This enemy, simply called "enemy01" in the game files, was most likely an enemy for testing purposes. It comes in 7 variations: the "standard" pink one, a brown one called "iwa", a red one called "yaki", a green one called "tobi", a blue one called "yoroi", an orange one called "pero", and another pink one with dots for eyes.
This enemy is strikingly similiar to the Piranha Plant enemy from the Mario series. It appears to have been cut early on in development, as it only has 4 animations in total, and the model has no shading at all.
This enemy probably belonged to the blowhog family. It has animations for blowing air, presumably to blow away Captain Olimar and his Pikmin. It is lime-green with colorful pink, blue, and yellow spots, almost resembling candy. Besides these spots, it is completely translucent, contrary to used blowhogs. It has white lips at the end of its snout, and has a shape almost identical to the Puffy Blowhog, though with no spikes on its back.[source needed]
This is a blue-striped creature, presumably a type of blowhog. It has crystals on its back. Its internal name is also called crystal. Its shape specifically resembles a Withering Blowhog. It may have a relation to the Maridokuri since they both resemble blowhogs and are one of the only transparent enemies in the game.[1]
This enemy heavily resembles The Creeping Chrysanthemum, and was probably related to it in some way. However, it can be infered that it is not the same creature as in Pikmin 2; it has an entirely different coloration, it has a different method of attacking, and it has a different Japanese name, with ビックリ菊?, lit.: "Surprising Chrysanthemum" being the Japanese name of the Pikmin 2 creature, and this creature's name is ピクタベ?. Pikutabe has various animations, which include popping out of the ground, attacking the player and going back underground.[source needed]

Horoki is a plant like object, and is very similar to a Candypop Bud. Since it has minor parameter data, it can be inferred it was one of the last enemies cut from Hey! Pikmin. It has a few animations, such as spitting something out, probably Pikmin seeds, and deflating, probably after a certain amount of Pikmin are thrown in. This is all assuming its behavior was to be similar to Candypop Buds throughout the previous games. It finally has an idle animation. What is interesting is it does not perfectly resemble any Candypop Bud seen in the previous games, as it has orange leaves and a gray top, wheares most of these flowers are all one color.[source needed]
Coguchi has very few animations. These include attacking with it's huge mouth, rushing towards the player, and being idle. It has a striking resemblance to the Puckering Blinnow, so it was likely to be in the elips family. It has an even more elongated mouth, slightly resembling a swordfish.[source needed]
Gareki is a an enemy that resembles a real-world snail. It has a yellow-orange body with four large green holes on a hump which is comparable in shape to the shell of a real snail. It also sports red eye-stalks, making it even more snail-like.[2]
This is presumably a type of mockiwi. It has a duckbill, a white body, and a brown face. Besides the duckbill, it highly resembles the Whiptongue Bulborb.[3] Also like its grub-dog counterpart, it has a very long tongue that was probably planned to be able to catch Pikmin. Interestingly, it has a drowning animation similar to the Mockiwi in Serene Stream.[3]
This is presumably another type of mockiwi. It has a black body and spikes with red tips. It can be assumed that the creature wasn't planned to be able to be killed with most Pikmin, judging how Pikmin die from the spikes of Speargrubs. However, Rock Pikmin are resistant Speargrubs, so they may have been resistant to this creature as well. This creature has a drowning animation, similar to the Mockiwi in Serene Stream.[4]
Herculeseboshi is an enemy that resembles a real-world crab. It has a green-grey body and it has shiny orange eyes resting within eye-stalks.[5] It slightly resembles a Mitite.
All mockiwi varients including the unused ones and besides the Elongated Crushblat have drowning animations. Only the basic Mockiwi uses this animation in-game, in the area Serene Stream. All others have gone unused.
