The '''Waterwraith''', writes [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]], ''"may be the ectoplasmic incarnation of a kind of psychic 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 (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. Its appearance is generally humanoid in shape, with the suggestion of a head, body, arms and legs, but without distinct characteristics, and with a watery, transparent body. When encountered in the Submerged Castle, but not in the Bully Den, its music will play - music that is played only then.  The following is a sample.

In the [[Bully Den]], you will already have 25 purples, but no other color of Pikmin. Here, there are two Waterwraiths.

The Waterwraith is one of the few enemies in Pikmin 2 which has its own background music, along with the [[Titan Dweevil]] and the [[Giant Breadbug]]. In Sublevels 1-4, when it appears, a 'scarier' version of the boss music plays. When it has no rollers, a 'sillier' version plays.

In Sublevels 1-4, when it appears, a its own music track plays. When it has no rollers, a different piece of music plays, which has a more positive mood.

While in the Piklopedia, press the "Z" button immediately to petrify its roller. When the Waterwraith itself lands, it too will be encased in stone, but the roller will revert to its normal state before the creature itself. Petrify it again, and the Wraith is normal, but not the rollers; the Wraith will have problems lifting them. Its audio will get messed up, as it cries with each attempt to pick up the front roller. It is possible to do this in the main game (and Challenge Mode) as well, but the beast won't turn purple when Purple Pikmin are throw at it. This is because it needs to lift its rollers first.
