Its appearance is generally humanoid in shape, with the suggestion of a head, body, arms and legs, but without distinct characteristics, and with a watery, transparent body. As a matter of fact, its scientific name is amphibio sapien, which is similar to the human's scientific name: homo sapien. [[The Ship]] notes that although it can be seen, its sensors detect nothing, leading to the conclusion that the Waterwraith's physical form is anchored in another dimension. It is one of the most dangerous [[Piklopedia|enemies]], as it can kill [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] by just rolling over them once, and cannot be deterred or defeated until the final floor. The only good thing is that it does not appear immediately, instead giving the player a five minute grace period before appearing. In the Bully Den, both Waterwraiths will fall when the seconds counter falls to 270, leaving you with only 30 seconds to get settled and prepare. When encountered in the Submerged Castle, but not in the Bully Den, its music will play - music that is played only then. {{listen|filename=Waterwraith.ogg|title=A sample of the music.}}
