The '''Unmarked Spectralids''' are enemies in Pikmin 2. They resemble small butterflies, colored either red, yellow, or purple. They are another helpless enemy, having absolutely no attacking power, but can fly away off the map boundaries to safety. The color of them dictates which type of [[spray]] or liquid they drop, being either [[Ultra-spicy spray|ultra-spicy spray]], [[Ultra-bitter spray|ultra-bitter spray]], or ordinary [[nectar]]. The only above groud ones are in the [[Awakening Wood]], there is margaret that contain four yellow Spectralids, and a Figwort near the constructable bridge that also houses 4 Spectralids. The red and purple ones (along with other yellow Spectralids) are only found in the 'rest areas' of the sublevels of some caves. Usually underground, they are found in flocks of 20 or more.

'''Unmarked Spectralids''' (or '''Unmarked Spectralid''', see [[#Naming|below]]; {{j|サンショクシジミ|Sanshoku Shijimi|Tricolored {{w|Lycaenidae|Lycaenids}}}}) are insects in {{p2}}. They resemble small butterflies and can be red, purple, or yellow. They are one of the harmless [[enemy|enemies]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], having no means of attack and doing nothing but fluttering around. They are located in specific patches of plants and appear upon being disturbed, though in some [[caves]] they are readily visible. They will leave the [[area]]'s boundaries some time after [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[leader]]s come within range of a swarm of them. Their color indicates what they drop when killed - a drop of [[ultra-spicy spray]] (red), [[ultra-bitter spray]] (purple) or [[nectar]] (yellow). Underground, they only have a 20% chance of dropping these rewards. These creatures instantly collapse and die if touched by a single Pikmin. Upon being petrified, they will fall down to the ground and crumble; in the Piklopedia, however, they will remain intact.
 
The only [[area]] aboveground they appear in is the [[Awakening Wood]], with one group hidden in a [[Margaret]] near the [[Sunseed Berry]], and another in a nearby [[Figwort]] (next to the [[bridge]] there). Red and purple Spectralids do not appear above ground, and can only be found with yellow Spectralids in [[rest sublevel]]s of certain [[cave]]s, usually found in clusters of 20 or more. In the Awakening Wood, only four of them appear together in each spot.
 
Unmarked Spectralids do not appear in {{p3}} or {{p4}}, and have been replaced with [[Red Spectralids]], [[Yellow Spectralids]], and [[White Spectralids]]. However, they are referenced in Olimar's notes for the White Spectralids in both games.

==Interactions==
Unmarked Spectralids seem to not fear creatures that are idling. If there is a [[Mamuta]] in the same level as a swarm of Unmarked Spectralids, it is possible to spot some of the Spectralids land on the creature as it idles. In addition, after both the Unmarked Spectralids and the [[Bulborb|Red]], [[Orange Bulborb|Orange]], and [[Hairy Bulborb]]s have been added to the in-game [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]], the Spectralids can be seen flying around the former two bulborbs in their respective Piklopedia files.
 
Spectralids merely flutter about without waking up the bulborb and may occasionally land on it, but due to the way collisions work in the game they are unreasonably strong. As a result, they can push the bulborb around, sometimes even shoving it out of the regular map boundaries.{{cite youtube|kuO2x6K14ng|of Unmarked Spectralids pushing a Red Bulborb around|published={{date|19|June|2019}}|retrieved={{date|20|June|2019}}}}
 
==Strategy==
{{guide}}
If you have many [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] with you, [[throw]] them rapidly into the air in all directions in an attempt to knock them down. Otherwise, you can spray a large group with an [[ultra-bitter spray]], since spraying them makes them fall to the ground, burst, and instantly die.
 
They cannot be damaged with punches in any way, not even while petrified or resting atop a Mamuta.

==Naming==
{{naming
| common = Unmarked Spectralids. The word "Unmarked" is used because these creatures do not have any markings on them. "Spectralids" relates to the word "spectral", referring to their vibrant colors. Given that the name of entries in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] is always in singular, and there is no instance in the game of the term "Spectralid", it is likely that "Spectralids" both refers to one creature, singular, as well as multiple, plural. This trend continues in {{p3}}. That said, there is no specific mention of the creature in singular, outside of the Piklopedia entry name, so it is possible its singular name is something else, albeit unknown.

| jpname = {{j|モンナシモリシジミ|Mon Nashi Mori Shijimi|Patternless Forest Lycaenid}}.
| scientific = ''Fenestari prismatus''. ''Fenestari'' is close to ''fenestra'', which roughly means "bending". This word might reference how their wings bend back and forth. ''Prismatus'' is similar to "{{w|prism}}", possibly a nod to how triangular prisms can disperse light in a colorful rainbow; color variety being a strong theme in the naming and nature of the Spectralids.
| internal = The internal name for the Unmarked Spectralids is <code>shijimichou</code>, or "{{j|シジミチョウ|shijimichou}}", which is a butterfly belonging to the {{w|Lycaenidae}} family.}}

==Trivia==
*Although their [[health]] is specified to be 200 in the game files, they are programmed to die instantly when a Pikmin is thrown at them, making this health value [[Unused content in Pikmin 2|unused]].
**In addition, even if they are hit by a [[bomb rock]]'s explosion, their health will drop to 0, but they will continue to be alive.{{cite youtube|-WHVxtW7RxQ|showing how different enemies react to bomb rock explosions|m=3|s=9|published={{date|1|May|2021}}|retrieved={{date|31|October|2022}}}}
*Unmarked Spectralids are the only creatures to appear in another creature's [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] file.
*If the Spectralids is resting on a Mamuta, and the player sprays the Mamuta, the Spectralids will fly off and flutter about for a bit. Killing the petrified Mamuta and leaving the scene can cause the Spectralids to return to its original position, which means it will stand in mid-air.{{cite youtube|QDGe9OZ661Q|of a Spectralids returning to the spot where a Mamuta was}}
*The [[Beady Long Legs]] is fully programmed to drop 25 Unmarked Spectralids upon death if it has no treasure. However, due to a [[mistake]] from the programmers, this does not occur, and it simply drops nothing.{{cite youtube|1shxH8n5NW4|explaining why Beady Long Legs fails to drop 25 Unmarked Spectralids upon death}}
*While Unmarked Spectralids fall to the floor and shatter when petrified, this is not the case in the [[Piklopedia]].
