'''Enemies''' ({{j|原生生物|Gensei Seibutsu|Primitive Creature}}) are the many indiginous lifeforms of PNF-404 that, in general, 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''' ({{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.

[[File:Shaded Terrace P3 Bulborbs.jpg|thumb|[[Dwarf Bulborbs]] are often found congregating around a [[Bulborb]].]]
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.
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.


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.
