Some | Some types of [[Enemy|enemies]] are larger or stronger than most, and appear less frequently, often in prominent places. These are known as '''bosses''' ({{j|巨大生物|Kyodai Seibutsu|Huge Creature}}), and normally only one or two of each type appear in the entire game. Given that battles against them are usually more complex, the rewards tend to be more significant, such as a large number of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] seeds, [[Poko]]s, or an important story-related item. | ||
Through each game, the definition of a "boss" has become progressively clearer. In {{p1}} the game seldom makes a distinction between a boss and a regular enemy. In {{p2}}, bosses are given different slots on the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] and a specific [[music]]al theme, with some even having unique ones. In {{p3}}, bosses are clearly identified as such by the game itself{{cite quote|Boss enemies you hurt will maintain their damage!
