Skyhopper family

The skyhopper family consists of blob-like creatures that utilize hazards to defend themselves.

Crimson Skyhopper
The Crimson Skyhopper is a member of the skyhopper family, a family of small blob-like creatures that utilize hazards to defend themselves. This creature, in particular, sets its attackers ablaze using fire. Like other skyhoppers, the Crimson Skyhopper lures nearby enemies to it and keeps them distracted until Pikmin or a leader come near, where the creature will lure the enemy or enemies to them.

Golden Skyhopper
Golden Skyhoppers are little blob-like creatures that release a surge of electricity when threatened. They are incredibly easy to kill, requiring a few hits from a Pikmin or a single hit from a leader, but their small size and agility may make it a difficult task.

Lapis Lazuli Skyhopper
Lapis Lazuli Skyhoppers are small creatures that resemble blue blobs. They constantly hop around a small area, blowing bubbles and squirting water when harmed. As they jump around, they may intentionally lure enemies to them and keep them distracted until a larger danger should come near, such as a group of Pikmin, where they will lead the enemy over to the Pikmin. They may also lead nearby Pikmin into hazards or harmful obstacles, often killing themselves in the process.
