'''Health''' (also known as '''Hit Points''' or '''Health Points''', and usually shortened to '''HP''') is a common mechanic in games, used to represent how close a living entity is to dying. In general terms, the higher something's health is, the more damage it can sustain before dying. When its health reaches 0, it dies. | '''Health''' (also known as '''Hit Points''' or '''Health Points''', and usually shortened to '''HP''') is a common mechanic in games, used to represent how close a living entity is to dying.

As an enemy gets hit by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] attacks (or [[leader]] [[punch]]es, explosions, etc.), its health drops. Generally, enemies show no signs of weakeness when they are low on health. Once an enemy is dead, it will either leave its dead body, which can be carried to an [[Onion]], or it'll drop some spoils. Any damage caused to an enemy will not carry over onto the next [[day]], with the exception of [[bosses]] in ''Pikmin 3''. | As an enemy gets hit by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] attacks (or [[leader]] [[punch]]es, explosions, etc.), its health drops.
