Notes

Alph

Structural flaw: photosensitivity
Weight: unknown

I've never seen a substance that completely dissipated under bright light before. Is it because it's a newborn and not yet fully formed? The front legs and wings are still a work in progress, but they make up for that with numbers. If you ever see something in a dark cave that looks like an egg, my advice is to destroy it while you still can.

Brittany

They're so cute when they're young! How can you say no to those little chirpy noises and big, wet eyes? Shame they grow into something so awful. It makes me wonder what the captain was like in his youth.

Charlie

This timid little guy was the first wild creature I met on this planet. I can't blame him for being scared, though. I freaked out a little when I saw those glowing mushrooms! Wait, no, forget that. How do you erase stuff on here?

Louie

Perfect ingredient for hot pot night! Add to the broth while no one's looking for best results.

Phosbat
Tectupervus pteromys
Aerodentia family

This infant stage of the vehemoth phosbat has underdeveloped wings and cannot yet fly. It is sciophilous from birth to the point where even the low light of a common glowcap or a lightbulb will cause it to vaporize. The chromatophore excretions that the adult phosbat uses for camouflage are overwhelming to its fragile, infant form and cause apoptosis in excessive amounts. My own lamp does not trigger this reaction, possibly because its light is the wrong wavelength.

Phosbats aren't particularly strong, but they tend to appear in large groups. These creatures are very sensitive to light: activate nearby Glowcaps or Light Bulbs to defeat any Phosbats caught in the resulting glow. If no light source is available, toss Pikmin onto individual Phosbats until the area is clear.
