 100 of thier bodies are retreivable, which is weird because they give very few pikmin seeds and there are more than your pikmin army can carry when carrying Louie and the Scornet Maestro too. It is unadvisable to come back for more of thier boddies, because they are worth nearly nothing and it is a long run to and from the ship.

Trivia

  • The Scornet is very similar to the Sonic the Hedgehog series enemy Mosqui.
