The opening to the article does not have a section, and explains what the enemy is in general. An [[Template:Infobox enemy|infobox]] must also be present to the right; the "attacks" section should refer to the enemy in the second person (i.e. "Eat Pikmin" instead "Eats Pikmin"). This section should also contain a brief explanation of the creature's appearance, with one of the most important aspects to point out being its size in comparison to leaders and Pikmin. If it makes sense, its relation to other members of its family should be mentioned (like how the [[Burrowing Snagret]] is more common than the [[Pileated Snagret]]). In this paragraph, avoid describing the enemy by comparing it to a different one (e.g. explaining the [[Orange Bulborb]] by only listing the differences with the [[Red Bulborb]]). | The opening to the article does not have a section, and explains what the enemy is in general.

A gallery with images of the enemy, preferably including concept art and one or two "extra" images, such as [[Prerelease information|prototype screenshots]]. There should be enough images to show the creature in all interesting angles; i.e. if there are only screenshots of the creature facing sideways, it is not enough. If possible, there should be one very high quality image, with the creature up close, so that details can be seen better – emulators like Dolphin can be tweaked to maximize the output image's quality.
