The '''Sputtlefish''' ({{j|カワスミ|Kawa Sumi|River Cuttlefish}}) is a squid-like enemy with a flower-like protrusion atop its head, found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. These enemies can only be found underwater. They swim casually when not threatened, but upon the arrival of Pikmin, they will take an upright posture and swim towards them. They can lash out on Pikmin with their tentacles, grabbing and eating them one at a time. If attacked, one will release ink which causes Pikmin to panic for some time until they are whistled and swim away. The Sputtlefish can also gradually heal if left alone once attacked.

|common    = Sputtlefish. The name is based off of "spurt" – since it squirts ink to defend itself – and {{w|cuttlefish}}, a real-life animal that it resembles. A cuttlefish has two tentacles and a soft body, much like the Sputtlefish. The "sputtle" part of the name could also be based off of the real life {{w|sputtle}}, an excretion produced by insects that functions as a paralytic defense.

|scientific = Its scientific name is ''Pseudocephalopoda florascens''. ''Pseudocephalopoda'' comes from ''pseudo'' and ''{{w|cephalopod}}''. ''Florascens'' comes from ''florescence'', a term used for flowers in the process of blooming. This describes its fins, as they resemble the petals of a blooming flower.
