GrabbitEdit

Main article: Grabbit.

Scientific name: Rhodoloimos salito

The Grabbit is a green creature, with big red eyes, two small wings and four legs. This creature spends its time jumping, but can kill Pikmin if it lands on one of them. Aside from that, this creature is inoffensive.

NamingEdit

Jellyper has "lyper" in it, which sounds like leaper. This is because of members of the family's ability to leap very high. The name also has "jelly" in it, because gelatinous objects have bouncy properties. This is also because members constantly leap, or bounce forward.

The family genus Rhodoloimos is derived of rhodo, Greek for "rose" and referring to its pink eye. Loimos has no known meaning.
