Spornet

$$

The Spornet is a small fuzzbuzz that carries a relatively large puffball. Spornets fly along an established route but will deviate from it so long as they see Pikmin or leaders, which it hovers above and shakes the puffball to release toxic spores onto them.

In Pikmin: Decayed Leaf
The Spornet is a returning enemy in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The creature retains its original appearance from. It flies around in the air, usually in a set path. If it ends up flying over Pikmin or leaders, it will stop and shake its abdomen, releasing a cloud of toxic spores that descend onto them and poison them. Only White Pikmin are immune to the poison, but any Pikmin type can kill the creature if thrown onto it. It only takes one Pikmin to kill it. However, it flies high enough to not be hit by any Pikmin but Yellow Pikmin and Winged Pikmin. When it performs its attack, it will descend slightly, letting other types have the chance to hit it.
