Mockiwi family: Difference between revisions

The '''mockiwi family''' {{j|マッキー|Makkī}} is a family of enemies found in {{hp}}. All members of this family are bird-like in appearance, with beaks, scaly looking feet, and large, round eyes. The Mockiwi family has 3 known members, all of which were introduced in, and are so far exclusive to ''Hey! Pikmin''.

The family's name is likely derived from the words "Mock" and "{{w|Kiwi}}", likely referring to their birdlike appearance. This name may also suggest that they are not, in fact, birds, despite the notable resemblance. The Japanese name, {{j|マッキー|Makkī}}, seems entirely made up, but sounds similar to the English name. In the family's scientific name, the genus ''Pseudoactinia'' would imply that they imitate sea anemones, with "Pseudo" meaning not genuine, and "Actinia" referring to a real world genus of sea anemone, although that similarity is probably just coincidental.
