The Crested Mockiwi is an enemy exclusive to Hey! Pikmin. It resembles a normal Mockiwi, although it is slightly larger, with a darker colored beak, pink face, purple body and ,as it's name would suggest, a large magenta crest on it's upper body. It's crest does not serve any obvious purpose. It acts like a normal Mockiwi, usually wandering around a set area and giving chase to any potential pray that comes near it. It has more health and moves faster than the a normal Mockiwi. It also has the ability to suddenly charge towards the player, which can be devastating should the it catch the player off guard. | |||

It is a large, birdlike creature, resembling a parrot or flamingo, with bright a bright pink body, a pale face, long brown legs with pink feathery joints and many smaller green and yellow feathers decorating it's body. It will not take damage if hit in the legs, and must instead be defeated by attacking it's joints, which will cause it to lean over, exposing it's body. It should be noted that it's beak is more pointed than the flat beaks of most mockiwi. | |||

Naming
The family's name is likely derived from the words "Mock" and "Kiwi", likely referring to their birdlike appearance. This name may also suggest that they are not, in fact, birds, despite the notable resemblance. The Japanese name, マッキー?, seems entirely made up, but sounds similar to the English name. In the family's scientific name, the genus Pseudoactinia would imply that they are imitations of mollusks of some kind, with "Pseudo" meaning not genuine, and "Actinia" referring to a real world genus of sea anemone.
