(I think the VoR image is nice as it shows how it looks in-game and how you can see through it, but if anyone thinks the concept art would be better, switch it. Trying out including the music too...)

The planet that [[Olimar]] lands on, in both [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]] and [[Pikmin 2]], is the natural habitat of [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] as well as many other lifeforms, many of them predators of the Pikmin. The planet is known as the '''planet of the Pikmin''' or the '''Pikmin planet''' in both games. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' it is known as '''Distant Planet'''.

Whether or not the Pikmin planet actually is our Earth or an alternate version is yet to be revealed in the games or by Shigeru Miyamoto, the game's creator; either way, it is doubtful that the similarities are coincidental. Tin cans as well as many other man-made objects and structures from modern times can be found lying around in the first game (for example, parts of [[Perplexing Pool]] and [[The Distant Spring]] appear to be the remains of a bathroom), and all the 'treasures' found in the second game are man-made or objects natural to Earth. These even include many items that are registered trademarks of existing companies.

This is a Waterwraith as seen in the ingame Piklopedia at the Valley of Repose
The Waterwraith as seen in the Piklopedia.

The Waterwraith, writes Olimar, "may be the ectoplasmic incarnation of a kind of psychic phenomenon". It is found only in Submerged Castle (all sublevels), and in Bully Den in Challenge Mode. Its appearance is generally humanoid in shape, with the suggestion of a head, body, arms and legs, but without distinct characteristics, and with a watery, transparent body. The ship notes that although it can be seen, its sensors detect nothing, leading to the conclusion that the Waterwraith's physical form is anchored in another dimension. It is one of the most dangerous enemies, as it can kill Pikmin by just rolling over them once. When encountered in the Submerged Castle, but not in the Bully Den, its music will play - music that is played only then. The following is a sample.
