The '''Waterwraith''' ({{j|アメボウズ|Ame Bouzu|Rain Monk}}) is a boss from ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', found in all sublevels of the [[Submerged Castle]] and all sublevels of the [[Engulfed Castle]], respectively. | The '''Waterwraith''' ({{j|アメボウズ|Ame Bouzu|Rain Monk}}) is a boss from ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', found in all sublevels of the [[Submerged Castle]] and all sublevels of the [[Engulfed Castle]], respectively. | ||

Since Purple Pikmin are only obtainable in both cave's final floors, the Waterwraith is completely invincible and immune to attacks in the first four sublevels. Once defeated in the Engulfed Castle, it will not respawn in any sublevel, replaced in the final encounter with a swarm of [[mitite]]s. | ||
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. As a matter of fact, its scientific name is ''Amphibio sapiens'', which is similar to the human's scientific name: ''Homo sapiens''. The [[Hocotate ship]] notes that although it can be seen, its sensors somehow detect nothing, leading to the conclusion that the Waterwraith's physical form is anchored in another dimension. It is one of the most dangerous [[Enemy|enemies]], as it can instantly kill [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] by just rolling over them, and cannot be deterred or defeated until the final floor. However, it does not appear immediately, instead giving the player a five minute period before appearing | 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 Waterwraith is one of the few bosses in ''Pikmin 2'' which has its own background [[music]], along with the [[Titan Dweevil]] and the [[Giant Breadbug]]. In the Submerged Castle, when it appears, [[Music in Pikmin 2#Waterwraith attacks|its own theme]] plays. When it is fought in the last sublevel, the [[Music in Pikmin 2#Common boss battle|normal boss music]] plays, and when it has no rollers, a special, crazy, funky lighthearted [[Music in Pikmin 2#Waterwraith vulnerable|version of the boss music]] plays. | The Waterwraith is one of the few bosses in ''Pikmin 2'' which has its own background [[music]], along with the [[Titan Dweevil]] and the [[Giant Breadbug]].

The Waterwraith | The Waterwraith only appears a few time outside of its caves. In ''Pikmin 2'''s [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], two Waterwraiths will spawn in the [[Bully Den]] when the seconds counter falls to 270, leaving only 30 seconds for preparation. In ''Pikmin 4'', one can be found in the final story of the [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]], [[Trial of the Sage Leaf#Final Story: The Purple Key|The Purple Key]]. And, much like Bully Den, two will spawn immediately in Sublevel 16 of [[Cavern for a King]]. These are, however, intended to be fought with Purple Pikmin. | ||
