Droneoid family

The Droneoid family consists of a group of creatures called Droneules: a species of spider-like creatures covered in spines. All species are able to skewer Pikmin, but Rock Pikmin are immune to this ability.

Camouflaged Droneule
The Camouflaged Droneule is a unique species that lacks numerous details of standard members of the species: no bulb, many small legs, and two narrow arms. Their body tint matches the terrain they are located on, and will eat any Pikmin caught close to it.

Corrosive Droneule
Corrosive Droneules are green-tinted Droneules with a red bulb-shaped head. It skewers Pikmin, and when it reaches half-health, it will begin to also spray acid from the underside of its body, making Green Pikmin useful for fighting one. Although Rock Pikmin cannot be impaled by the Corrosive Droneule, it can still die from the acid it utilizes.

Flaming Droneule
The Flaming Droneule is a red Impaling Droneule that sprays fire once its health is reduced to half. Its bulb is green instead of yellow.

Flying Droneule
It is a pink-tinted droneoid with two legs and two arms. Its most noteworthy features are the two transparent wings on its body. It takes ten Pikmin, or the equivalent of ten Pikmin, to ground it, but it can only be attacked as it drops down to slash at Pikmin.

Impaling Droneule
The Impaling Droneule is a quadrupedal, spider-like creature that is covered in spines. It has a large, glowing yellow bulb for a head, which is its weak point. Its body has a black, rock-like texture. It will slash at Pikmin with its two frontal appendages, impaling and killing them. Rock Pikmin are the optimal choice for defeating an Impaling Droneule, as they cannot be impaled by this beast and have high attack power. It can be harmed at any point on its body, but the bulb head takes the most damage.

Leaping Droneule
The Leaping Droneule is an identical species to the Impaling Droneule, with the exception of longer hind legs. As the name implies, it leaps at enemies and attacks them.

Lord Droneule
The Lord Roneule is a purple-skinned, giant Droneule with a crown-like crest on its bulb. During the battle against it, it will spray fire and acid, crush Pikmin with its arms, cause boulders to fall, and summon other droneules.

Soldier Droneule
Soldier Droneules are a species of Droneule capable of shooting electricity from its bulb at enemies.

Wailing Droneule
The Wailing Droneule is a small Droneule with a greyish body tint. Instead of a bulb, it has a small megaphone. When it is attacked, it will screech, attracting the attention of other enemies. It will awaken sleeping enemies, attract wandering enemies, and even cause burrowing monsters to rise from the ground!
