Enemy articles should have at least the following sections, and in the order listed.


==Opening paragraphs==
==Opening paragraphs==
The opening to the article does not have a section, and explains what the enemy is in general. An [[Template:Infobox enemy|infobox]] must also be present to the right; the "attacks" section should refer to the enemy in the second person (i.e. "Eat Pikmin" instead "Eats Pikmin"). This section should also contain a brief explanation of the creature's appearance, with one of the most important aspects to point out being its size in comparison to leaders and Pikmin. If it makes sense, its relation to other members of its family should be mentioned (like how the [[Burrowing Snagret]] is more common than the [[Pileated Snagret]]). In this paragraph, avoid describing the enemy by comparing it to a different one (e.g. explaining the [[Orange Bulborb]] by only listing the differences with the [[Red Bulborb]]). If the enemy drops something important upon its defeat in [[story mode]], then it should be mentioned.

Simply a section with this name and the inclusion of {{tem|p1 enemy technical}}, {{tem|p2 enemy technical}}, and/or {{tem|p3 enemy technical}}. There shouldn't be a sub-section for each game, but there should be a sub-section for each object that also counts as an enemy (e.g. the [[Hermit Crawmad]]'s nest in ''Pikmin 2'').
