They are legless, round, flying insects that have evolved wing-like antennae as a means of locomotion. They swoop down, as their name suggests, and grab their prey with their claws – a maximum of two at once. After carrying them for a few seconds, they violently throw them towards the ground. This action would harm most prey, whereas [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are simply replanted and reverted to their original [[Maturity|leaf stage]] in the first two games (in ''Pikmin 3'', their maturity remains the same). They are also able to pick up the [[leader]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', much like [[Bumbling Snitchbug]]s do in ''Pikmin 2'' – if they don't [[button mashing|escape]], they will be tossed to the ground and [[health|damaged]]. | ||
These creatures will plummet to the ground if weighed down by a sufficient number of Pikmin, or with a single [[Purple Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 2'' or a single [[Rock Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 3''. This renders it susceptible to further attack. [[ultra-bitter spray]]s may also be used to freeze it in mid-air, causing it to drop to the ground, which is arguably easier, but of course produces no corpse, and may be considered a waste of sprays. | These creatures will plummet to the ground if weighed down by a sufficient number of Pikmin, or with a single [[Purple Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 2'' or a single [[Rock Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 3''.

==Appearance== | |||
In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', they have a brown body with a green moss like tint on some parts and green lines in between the parts of their "exoskeleton". They also have a golden head with antennae that go from yellow to orange. | |||
In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the green tint is removed with the green lines also being less noticeable, and the head is also now also a pale green and the antennae now go from green to yellow to orange. | |||
In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the creature is now a light yellowish green with a texture not too dissimilar to the exoskeleton of some beetles. Their antennae have also changed to a yellow to brown gradient. | |||
They also gained more realistic compound eyes compared to the glass-like eyes with pupils from ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2''. | |||
In ''[[Hey! Pikmin]]'', the body is now a much darker green with the head and arms being a pale yellow and their lower arms also now resemble the [[Bumbling Snitchbug|Bumbling Snitchbug's]] arms in shape, | |||
their antennae have once again changed color to orange to a dark maroonish red, and they also return to having the less realistic eyes from ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'' but are missing the red to yellow gradient that they have in every other game. | |||
