The '''Sputtlefish''' | The '''Sputtlefish''' is a squid-like enemy with a flower-like protrusion atop its head, found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. These enemies can only be found underwater. They swim casually when not threatened, but upon the arrival of Pikmin, they will take an upright posture and swim towards them. They can lash out on Pikmin with their tentacles, grabbing and eating them one at a time. If attacked, one will release ink which causes Pikmin to panic for some time until they are whistled and swim away. The Sputtlefish can also gradually heal if left alone once attacked. | ||

{{transcript|Sputtlefish are small aquatic creatures that release ink when attacked. When you encounter a Sputtlefish, lock onto the creature and send a squad of Blue Pikmin charging in to attack. With a reasonably large squad, you shouldn't have any trouble defeating a Sputtlefish before it has a chance to retaliate. | {{transcript|Sputtlefish are small aquatic creatures that release ink when attacked.

If the creature does manage to release its ink, however, any Pikmin caught in the cloud will panic.

Sputtlefish are generally passive creatures, attacking only when Pikmin are nearby. If the player doesn't bother it, it won't bother them. They are overall very simple creatures with a quick but predictable lash attack, capable of snatching only one Pikmin at a time, and they eat relatively slowly. When in danger, however, a Sputtlefish may release a cloud of ink, scattering any attacking Pikmin and propelling itself away from the fight | Sputtlefish are generally passive creatures, attacking only when Pikmin are nearby.

* The Sputtlefish's tentacle ends resemble leaves, and the top of its head resembles a flower | * The Sputtlefish's name is based off of "spurt" – since it squirts ink to defend itself – and cuttlefish, a real-life animal that it resembles. A cuttlefish has two tentacles and a soft body, much like the Sputtlefish. | ||
* The Sputtle part of the name could also be based off of the real life [[wikipedia:Sputtle|sputtle]], an excretion produced by insects that functions as a paralytic defense. | |||
* The Sputtlefish's tentacle ends resemble leaves, and the top of its head resembles a flower. | |||
