Some enemies contain important items like [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s, or [[fruit]]s, which they drop when defeated; these will still be dropped even if the creature was petrified. Most downed enemies will also safely release any Pikmin in their grasp, regardless of any apparently fatal damage caused when the Pikmin was trapped (like the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]]'s impalement). This allows otherwise doomed Pikmin to be saved. | Some enemies contain important items like [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s, or [[fruit]]s, which they drop when defeated; these will still be dropped even if the creature was petrified.

It is unconfirmed how most of the enemies are named, but it is known in most games that Olimar names them, as he bases the [[Bulborb]]'s name after his dog, [[Bulbie]]. The Nintendo Power Player's Guide for ''Pikmin'' and the Prima Guide for ''New Play Control! Pikmin'' both confirm that Olimar named every enemy from ''Pikmin''. {{p3}} is more confusing, however, since the names of enemies are only seen through [[lock-on|locking-on]]. It is possible the Koppaites name them immediately after they see each enemy, but its more likely the lock-on is just for the player and is not what the Koppaites actually see. For repeating enemies, it could be the [[KopPad]] has the names Olimar created stored inside it, like in the [[Insect Condo]]'s case.{{cite quote|{{notes:Insect Condo/brittanyus}}|[[Brittany]]|Brittany's notes on the [[Insect Condo]]}} | It is unconfirmed how most of the enemies are named, but it is known in most games that Olimar names them, as he bases the [[Bulborb]]'s name after his dog, [[Bulbie]].

Some creatures keep a bond with others.

[[Dwarf Bulborb]]s | Some creatures keep a bond with others. To maximize the chances of survival, some enemies can be seen next to others, normally of their own species, and oftentimes interacting with them when a fight for survival is taking place. [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s and [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s, for example, are often observed clustering around a leader who is either [[Spotty Bulbear|a larger member of the same species]] or [[Bulborb|an adult of the species they are mimicking]]. When under attack in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', they may scream in order to wake up their larger allies. | ||
Other creatures choose to follow a leader, normally of their own family. | Other creatures also choose to follow a leader, normally of their own family. Examples include the [[Bulbmin]], who lose all sense of control should their leader perish, the [[Scornet]]s, who obey the command of the [[Scornet Maestro]], and the [[Shearwig]]s, which can be found under the control of a [[Queen Shearwig]], and are otherwise independent. | ||

*When the player first delivers an enemy to the [[Research Pod]], a cutscene plays with the Hocotate ship complaining that it's not a treasure, although it's still good for some Pokos. However, if an enemy of this species has already been delivered to an [[Onion]] before on the current playthrough, the Research Pod will just accept the enemy like normal without a cutscene. The cutscene can later be played by delivering a new species of enemy that has never been delivered to an Onion.{{cite youtube|Y8QaqABm7dU|explaining what does and doesn't trigger the Hocotate ship's corpse complaint cutscene}} | *When the player first delivers an enemy to the [[Research Pod]], a cutscene plays with the Hocotate ship complaining that it's not a treasure, although it's still good for some Pokos.
