* {{Planimal}}: Peckish Aristocrabs are crustaceans that apparently grow in the ground like onions before sprouting as Artistocrab Offspring, causing Olimar to theorize that they may be closely related to Ambuloradices like Pikmin.

Added DiffLines:

* ArtificialBrilliance: They're shockingly good at reacting to your attacks. They'll raise their claws up like shields to block incoming Pikmin being thrown at them, elevate their bodies upwards to dodge incoming Pikmin charging at them, and will shake off Pikmin that are attacking them and burp out bubbles everywhere, trapping the Pikmin in them.

''Spourgitis adventus''

-> '''Appears In:''' ''Pikmin 3''

Scornets are small, bee-like enemies that appear in large numbers in ''Pikmin 3''. Due to often flying out of range of even Yellow Pikmin, Winged Pikmin are ''highly'' recommended if you encounter them.

Added DiffLines:

* ArmlessBiped: A bit of an odd example: it appears to be an insect, meaning it would normally have ''six'' legs. However, the only limbs it has are its hind pair of legs, with the two pairs of anterior legs nowhere to be seen.
* BoulderBludgeon: It picks up and flips chunks of crystal.
* MisguidedMissile: If you stand very close to the Skutterchuck, it is possible to trick it into crushing itself with its own crystal. In areas where you can find two of them, you can trick them into smashing their crystals together (and destroy them) or, with good timing, trick them into crushing each other.
* OneHitKill: Breaking the crystal it's holding will stun it briefly, and another Pikmin throw will deplete its health in one hit if it's stunned. Throwing a Rock Pikmin at it will do both with the same hit.
* ShieldBearingMook: As long as it carries a crystal, it can't be directly attacked except by throwing Rock Pikmin.

''Platylepas ascendii''
-> '''Appears In:''' ''Hey! Pikmin''
What looks to be a flat slab of stone covered in moss is actually a living creature. When something walks onto its back, it will leap straight up into the air.
----
* CanisLatinicus: Its scientific name, Ascendii, is a pseudo-Latinization of "ascend", referring to its high jumping ability.
* InvincibleMinorMook: Since they're used as platforms to reach new areas, it can't be attacked.

A relative of the Scornet. They usually come in pairs and will hover offscreen until Olimar or his Pikmin come within pecking range.
----
* AirborneMook: They hover about and never land.
* BeakAttack: They will fly down to jab you with their beaks.
* CutenessProximity: Olimar thinks they're adorable and wants to take one as a pet, if the insect-hating S.S. Dolphin II would ever let him.

!In General
* ArmlessBiped: Its long, stick-thin legs are its only limbs.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Not from Rock Pikmin, though. Interestingly, while Rock Pikmin are needed to break the shell, they're ill-suited for attacking the Crushblat proper; their impact deals less damage than other Pikmin clinging to it.
* WaddlingHead: Their bodies consist of a large head, with eyes and a mouth taking up the entire front of that, and a pair of thin, spindly legs sprouting from where the neck would normally go.

Added DiffLines:

* BossInMookClothing: Shares a lot of the characteristics of the old minibosses in ''Pikmin''. It's encountered in an out-of-the-way area, doesn't even get the normal mini-boss music like the Shaggy Long Legs or Bugeyed Crawmad, and requires a specific Pikmin (Rock Pikmin) to beat. On top of that, if you're not careful, this guy can do some serious damage to your Pikmin squad if it gets a good hit in.
* BrokenArmorBossBattle: It's entirely encased in a solid shell of thick, bumpy crystal that makes it completely impervious to attack unless you destroy it with bomb-rocks or Rock Pikmin.
* DishingOutDirt: According to the Piklopedia its shield is made from silica it absorbs.
* TurnsRed: Breaking the whole crystal shield reduces its defense, but makes it more aggressive and causes its flopping to cover a wider radius.
* UniqueEnemy: A secret monster found in a watery cave of the Tropical Wilds. Its location means that you must use Slate Candypop Buds to create Rock Pikmin, since they can't cross the water.

A smaller, cave-dwelling relative of the Calcified Crushblat. It will aggressively try to crush you Pikmin with its crystal armor, at least until its armor breaks.
----
* MiniMook: A smaller Calcified Crushblat.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Once its armor is broken, it will attempt to flee. Unfortunately for it, it can only go as far as its programmed territory.
* UseYourHead: Since it's all head, it's main mode of attack is to swing forward and try to crush your Pikmin against its armor.
