Enemy	Pikmin 2	Pikmin 3 Deluxe
Bulborb	This large organism has the familiar mandibles and cranial morphology of the grub-dog family, as well as the characteristic bulging eyes. As with most grub-dogs, the creature's cranium comprises half of its total length and girth. Showing a scarlet abdomen with white spots, this creature is primarily nocturnal, choosing to prey upon smaller creatures returning to their nests. Originally classified as the spotty bulborb, further research has reclassified this species as the red bulborb. Subspecies of varied colors have recently been discovered, but academics are divided into two rival camps over how to handle their classification.

Subspecies of varied colors have recently been discovered, but academics are divided into two rival camps over how to handle their classification.
Orange Bulborb	This bulborb species boasts a garish color pattern, with deep orange body and black spots. The orange bulborb's yellow, bloodshot eyes make it clear that this grub-dog is excessively edgy and high-strung, making it much easier to wake from deep sleep than other species in the bulborb family.

Dwarf Bulborb	Although initially identified as a juvenile red bulborb, groundbreaking new research indicates that this creature is in fact a member of the breadbug family. A close relative of the vanilla breadbug, it escapes predation through mimicry. Unique adaptation of the red bulborb's crimson coloration allows the species to safely commingle. Such effective adaptation and obfuscation by a prey species is rare, indicating this clever creature is a master of mimicry.

Dwarf Orange Bulborb	Just as dwarf red bulborbs mimic the appearance of red bulborbs, it was theorized that an orange bulborb-mimicking variant must also exist. Recent fieldwork has confirmed this theory.	Just as dwarf red bulborbs mimic the appearance of normal bulborbs, it was theorized that an orange bulborb-mimicking variant must also exist. Recent fieldwork has confirmed this theory.
Spotty Bulbear	A midsize subspecies within the grub-dog family, the spotty bulbear's unique feeding habits set it apart from other grub-dogs. The spotty bulbear patrols a set path searching for prey, instead of passively feeding on creatures that wander into a limited territorial range. When entering bulbear habitat, it is wise to proceed with extreme caution until the bulbear's patrol path can be clearly identified.	Same as Pikmin 2.
Dwarf Bulbear	A grub-dog larva in its third stage of development, this creature's body structure is nearing maturation. However, unlike mature bulbears, it has yet to claim its own patrol route, and thus is dependent upon its parent for guarding direction.

Water Dumple	A resident of freshwater pools and marshes, this aquatic creature regularly feeds on insects that land on the surface of the water. It shares a nearly identical skeletal structure with its close relative and terrestrial cousin, the bulborb. This may offer clues to its evolutionary origin and suggests that it only recently emigrated to an aquatic habitat.

This may offer clues to its evolutionary origin and suggests that it only recently immigrated to an aquatic habitat.
Fiery Blowhog	This creature expels a volatile phosphorous compound from its snout that combusts upon contact with air. This fire-breathing ability is dependent upon the air-to-fuel ratio at its mouth, catalyst reaction within the expelled compound, and purification of the compound. Thus it is highly unlikely such a complex process could cause the spontaneous explosion of a fallen blowhog. (This process is also perhaps to avoid risk of spontaneous combustion in the belly of a live specimen.) However, one should still treat a fiery blowhog with great care, even after its life functions have ceased.

Watery Blowhog	A variant subspecies of the fiery blowhog, the watery blowhog lacks several of the dominant genes necessary for the production of fire-producing catalysts, and thus expels jets of the nonflammable liquid. This subspecies appears to have only recently evolved. However, the hereditary traits of this variant are dominant and highly robust, so its population is rapidly increasing.

