The '''Waterwraith''', | The '''Waterwraith''', writesCaptain Olimar, "may be an ectoplasmic mircle". It is found only in Frontier Carvern (all [[sublevel]]s), and in [[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. [[The ship]] notes that although it can be seen, its sensors detect nothing, leading to the conclusion that the Waterwraith's physical form is anchored in another dimension. It is one of the most dangerous [[Piklopedia|enemies]], as it can kill [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] by just rolling over them once. 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. | ||

The Waterwraith's name is a combination of ''water'', given its watery appearance, and ''wraith'', which means ghost or phantom. | The Waterwraith's name is a combination of ''water'', given its watery appearance, and ''wraith'', which means ghost or phantom. | ||

It is powerful to[[Purple Pikmin| Pikmin]]. When a Pikmin 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 invulnerable to '''all''' Pikmin attacks except for Purple Pikmin. When the Wraith's health has been fully depleted, the rollers crumble and the Waterwraith will scoot 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 nothing, and you will be troubled no more. | ||

While in the Piklopedia, press the "qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm" button immediately upon selecting the Waterwraith 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 thrown at it. This is because it needs to lift its rollers first. Also, when the Waterwraith pulls up his stone rollers, petrify it. | While in the Piklopedia, press the "qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm" button immediately upon selecting the Waterwraith to petrify its roller.

Yet another glitch happens when the Waterwraith is hit with a Purple Pikmin while running.

The cause of this glitch is unknown, but the effects are strange. When both Waterwraith have had their rollers taken away, they will sometimes only frantically run away from Olimar, and will casually walk past and even stop right in front of him, as if they don't even notice him. They can still be attacked, though... | ||
