Scientific name: ''Narrolingus piscatum''

The Puckering Blinnow is an aquatic enemy debuting in ''Pikmin 3''. They are small, colorful fish enemies that inhabit bodies of water. They will occasionally try to eat Pikmin, and in ''Pikmin 3'' they may even leap out of the water. In ''Hey Pikmin'', they attack Pikmin by waiting a moment and simply charging in a straight line. In some areas they can end up on land, making them harmless until they get back in water.
