Hocotatians bare multiple resemblances to humans, including expressing human-like emotions. Physically, Hocotatians have a humanoid shape, the main differences being a larger head-to-body ratio, much larger noses, and different eyes, as explained in the next paragraph. Their respiratory system also works differently from humans. While oxygen is one of the keys to human survival, it is incredibly toxic

The shape of Hocotatian eyes changes to show emotions and to accommodate their normally-invisible eyebrows. In a "neutral" state, the pupil is heavily dilated and stretched horizontally, giving their eyes the appearance of being entirely black, which leads some people to think they are actually closed. When surprised, the Hocotatian's pupils shrink and expose their irises, making them more closely resemble humans' eyes. This can be seen most notably with Louie in some [[cutscenes]] in {{p2}}: in the opening cutscene, when Louie sees the [[Shizakipiki Soda|souvenir]] and hears the [[Hocotate ship|ship]]'s analysis, as well as in the cutscene where he sees the first [[Red Pikmin]] sprout, his "normal" eyes can be seen, and his eyebrows pop out too. The ''Pikmin 2'' cutscene shown after completing the debt shows the pupil expanding gradually, instead of instantly. In the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], every time Olimar is hit, his eyes can also be seen.
