The '''Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat''' ({{j|コマンマン|Ko Manman|Small ''[[Jellyfloat family#Naming|Manman]]''}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. They resemble large, blue, floating {{w|jellyfish}}es with yellow spots, that float through the air. They attack the [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] by inhaling them and trapping them inside. The Pikmin will then be digested over a considerably long period of time, specifically 1 Pikmin per 30 seconds, but can be saved by defeating it. These creatures are related to the [[Greater Spotted Jellyfloat]]. They are also similar to the [[Medusal Slurker]] in the fact that they have clear bodies and keep Pikmin trapped inside of them. In ''Pikmin 4'', they can't digest Pikmin, and they seem to have a limit of about 40 Pikmin. They also can no longer be weighed down by Pikmin, likely to facilitate the use of the new [[Ice Pikmin]] to defeat them.

Lesser Spotted Jellyfloats sing a faint song while idling, that is easiest to hear when music is turned off in the [[Menu/Options|options menu]].{{cite youtube|gomN9RyR8jc|showing off the Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat's faint song}} Upon death, they swirl around the air and brilliantly explode in an array of small sparkling lights.

====Caves====
*[[Shower Room]]
**One can be seen on sublevel 2.
**One can be seen on sublevel 3.
**One can be seen on sublevel 5.
*[[Hole of Heroes]]
**Two can be seen on sublevel 15.

**One can be seen on sublevel 6.
**Two can be seen on sublevel 10, with one holding the [[Talisman of Life]].

===''Pikmin 4''===
====Caves====
*[[Seafloor Resort]]
**There are three Lesser Spotted Jellyfloats on sublevel 1. Two Jellyfloats are located directly west of the base, floating above the section containing two [[water spout]]s and a pile of [[Gold Nugget]]s. One of these Jellyfloats may be holding 5 [[Wild Pikmin|wild]] [[Blue Pikmin]]. The third Jellyfloat can be found north of the base, in the raised section opposite the [[dirt wall]]. This section holds a [[Flarlic]] and is being covered by water from the [[sprinkler]].
**There is one Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat on sublevel 3. It is located across the [[clay bridge]] and is guarding the [[Brush of Foolishness]].
*[[Ultimate Testing Range]]
**There are three Lesser Spotted Jellyfloats on sublevel 4. The first Jellyfloat can be found west of the base, across the [[moving walkway]]. This Jellyfloat may be holding 5 wild [[Winged Pikmin]]. The other two Jellyfloats are located northeast of the base, in the section containing a pile of [[raw material]]s. One of these Jellyfloats may also be holding 5 wild Winged Pikmin, and one of these two Jellyfloats will fall from the sky.

====Dandori Challenges====
*[[Hefty Haulway]]
**There are two Lesser Spotted Jellyfloats in this challenge. The first Jellyfloat is located on the raised platform north of the base, with it being between the pile of Gold Nuggets and the [[Slapstick Crescent]]. The second Jellyfloat can be found directly east of the base, past the [[iron fence]] that can be lowered. Each Jellyfloat will be holding 5 wild [[Yellow Pikmin]].
*[[Strategic Freezeway]]
**THere is one Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat in this challenge. It can be found directly north of the base, in the section containing an unlit [[bonfire altar]], as well as a pile of Gold Nuggets and the [[Daughter of the Earth]]. This Jellyfloat will be holding 5 wild [[Red Pikmin]].
*[[Trial of the Sage Leaf]]
**There is one Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat found in the [[Final Story: The Purple Key]]. It is located in the section north of the base, accessed through the nearby [[tunnel]], and it will be towards the west, next to the Purple [[Candypop Bud]]. This Jellyfloat will be holding 5 wild [[Ice Pikmin]].

== Strategy ==
{{guide}}

=== Pikmin ===
If you encounter one, stay out of its path and throw Pikmin at it. If it is above your Pikmin, it will suck them up. It is vulnerable on all parts of its body, and has moderately low [[health]]. [[Purple Pikmin]] will automatically make this creature fall due to their weight; they are also good for defeating it, as stunning it will prevent it from getting back into the air. When defeated, all undigested Pikmin will be recovered. The creature will also shake Pikmin off, both in the air and when it recovers flight. Know this and [[whistle]] your Pikmin back before the enemy shakes, as to avoid having the Pikmin lose their flower status.

To note is that if a Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat digests a [[White Pikmin]], it will not take damage from it. This is also the case with the Greater Spotted Jellyfloat, at least in ''Pikmin 2''.

In ''Pikmin 4'', Lesser Spotted Jellyfloats are harmless as they cannot kill Pikmin. They are still an annoyance to fight, as most Pikmin latch onto the tentacles, where they can be inhaled. Purple Pikmin cannot be inhaled. Inhaled Pikmin will often have their flowers close or buds wilt, so it is still advised to avoid absorbtion.

If frozen, a Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat will fall and shatter on impact with the ground, making [[Ice Pikmin]] ideal to use against it. This is doubly useful in Dandori Challenges, as it cuts down the time needed to defeat them and retrieve Pikmin inside without the worry of destroying it's corpse, which it wouldn't leave behind either way.

=== Leaders ===
With the [[Rocket Fist]], a [[leader]] can hit a Jellyfloat above them with their third [[punch]]. Without this upgrade, the only way to do damage is to hit the creature while on a raised ledge next to it. Both of these methods take a long time, however, so using Pikmin is recommended.

It is also possible to kill a Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat with the use of an [[Armored Cannon Larva|Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]. If the larva is at the same height as the Jellyfloat, or even a little lower, and the player lures the Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat into using the sucking animation, the boulder shot by the Armored Cannon Beetle Larva can hit the floating enemy. However, this strategy requires a lot of timing and precision, and the best place to see it happen is in the [[Dream Den#Sublevel 6|sixth sublevel of the Dream Den]]. This technique is easier to apply if the Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat is grounded. This strategy also works against a Greater Spotted Jellyfloat.

=== Dalmo's notes ===
{{Transcript|Notice the elegant way it floats and its delicate transparency?! The mystical sky-blue color always catches my gaze and won't let go. Even when the drifting darling sucks up Pikmin, it doesn't eat them but gently envelops them. What a sweetheart!|block=y}}

=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{Transcript|This native Jellyfloat is indigenous to the region. Unfortunately, it is currently endangered, as its habitat is being overwhelmed by hostile invasive species.|block=y}}

=== Louie's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{Transcript|Similar in taste and texture to gelatin, this jiggling mass of jelly can be sculpted into all kinds of creative shapes. As a bonus, it also doubles as professional-grade hair gel. It's the perfect cool summer treat!|block=y}}

===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|It may be slightly less dangerous than the Greater Spotted Jellyfloat, but the lesser of the species is still a major annoyance. By attacking the beast with tossed Pikmin, you can weigh it down, then swarm it with the rest of your troops on the ground.|block=y}}

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
A blue, rather small jellyfish that lives on land. It has no nematocysts, which are characteristic of jellyfish, on its tentacles and three oral arms, and it floats in the air, sucking up prey that comes near it.

Feature #1: Sucking up prey
:Taking advantage of the difference in atmospheric pressure between its body and the air outside, it vigorously sucks up prey with the air.
:(Image text: "Because its digestive organs are small and immature, it takes a long time to digest its prey")

Feature #2: Native species
:It has gradually lost its habitat due to loss of food to the non-native Greater Spotted Jellyfloat.

*If a leader approaches a Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat without any Pikmin in their group, the enemy won't be interested at all and will stay idle, unlike its larger counterpart, the [[Greater Spotted Jellyfloat]].
