Airborne Mook: They are constantly airborne, and never land.Unique Enemy: In 3, the only place that Red Spectralids are set to spawn is the corpse of the Quaggled Mireclops in the Garden of Hope every other Spectralid is of the white or yellow varieties.Ī truly weird creature, it won't attack or really interact with your Pikmin at all, but attacking it can yield you a drop of nectar (in Pikmin) or an egg (in Pikmin 2) that can contain nectar, sprays, or Mitites.Palette Swap: In all their appearances, the variants of spectralids are physically identical to each other in everything save color (and, in Pikmin 3, size, number and arrangement of their black spots).Red Spectralids are definitely this in the third game, always giving you a spicy spray if you can kill them, and are much rarer than the yellow variety. Metal Slime: Killing them nets you nectars and sprays, but if you're not quick, they'll flutter away.Their chief purpose gameplay-wise is to be living scenery and to be killed as a source of nectar or ultra-spicy spray (or in the white ones' case, a single Pikmin seed). They have no way to harm Pikmin directly or indirectly. In Pikmin 3, white drops nothing, yellow always drops nectar, and red always drops Ultra Spicy Spray.


The Ghost: They're never actually seen in the game, only alluded to by the President's messages.The fact that they're right next door to each other is how the President managed to accidentally go to them. Evil Counterpart: Presumably to Happy Hocotate Savings & Loans.That debt will sit pretty at 10,000 Pokos no matter how long you take to pay it back.

Even Evil Has Standards: They're willing to hunt down, kidnap and even kill the President in order to get their money from him or make him pay for stiffing them, but they'll never ratchet up the debt by charging interest.Card-Carrying Villain: That title there isn't just something the fandom calls them, it's their company name.Arc Villain: Can be considered the main villain of the first portion of the second game, despite being The Ghost.They never actually appear in the game, though letters from the President indicate less than scrupulous debt collection practices. The President took out a loan with them and it should be noted that he did so inadvertently he somehow went there by accident instead of Happy Hocotate Savings and Loan, which was right next door and lacks the means to pay it back, forcing Olimar and Louie to go to PNF-404 and gather treasure to pay off the debt.
