Actually the Smokey Progg resembles a frog thing that just emits deadly gas. Olimar guesses that the Waterwraith is just a halutionation, but this is more debatable. But still, I don\'t think the SP is an eldritch abomination, even if its appearance says otherwise.


* NightmareFuel: Pretty much all of the bosses and mini-bosses, but special mention goes to the Smoky Progg and the Waterwraith, [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]] from the first and second game respectively.

**For North Americans, the fact that after ''three years'' (likely due to copyright issues regarding the real life products in the game) the Wii revision of ''Pikmin 2'' is finally going to be released in June 2012 for only $20!

* TheWoobie: The freaking MAN-AT-LEGS, believe it or not! Yep, that creepy mechanical spider that ''blasts your Pikmin to oblivion with a gun''. How? According to its journal entry, the Man-at-Legs has no need for the gun since it has no natural enemies, leading to the rumor that the ''gun controls the creature''! Let's look at it from the Man-at-Legs' point of view... imagine if you had a gun attached to you that killed everything around you that moved, and you were targeted by a giant swarm of insects for reasons beyond your control.

* GoodBadBugs: In Pikmin 2, if you find a drop of spray (red or purple), it is possible to get 2 doses out of one drop by getting both your captains close to the droplet, and pushing the inactive captain with the active captain. The inactive captain will start to collect it, and if you get the active captain to start collecting it as well, you will get 2 doses of spray instead of one.