Armored Cannon Larva	This specimen is a lithopod larva. This expedition was unable to confirm the existence of any mature lithopods, leading to concerns that the species was extinct on this planet, but the discovery of the creature in larval form eased such concerns. Lithopods, like flint beetles, use internal metabacteria to aid chemical digestion. These metabacteria can only survive in certain environments, such as within the body of certain insects, so lithopod larvae do not contain any metabacteria immediately after hatching. Larvae feed on partially digested ore regurgitated by mature lithopods, ensuring the larvae obtain metabacteria they would not normally have acquired.	Same as Pikmin 2.
Puffy Blowhog	This species of blowhog uses internally generated hydrogen to inflate a flotation bladder and hover above the ground. The creature's electrified pulse creates a sash of color that flows along the surface of its body, making it a particularly beautiful blowhog species. Precisely how it is able to internally stabilize its highly explosive hydrogen and simultaneously generate electricity remains a mystery. The puffy blowhog blows leaves and grass around to eat the insects underneath. It maintains midair buoyancy by using its fins and releasing air through blowholes. This enables it to float effortlessly, even in the breeze. In times of danger, the puffy blowhog can decompress its flotation bladder for a rapid escape from predators.	Same as Pikmin 2.
Iridescent Flint Beetle	Flint beetles are nocturnal, choosing to hide in the grass by day and stay active at night. These creatures keep undigested food pellets in their stomachs to sustain them through winter, but given the right stimulus they will spit them out. Recent research has revealed that these pellets are enveloped in a membrane that seals and preserves them in a sterile, airtight environment. If kept at room temperature, it seems that this pellet membrane will keep its contents fresh for up to six months. The membrane may be made from the same substance that gives the exoskeleton of the flint beetle its beautiful sheen.

This specimen is a subspecies of the previously documented species, recognizable by the variant pattern on its back.
Female Sheargrub	The males of this species are purple and black creatures with tapered mouths, while the females are lighter in color and lack an armored exoskeleton. As with most mandiblards, these creatures have regressed to the point where they have lost both legs and wings. They can be seen crawling around on the ground and are believed to feed on the vegetable extracts from the congealed fluids of expired Pikmin.

Male Sheargrub	This specimen is a male sheargrub. Having lost both legs and wings, the male burrows into the soil and waits to ambush small creatures that pass by. This beast's mandibles can be dangerous, making creatures such as Pikmin easy prey.	Same as Pikmin 2.
Shearwig	Unusual for their genus, flying mandiblards have retained their wings. However, only the adult males of this species can fly. Females of this species spend most of their life span underground. They do emerge for a period after maturation to spawn, but never metamorphose.

Hermit Crawmad	Looking at the eyes and sickle-shaped legs characteristic of squillas, one would think this is a squilla relative. In fact, it is a relative of the hermit crab. This species, however, has migrated from seaside life in a shell and instead inhabits burrows in the ground. While its legs appear sickle-like, they are pincers that have evolved into a fin shape. This beast feeds on small creatures that pass by its lair, dragging them inside to eat them.

It prefers to feed on small creatures that pass by its lair, dragging them inside to eat them.
Swooping Snitchbug	The scarpanids originally lived on the ground, sporting poorly developed vestigial wings. This species developed enlarged antennae that can be used as makeshift wings. Scarpanids are attracted by the sight of large groups of Pikmin in cavalry formation and will swoop down to seize them. However, scarpanids do not eat Pikmin, and they will drop any seized Pikmin after a short time. The reason for this behavior is unknown, but I look forward to future research in the area.	Same as Pikmin 2.
Toady Bloyster	This species of creature has yet to fully evolve from shelled mollusk to the more advanced bloyster. Compared to the bloyster, this creature is significantly smaller. The fact that its mandibles do not protrude as significantly as the ranging bloyster is due in part to the fact that like most mollusks, its vital organs are located deep within the creature's carapace.

The fact that its mandibles do not protrude as significantly as the ranging bloyster's is due in part to the fact that like most mollusks, its vital organs are located deep within the creature's carapace. The flowerlike appendage on its back is actually a gill. It prefers a watery habitat from which it can capture unsuspecting small prey with its sticky tendrils.
Yellow Wollywog	This magnificent specimen has the brightest gold coloration and the greatest number of lateral spots of any member in the amphituber family. This species seems to have lost some swimming proficiency with the evolutionary adaptation that granted it greater jumping ability. The amphituber inhabits aquatic shallows and shows an instinctive drive to jump upon and squash smaller creatures.	Same as Pikmin 2.
Wogpole	The wollywog spawns in early spring, laying its eggs on low-hanging tree branches and shrubs growing in or near lakes and ponds. Such unorthodox amphibious behavior is a defense mechanism, protecting the eggs from predation by blue Pikmin and water dumples. The wollywog's wild hopping near the shoreline in early spring is thought to be a method of driving predators away from the wogpole eggs.

