'''Enemies''' ({{j|原生生物|Gensei Seibutsu|Primitive Creature}}) are the many | '''Enemies''' ({{j|原生生物|Gensei Seibutsu|Primitive Creature}}) are the many species present in PNF-404 that pose a hazard to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. There are many types of enemies in the {{ps}}, with varying appearances, behaviors, and levels of hostility. [[Combat]] against enemies constitutes a major part of gameplay in all {{pg}}. | ||
Enemies have varied attacks, and some take advantage of [[hazard]]s to cause damage to Pikmin who are not immune to them. Offensively, enemies either eat Pikmin or hurt them with attacks, both melee and projectile-based, and with effects that range from pushing the Pikmin off to outright killing them. A few enemies are incapable of directly killing Pikmin. | Enemies have varied attacks, and some take advantage of [[hazard]]s to cause damage to Pikmin who are not immune to them.

Some enemies contain important items like [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s, or [[fruit]]s, which they drop when defeated; these will still be dropped even if the creature was petrified. Most downed enemies will also safely release any Pikmin in their grasp, regardless of any apparently fatal damage caused when the Pikmin was trapped (like the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]]'s impalement). This allows otherwise doomed Pikmin to be saved. | Some enemies contain important items like [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s, or [[fruit]]s, which they drop when defeated; these will still be dropped even if the creature was petrified.

It is unconfirmed how the enemies are named, but it is known in most games that Olimar names them, as he bases the [[Bulborb]]'s name after his dog, [[Bulbie]]. {{p3}} is more confusing, however, since the names of enemies are only seen through [[lock-on|locking-on]]. It is possible the Koppaites name them immediately after they see each enemy, but its more likely the lock-on is just for the player and is not what the Koppaites actually see. For repeating enemies, it could be the [[KopPad]] has the names Olimar created stored inside it, like in the [[Insect Condo]]'s case.{{cite quote|{{notes:Insect Condo/brittanyus}}|[[Brittany]]|Brittany's notes on the [[Insect Condo]]}} | It is unconfirmed how most of the enemies are named, but it is known in most games that Olimar names them, as he bases the [[Bulborb]]'s name after his dog, [[Bulbie]].

[[Dwarf Bulborb]]s | 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 and [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s, for example, are often observed clustering around a leader who is either [[Spotty Bulbear|a larger member of the same species]] or [[Bulborb|an adult of the species they are mimicking]]. When under attack in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', they may scream in order to wake up their larger allies. | ||

Examples include 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]]s, which can be found under the control of a [[Queen Shearwig]], and are otherwise independent. | ||
