(This section is made for enemies that reappear when entering and leaving caves in Pikmin 2 (which is exclusive to that game), not enemies that respawn in general. If that were the case, majority of enemies would be on this list. If leaving and entering the cave with the Sluker made it respawn, then it would count (and even then, it would be in its own subtopic to begin with). So yes, this is irrelevant information.) |

The [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] encounter a multitude of '''enemies''' on [[PNF-404]]. With few exceptions, these are both predators and prey, and they have varied characteristics and appearances. Defeating enemies constitutes a major part of gameplay in all [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. | The [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] encounter a multitude of '''enemies''' on [[PNF-404]].

Enemies are normally killed by Pikmin attacks, which becomes easier the more Pikmin are attacking. They can also inadvertently kill themselves by ingesting [[White Pikmin]], falling off pits, or rarely, by coming into contact with certain [[hazards]]. They can even be killed by some of the attacks of other enemies, such as the [[Armored Cannon Larva]]'s rocks, or the [[Yellow Wollywog]]'s stomp in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. | Enemies are normally killed by Pikmin attacks, which becomes easier the more Pikmin are attacking.

As threats to Pikmin, enemies can attack in a variety of ways, the most common one being eating them. They can also [[Crushing|crush]] them, kill them with a [[hazard]] they're vulnerable to, and knock them out with an explosion, among other methods. For some of these attacks, there is a cap on the number of Pikmin that can be affected by it.

For instance, in {{p}}, a [[Bulborb]] may only grab and eat three Pikmin at most with a single bite, but in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', five can fall prey to the same bite. The exception to this is the enemies in {{hp}}, which more often than not, kill Pikmin and damage Olimar by simply touching them. | ||

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 | 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, [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s, etc. are often found next to larger enemies of the same species or 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. An example is 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]], which can be found under the control of a [[Queen Shearwig]], and are otherwise independent. | Other creatures choose to follow a leader, normally of their own family.
