[[File:Pikmin 3DS aquatic enemy.jpg|thumb|right|A lamprey-like enemy.]]

An unknown lamprey-like creature can be seen in the Nintendo Direct trailer during an underwater section. Its body is mostly purple with a yellow underside and a pattern of blue ovals along its side together with red and yellow cuttlefish-like fins. It has two eyes on thin, pink stalks and a large, pink round mouth filled with teeth. It announces its present by peeking from the bottom, and then going back down. Some seconds after it does this, it quickly spirals upwards from the bottom and blocks the player's path. Pikmin or smaller enemies that touch the mouth during this attack are eaten and killed. To damage it, Pikmin must be thrown at its extended body.

[[File:Pikmin 3DS dragonfly.jpg|thumb|right|A dragonfly-like creature.]]

A large, green, vaguely dragonfly-like creature can be seen slowly moving across the top of the screen during the Nintendo Direct trailer. It's currently unknown if the creature is flying on its own or if it is getting dragged by something. The creature exhibits some [[scarpanid]]-like traits, sporting a plump, green, multiple segmented torso and a small, lime green head with large red and yellow eyes. In addition to these features, the creature seems to have small, horizontal insect-like wings and an elongated, brown segmented abdomen similar to dragonflies. The creature carries several sparklium seeds objects under its abdomen and the player can throw Pikmin at them to break them into smaller parts that can be carried.

[[File:Hey! Pikmin electric bug.png|thumb|left|An unnamed orange bug.]]

Two burrowing creatures can be seen near the bottom left corner of the game's box art. They have six legs and three body segments. They are later seen in some gameplay patrolling a platform. They can be used as light source to light up dark areas by throwing Yellow Pikmin at them, presumably because they're electric as seen by the sparks they emit after being hit by one. In the gameplay shown, a Yellow Pikmin is thrown at it and a flower nearby opens up, similar to the [[Bloominous Stemple]] from {{p3}}.{{cite youtube|ddcsxQSNN2k|The same Nintendo Direct from April 2017, albeit shortened.

[[File:Hey! Pikmin green spiky bugs.jpg|thumb|right|The unnamed green spiky bugs.]]

There are some green, round, spiky creatures that walk back and forth between two holes. If they are hit with a Rock Pikmin, they temporarily stand in place, and serve as an obstacle for further thrown Pikmin. While Rock Pikmin bounce harmlessly off of them, because of their spiky nature, non-Rock Pikmin will get killed if they touch one of these.

[[File:Hey! Pikmin dung beetle.jpg|thumb|right|An enemy resembling a dung beetle.]]

An enemy can be seen in the Japanese trailer pushing a [[crystal]] block against Olimar and his leaders. It looks like a beetle, but the way it pushes the block, with its hind legs, is very reminiscent of the real world {{w|dung beetle}}. If Olimar and the Pikmin push back, they are able to drag the obstacle in the opposite direction.

[[File:Hey! Pikmin Fiery Bulblax.jpg|thumb|right|A Fiery Bulblax.]]

[[File:Hey! Pikmin Calcified Crushblat.jpg|thumb|left|An enemy resembling the Calcified Crushblat.]]

An enemy very similar to a [[Calcified Crushblat]] can be found in area 3-A. It roams around, and 3 Rock Pikmin must be thrown at its shell to take it off. Normal Pikmin will just bounce back if thrown at the shell. After it is broken, the creature's will become afraid of the Pikmin and try to run away quickly. Its soft flesh can now be attacked with any Pikmin type. If it still has the calcification and notices a Pikmin in front of it, there's a chance it may decide to attack it. For this, it bends down and crushes it. All Pikmin types can be crushed, even Rock Pikmin. Compared to the ''Pikmin 3'' Crushblat, this one is smaller and greener.