Skitter Leaf	The skitter leaf is a relative of the pond skater that shed its wings and adapted to life on the ground. With no residual traits of its airborne past, the skitter leaf can neither fly nor skit across the surface of the water. The wings have since evolved into the leaflike structure on its back, which serves to hide the skitter leaf through mimicry. It appears quite effective, as few predators can see through this clever disguise.	Same as Pikmin 2.
Burrowing Snagret	The majority of snagret species lie in wait to ambush and capture prey, with a body type perfectly adapted to such sudden strikes. It violently attacks small, surface-dwelling insects. Distributed across a relatively wide range, subspecies of snagret suited to the varying soil conditions have emerged, making the snagret the most geographically represented species besides the bulborb. Visually resembling the burrowing snagret is the burrowing snarrow, the range of which partially overlaps with the snagret's range. While the two may appear similar, when pulled from the ground they can be distinguished by the presence or absence of tail and wing markings.	Same as Pikmin 2.

Bulborb	体長の半分をしめる大きな口と頭部につき出した眼が特徴。腹部は紅色で白い斑紋がある。主に夜間に活動し、特に夕方には帰巣する小動物をねらって活発になる。地の色が異なる亜種が、いくつか発見されており、あつかいについて学者の間で意見が分かれている。	Same as Pikmin 2.
Orange Bulborb	だいだい色の地に黒い水玉模様という、ややどぎつい色彩の斑紋を持つ。眼が黄色に充血していることからも明らかなように、常に神経が高ぶっており、他のデメマダラと比べて眠りからさめやすい。	Same as Pikmin 2.
Dwarf Bulborb	一見ベニデメマダラに見えるが、最近別種であることが確認された。分類ではパンモドキ科に属し、マキパンモドキの近種であることがわかっている。時に同種幼体すら捕食するベニデメマダラにおそわれないのは、ベニデメマダラが腹部紅白斑紋のみで同種成体を認識する習性のためであり、そのことを利用した実にたくみな擬態といえる。	Same as Pikmin 2.
Dwarf Orange Bulborb	赤いベニデメマダラに擬態したものがいれば、当然だいだい色のダイダイデメマダラに似せたものもいることは簡単に想像がつく。そして事実、こうやって発見されたわけだ。	Same as Pikmin 2.
Spotty Bulbear	デメマダラの中では中型の部類に入る。他のデメマダラと大きく異なるのはデメマダラが比較的せまい範囲をテリトリーとしてその中に入ってきた獲物を捕食する（待ちぶせ型）であるのに対し、このクマデメマダラは、昼間、特定の「道」を定期的にめぐって獲物を探す（パトロール型）であることだ。クマデメマダラの生息圏では、「道」に入らないように注意が必要である。	デメマダラの中では中型の部類に入る。他のデメマダラと大きく異なるのはデメマダラが比較的せまい範囲をテリトリーとしてその中に入ってきた獲物を捕食する「待ちぶせ型」であるのに対し、このクマデメマダラは、昼間、特定の「道」を定期的にめぐって獲物を探す「パトロール型」であることだ。クマデメマダラの生息圏では、「道」に入らないように注意が必要である。
Dwarf Bulbear	クマチャッピーの三齢幼生。ほぼ成体の姿となっているが、成体のように自分の「道」は持っておらず、まだ親の後をついてまわることしかできない。	Same as Pikmin 2.
