Byte family

The byte family consists of robotic creatures resembling computer chips.

Computer Bug
Computer Bugs appear to be animated computer chips with wires strung together into a vicious insect with glowing red eyes. It is a wandering enemy and it attacks with dangerous electrical shocks, making Yellow Pikmin particularly useful. Dweenodes frequently ride on the creature, hopping off of it to attack leaders and Pikmin they see.

Dweenode
Dweenodes are dweevil-like robots that hop off of Computer Bugs and rush at Pikmin, exploding when they reach them. The explosions they create are very small and do not kill Pikmin; instead, they knock them over and deflower them. Dweenodes eventually detonate if they do not find a target.

Malware Creature
Malware creatures can corrupt the Pikulation as well as Glitch Pikmin.

Virus Creature
Virus Creatures are malicious, blue byte chips that try to infect Pikmin.

Worm Creature
Worm Creatures are malicious, brown byte chips that try to infect Pikmin.
