Driftill family

The Driftill family consists of limbless, floating organisms, capable of flight thanks to air sacs on their bodies.

Dumpuff


The Dumpuff is a small, one-eyed creature with short, stubby legs. Although harmless, it inflates a large sac on its head to not only fly, but to look more intimidating. They are so delicate that if a Pikmin is thrown at one, its sac will pop and it will drop to the ground, sometimes dropping nectar or sprays.

Poison Sidesnithe
The Poison Sidesnithe is a medium-sized enemy named for the tentacles on the sides of its body, which it can stretch out to impale and eat Pikmin that try to walk past it. Because of this and the hard shell on its back, the front of this enemy is its only weak spot, and it can also hop backward to move away from an approaching attacker, leaving a puddle of poison slime with each leap that makes getting close to its weak point a bit tougher.

Volt Driftill


The Volt Driftill slightly resembles the Dumpuff but is slightly larger and is dark blue in color. It constantly inflates and deflates the sacs lining its sides to flutter through the air, pulsing with electricity. Occasionally, a Volt Driftill will fire a concentrated bolt of lightning straight at the ground, so tread carefully.
