The Nectarous Dandelfly is a harmless enemy in Pikmin 3 that acts as a replacment for the Honeywisp. It resembles a large dragonfly-like creature with a segmented body resembling that of a catterpillar or honeypot ant, and has the face of a butterfly with its proboscis.

The Nectarous Dandelfly drifts carelessly around, not minding enemies or nearby Pikmin. If a Pikmin lands a direct hit on one of its hind segments, the segment will collapse into puddles of Nectar, the number of doses range from one to five depending on where you land your Pikmin, resulting in enough to flower around 10 to 50 Pikmin with one encounter. After its nectar has been stolen, it will swiftly fly away.

Trivia

  • The Nectarous Dandelfly was the very first new Pikmin 3 enemy ever seen, since it was seen in the first slide of the E3 2012 presentation.
  • The Nectarous Dandelfly emits an echoing chirp-like noise when nearby.
  • The body of the Nectarous Dandelfly resembles that of the Donkey Kong Country Returns boss Mangoruby.
