The Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat is an enemy in ''Pikmin 2''. They resemble large, blue, floating jellyfish with yellow spots that float through the air. They attack the Pikmin by inhaling them and trapping them inside. The Pikmin will then be digested one by one over considerably long periods of time. Purple Pikmin will automatically make this creature fall due to their weight. They are also good for defeating it, as stunning it will prevent it from getting back into air. When defeated, all undigested Pikmin will be recovered. | The Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat is an enemy in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''.

This family's name, and the name of the creatures in it, is a portmanteau of "{{w|jellyfish}}" and "float". The term "Spotted" in the members's names refers to the spots on their bodies. Their Japanese common names use the word {{j|マンマン|Manman}}, which has no meaning, but is pronounced similarly to {{j|マンコ|manko}}, a slang term used to refer to a woman's external genitals. In addition, the Greater Spotted Jellyfloat's ''Japanese name'' refers to {{j|ホト|hoto}}, an archaic term that also refers to the same body area. This connection may be due to the creatures, with the antennae, being similar to a {{w|uterus}} and the {{w|ovary|ovaries}}, even if those are internal body parts. | This family's name, and the name of the creatures in it, is a portmanteau of "{{w|jellyfish}}" and "float".
