Behavior[edit]
Sparrowheads generally spawn in groups of at least 2 individuals. They remain off-screen and descend when Olimar and his Pikmin get close. They will then hover in place until they spot a target, indicated by a chirping sound. They will attempt to skewer Pikmin or Captain Olimar by flying into them.
Locations[edit]
Strategy[edit]
Sparrowheads can be defeated by throwing Pikmin onto them when they are within reach, usually right before they attempt an attack.
