The '''Waterwraith''', writes [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]], "may be the ectoplasmic incarnation of a kind of psychic phenomenon". It is found only in the [[Submerged Castle]] (all [[sublevel]]s), 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. [[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 [[Enemy|enemies]], as it can kill [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] by just rolling over them once. | The '''Waterwraith''', writes [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]], "may be the ectoplasmic incarnation of a kind of psychic phenomenon".

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 the Submerged Castle, when it appears, its own music track plays. When it is in the last Sublevel, normal boss music plays and when it has no rollers, a different kind of the normal boss music plays, which has a more positive/silly mood. | |||

When encountered, the beast falls from the sky. This will give two falling noises followed by two explosion-like sounds and then a noise like a scream underwater. Be careful when you hear this. After that, the Waterwraith will move around on its stone 'rollers'. It will chase Olimar and any Pikmin nearby, with greater focus on crushing the active Captain. It is invincible to any Pikmin assault, even if [[Ultra-Bitter Spray|petrified]], except that of [[Purple Pikmin]]. When a Purple 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 vulnerable to '''all''' Pikmin attacks. When the Wraith's [[HP|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. It drops the [[Professional Noisemaker]], a useful addition to the [[Exploration Kit]] the first time you beat it in the [[Submerged Castle]]. | When encountered, the beast falls from the sky.

Strangely, petrifying the Waterwraith makes it less vulnerable to Purple Pikmin, in which case the Pikmin must be [[throw]]n in a perfect arch for enough impact to make the creature susceptible to attack. In other words, Purples make a certain "squashing" sound when they hit an enemy or a plant; when this sound is performed, a creature may also be stunned. These effects can only occur when the Purples have a straight fall downward after they're thrown (the distance in which they fall vertically is irrelevant, as long as it exists). Finally, when all these circumstances are achieved, the Waterwraith may gain damage; this will not happen when Purples are thrown on it without the drop. | Strangely, petrifying the Waterwraith makes it less vulnerable to Purple Pikmin, in which case the Pikmin must be [[throw]]n in a perfect arch for enough impact to make the creature susceptible to attack.

In the [[Bully Den]], you will already have 25 purples, but no other type of Pikmin. Here, there are two Waterwraiths and a variety of other bugs. | In the [[Bully Den]], you will already have 25 purples, but no other type of Pikmin.
