 The '''Waterwraith''', writes Olimar, 'may be the ectoplasmic incarnation of a kind of physic phenomenon'. It is said that it may even be created from the fear of other things, much like Bogmire, the second boss of Luigi's Mansion. It is found only in the [[Submerged Castle]] (all sublevels), and in the [[Bully Den]] in [[Challenge Mode]]. Its appearance is generally human in shape, with the suggestion of a head, body, arms and legs, but without distinct characteristics.  The body is somewhat transparent.
-When encountered, the beast falls from the sky and moves around on its stone 'rollers'. It will chase Olimar and any Pikmin nearby, with greater focus on crushing the active Captain. It is invincible to any Pikmin assault, even if [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], '''except''' that of [[Purple Pikmin]]. When a purple lands on or near the Waterwraith in a fashion that would stun any other beast, it turns a deep shade of purple not dissimilar to that of the Pikmin that cause this state to come about. Like this, it is vulnerable to '''all''' Pikmin attacks. Strangely, petrifying the Waterwraith makes it less vulnerable to Purple Pikmin, in which case the throw must form a perfect arch for enough impact to tmake the creature susceptible to attack. When its health has been fully depleted, the rollers crumble and the Waterwraith will run all around the cave, no longer a threat to your Pikmin. Attack with more purples and then you can easily attack it with other Pikmin. When defeated, it will vanish into nothingness and you will be troubled no more. It drops the [[Professional Noisemaker]], a useful addition to the [[Exploration Kit]] the first time you beat it in the [[Submerged Castle]].

 NOTE: In the [[Submerged Castle]], you will only be able to get purples on the last sublevel (5) via the [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s.

 The Waterwraith is one of the few enemies in Pikmin which has its own background music. (Along with the [[Giant Breadbug]] and [[Titan Dweevil]]). In Sublevels 1-4, when it appears, a 'scarier' version of the boss music plays. When it has no rollers, a more 'entertaining' music plays.
-== Olimar's Notes ==
+{{Notes|enemy}}
-All that is known about this creature stems from a few sightings deep
-underground. All reported sightings feature the same core sets of details: a
-giant, vicious form with a clear, hazy sheen not unlike hard candy. One theory
-holds that it may be the ectoplasmic incarnation of a kind of physic
-phenomenon, but as is usually the case with such theories, it is very difficult
-to prove. All witnesses report being suddenly overcome with fear upon sighting
-the creature, approaching a state of panic and near insanity. In fact, every
-report an inordinate amount of extremely vague details, which has led to
-suspicion that exhaustion and fear have caused some simple natural phenomenon
-to be viewed as a living creature.
-== Louie's Notes ==
-Inedible. Known to cause mass hysteria, followed by leg spasms
-and internal thunderings.
