'''Scornets''' ({{j|ハチスズメ|Hachisuzume|Hummingbird}}) are tiny hornet-like cone-shaped creatures in {{p3}} that are lead by the [[Scornet Maestro]].

These enemies are capable of making coordinated formations, and can capture and eventually kill [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] by picking them up and then flying around the [[Scornet Maestro]]. These Pikmin can be freed by having Pikmin thrown at the Scornet. If a captured Pikmin is not freed, over time it will be carried away and lost. The first swarm of about 30 individuals appears just after a [[lily pad]] river ride. When found alone, these creatures as much less uniform and easier to defeat. The only other swarm found is during the [[Scornet Maestro]] boss fight, and use three different attacks: the cone, rectangle, and circle formation strikes. In [[Mission Mode]], a group of 30 Scornets are present in [[Twilight River Remix]].

Use a large squad of Winged Pikmin to quickly clear out a Scornet Swarm. Gather your Pikmin each time the Scornets move into formation, then resume your attacks when the enemies separate. If any of your Pikmin are skewered by a Scornet, use your Winged Pikmin to defeat the enemy before the skewered Pikmin expires.}}

"Scornet" is a play on the word "{{w|hornet}}", although the origin of the other part of the word is debatable. It is possible that it stands for "scorn" (which means "to treat with dislike") or "score", particularly in the sense of a {{w|Sheet music|musical score}}, because of the [[Scornet Maestro]]. This creature's Japanese name is {{j|ハチスズメ|Hachisuzume}}, which literally translates to {{w|hummingbird}}. Internally, it is known as <code>mure</code>, or {{j|むれ|mure|swarm|f=tp}}, referring to how they work in swarms.
