'''Passive regeneration''' is when an enemy's health is always recovering, regardless of what the creature is doing. In most cases, the regeneration mechanic is simply to encourage the player to kill an enemy when it's attacked, and to not retreat, or else its health might be recovered on the next battle, and all the hard work will be lost. In others, it's to encourage the player to use a large number of Pikmin to attack, as a smaller number might have a hard time countering the regeneration.
