Notes

Alph

Structural flaw: weak hide
Weight: 1

These buzzing swarms are rare but dangerous. Normal Pikmin aren't built to handle these insects. They'll just get carried off. Use Winged Pikmin instead.

Brittany

If only I could whistle just the right tune or pitch, I bet I could get them to carry me around this planet. I'd only need one, but I'm sure it would take a lot more to get Alph or the captain airborne.

Charlie

These swarms of tiny terrors are well organized. Then again, so are we! I'll put my leadership skills to the test against their numbers any day! Pikmin, fall out!

Louie

Roast over a low fire until golden brown. Add a pinch of salt and set out as an appetizer or perhaps as a simple, aromatic centerpiece.

Scornet
Spourgitis advenus
Huntinpeck family

These highly social insects always travel in groups. Each of them has a unique role in the colony. This type is a small, though still adult, worker female. Rather than lay eggs, they spend their lives carrying out the queen's will. In response to their queen's sonic commands, they move in unison as if they were a single entity. To see them dance through the air is a sight to behold, but don't look too long. Their stingers are still deadly.

Scornets are flying creatures that congregate in large swarms. When Scornets attack, they move into a tight formation and fly toward their enemies. Any Pikmin unfortunate enough to be skewered by a Scornet will be carried around the area until they succumb to their injuries.

Use a large squad of Winged Pikmin to quickly clear out a Scornet Swarm. Gather your Pikmin each time the Scornets move into formation, then resume your attacks when the enemies separate. If any of your Pikmin are skewered by a Scornet, use your Winged Pikmin to defeat the enemy before the skewered Pikmin expires.
