The Muggonfly is a collosal dragon-like scarpanid introduced in ''[[Hey! Pikmin]]'' . It resembles a large Coppeler with a long tail that it uses to carry food back to it's den. It can neither hurt nor be hurt by the player, but it's food pouches can be destroyed and raided. It is very rare, appearing only once in the entire game, and is the only member of its family that is unable to kill the player and/or pikmin. | |||

"Coppeler" is likley a combination of "Copter" and "Proppeler", in reference to the creatures helecopter-like wings. Their scientific names use the genus name ''Scarpanida'', which has no meaning, but reflects the family name. | Many members of this family have the word "Snitchbug" in their name, which is a combination of "snitch" and "bug"; to "snitch" means "to catch", in this context.
