The Pikmin Behavior menu.

Pikmin Behavior (Pikminology in Europe) is a category from the Exploration Notes menu in Pikmin 3. It holds 30 Data Files discussing the behavior and abilities of all the Pikmin. Most of these Data Files can be found around PNF-404 just about anywhere, hidden or not, while some are automatically given to the player after completing certain tasks.

In this article, unless otherwise stated, the text provided is the same for both the US and European versions of the game. Although the category itself is called "Pikmin Behavior" in the US and "Pikminology" in Europe, any data files related to the way Pikmin behave have the word "Pikminology" on their title.
