The Waterwraith is one of the few bosses introduced prior to ''Pikmin 4'' that has its own unique background [[music]], along with the [[Giant Breadbug]] and [[Vehemoth Phosbat]].

Since it can only be conventionally damaged by Purple Pikmin, the only way to combat it in the Submerged Castle and Engulfed Castle is to survive until the final sublevel, where you can get Purple Pikmin via [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s. | Since it can only be conventionally damaged by Purple Pikmin, the only way to combat it in the Submerged Castle and Engulfed Castle is to survive until the final sublevel, where you can get Purple Pikmin via [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s. | ||
When a Purple Pikmin lands on or near the Waterwraith in a fashion that would stun any other beast, it turns a deep shade of purple not too different to that of the Purple Pikmin themselves. In this state, it is vulnerable to ''all'' Pikmin attacks. When the Waterwraith's [[health]] has been fully depleted, the rollers crumble and the creature starts running aimlessly around the cave, no longer a threat to your Pikmin. Attack with more Purple Pikmin and then you can easily attack it with other Pikmin. When defeated, it will vanish into nothing, and you will be troubled no more.

The Waterwraith can be petrified, which is useful to stop it if it is coming towards you, but while in this state, it cannot be damaged with normal attacks – Pikmin that attack will just cause an effect similar to attacking a [[reinforced wall]] in other games. Purple Pikmin that land with a thud on the petrified creature have a different behavior, however. When the boss has its rollers, a thud can cause the [[HUD#Health wheel|health wheel]] to appear, if it hasn't already. In the state without rollers, these thuds will actually cause a small amount of damage, and make it possible to kill the creature when petrified. | The Waterwraith can be petrified, which is useful to stop it if it is coming towards you, but while in this state, it cannot be damaged with normal attacks – Pikmin that attack will just cause an effect similar to attacking a [[reinforced wall]] in other games.

To note is that {{j|雨|ame}} means "rain". Though it is not used to describe a texture in the same way "candy" is being used, it may be referencing the Waterwraith's habit of falling from the sky. | ||

|internal = Its internal name in ''Pikmin 2'' is <code>blackman</code>. The "man" part is naturally because of its human-like frame, and "black" is presumably due to the fact that it can turn purple when attacked by [[Purple Pikmin]] – [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information|during development]], Purple Pikmin were much darker and given the name "black". Interestingly, the names of the creature's animations inside the game's files refer to it as "Kagebōzu" ({{j|かげボウズ|Kagebōzu}}), which means "Shadow Bouzu". This indicates that, during development, the Waterwraith's Japanese name was meant to be different. Interestingly, there exists another type of yokai known as Oonyuudou, described as an unclear shadow or a giant rather than a monk, if it was originally called shadow, it may be in reference to this other yokai. ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} [[Plasm Wraith]] is named after this other yokai in the Japanese version, {{j|アメニュウドウ|Ame Nyuudou|Candy Nyuudou}}. | |internal = Its internal name in ''Pikmin 2'' is <code>blackman</code>.
