In ''Pikmin 2'', two types of enemies are known to revive after they've been killed: the [[Spotty Bulbear]]s and the [[Gatling Groink]]s. Once their health points reach 0, a moderately slow process of revival occurs, where the enemy's health is filled up. The creature remains "dead" throughout this process, but once its health is full, two minutes later, it will be brought back to life. When its health reaches 0 during battle, the enemy will not release a [[spirit]] like most enemies, further hinting that the creature is not completely defeated. | In ''Pikmin 2'', two types of enemies are known to revive after they've been killed: the [[Spotty Bulbear]]s and the [[Gatling Groink]]s.

If the enemy is killed while [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], it will not leave a corpse, and hence, cannot revive. Finally, the only other way to ensure an enemy does not revive is to have it fall off the floor of a [[cave]], if possible. | ||
Interestingly, both of the enemies that can revive can also freely roam the areas and caves they are found in. | Interestingly, both of the enemies that can revive can also freely roam the areas and caves they are found in. | ||
