Any inapt Pikmin type that touches water will begin flailing at the surface of the water. They will eventually stop and drown, resulting in a Pikmin death. Pikmin in this state might be saved by [[Whistle|whistling]] them, which will make them slowly move towards the leader and hopefully onto land, or to have an idle Blue Pikmin nearby, as Blues are capable of [[Throw|tossing]] drowning Pikmin onto land in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.
Any inapt Pikmin type that touches water will begin flailing at the surface. They will eventually stop and drown, resulting in a Pikmin death. Pikmin in this state might be saved by having them slowly flail towards the leaders, and luring them to dry land. Pikmin in ''Pikmin 3'' will follow leaders automatically, but in the previous games, they must first be [[whistle]]d. Alternatively, if there are idle Blue Pikmin nearby, they can [[Throw|toss]] drowning Pikmin onto land in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.


Bodies of water are not the only way Pikmin can suffer from a water hazard. Some enemies have attacks that wet vulnerable Pikmin in such a way that a bubble of water forms around the top of their stem. This is enough to leave them choking and running in panic. If they're whistled in time, they will instantly return to normal, but if not, they will eventually collapse and die. These water attacks will cause damage to [[leader]]s as well, and can knock them down.