Water Dumple	浅瀬に生息し、水に落ちた虫などを餌とする。デメマダラの近縁とあって類似点が見られ、特に骨格は陸棲の時の名残を多く残しており、比較的最近に陸棲から水棲に移行したようだ。	Same as Pikmin 2.
Fiery Blowhog	体前方の口吻より常温空気中で発火するリン化合物を吐く。吐き出す発火物質は触媒との反応や混合比など、生成プロセルが複雑なため（炎の逆流や体内での発火といったリスクを回避するためだと思われる）生命活動を止めても勝手に発火するといったことはない。それでも死体のあつかいには十分注意が必要である。	体前方の口吻より常温空気中で発火するリン化合物を吐く。吐き出す発火物質は触媒との反応や混合比など、生成プロセルが複雑なため（炎の逆流や体内での発火といったリスクを回避するためだと思われる）生命活動を止めても勝手に発火するといったことはない。それでも運搬中の扱いには十分注意が必要である。
Watery Blowhog	ヒフキブタドックリの変種。発火触媒を生成するいくつかの酵素が遺伝子欠落によって合成されないため触媒にいたる数ステップ前の液体のまま排出してしまう。この変異個体が出現したのはごく最近であるがその遺伝子特性がかなりの確率で遺伝するため現在ではその個体数をかなり増やしているようである。	ヒフキブタドックリの変種。発火触媒を生成するいくつかの酵素が遺伝子欠落によって合成されないため触媒にいたる数ステップ前の液体のまま噴出されてしまう。この変異個体が出現したのはごく最近であるが、その遺伝子特性がかなりの確率で遺伝するため現在ではその個体数をかなり増やしているようである。
Armored Cannon Larva	イシツツミの幼虫。今回、成虫が確認できず、この地域では死滅してしまったのではないかと思われていたが、幼虫が確認できたことでその心配はなくなった。これらイシツツミもショウヤムシと同じく体内のメタバクテリアの力で消化吸収を行う。メタバクテリアは鉱虫の体内など特殊な環境下でしか生存できず、イシツツミの幼虫もふ化直後はバクテリアを持っていない。そのため幼虫は成虫が吐き出したメタバクテリアが分解中の岩石を餌とすることで、本来持っていないメタバクテリアを確実に体内に取り入れることができるようだ。	イシツツミの幼虫。今回も成虫が確認できず、この地域では死滅してしまったのではないかと思われていたが、幼虫が確認できたことでその心配はなくなった。これらイシツツミもショウヤムシと同じく体内のメタバクテリアの力で消化吸収を行う。メタバクテリアは鉱虫の体内など特殊な環境下でしか存在できず、イシツツミの幼虫もふ化直後はバクテリアを持っていない。そのため幼虫は成虫が吐き出したメタバクテリアが分解中の岩石を餌とすることで、本来持っていないメタバクテリアを確実に体内に取り入れることができるようだ。
Puffy Blowhog	体内で発生させた水素で浮き袋をふくらませ浮遊する。電気分解のための生体パルスが帯となって体表面を流れる姿はブタドックリ科の中でも特に美しい。発電しながら爆発の危険がある水素をどうやって体内で安定させているのかはまだわかっていない。落ち葉や草を息でひっくり返して、その下にいる小虫を食べる。空中でのバランスコントロールにヒレだけでなく、体側面の気門から空気を噴出させ、そよ風程度ならば流されることなく安定した浮遊が可能である。また緊急時には浮き袋を解放し一気にその場から離脱することもできるようである。	体内で発生させた水素で浮き袋をふくらませ浮遊する。空気中の水分を電気分解することで水素を得ているのだが、発電しながら爆発の危険がある水素をどうやって体内で安定させているのかはまだわかっていない。落ち葉や草を息でひっくり返して、その下にいる小虫を食べる。空中でのバランスコントロールにヒレだけでなく、体側面の気門から空気を噴出させ、そよ風程度ならば流されることなく安定した浮遊が可能である。
Iridescent Flint Beetle	昼間は草の陰などでじっとしてあり、夜中にペレットを集めるために活動する。また、集めたペレットをすぐには消化せず体内にためこみ、冬にそなえる。刺激を与え、吐き出されたペレットを調べると特殊な皮膜（ラップ）に包まれ完全な密封状態で体内に保存されていることがわかる。この状態のペレットを放置しておき、ほぼ６ヶ月後皮膜を破いてみたところ、驚くべきことにペレットは元の鮮度を保ったままだったという。外骨格を美しくかがやかせているのもこの皮膜と同じ成分の分泌物のせいである。	昼間は草の陰などでじっとしてあり、夜中にペレットを集めるために活動する。また、集めたペレットをすぐには消化せず体内にためこみ、冬にそなえる。刺激を与え、吐き出されたペレットを調べると特殊な被膜（ラップ）に包まれ完全な密封状態で体内に保存されていることがわかる。この状態のペレットを放置しておき、ほぼ６ヶ月後被膜を破いてみたところ、驚くべきことにペレットは元の鮮度を保ったままだったという。外骨格を美しくかがやかせているのもこの被膜と同じ成分の分泌物のせいである。以前見かけたものとは背中の模様が違うが、生息域によって亜種がいると考えられる。
