In Pikmin: Return
Twilight Spectralids appear in Pikmin: Return. They fly about and produce the same noises as other spectralids, but they will glow pink when in a cave, or outside near sunset. Twilight Spectralids take two hits from Pikmin to defeat, and when they are hit, they aggressively squeal and flap their wings harder to shower attackers below them in poisonous powder that can endanger and kill all Pikmin except White Pikmin. Upon death, a cloud of poison dust will burst from the Twilight Spectralid as its body falls to the ground. It can be brought back to the Onion for five seeds if it is given to the Winged Pikmin, and it will give three seeds to any other color. A larger, more dangerous variant of this enemy is known as the Greater Twilight Spectralid.

In Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator
In Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator, Twilight Spectralids are similar to Unmarked Spectralids, though discovering a fray of them is much more unpleasant. They swoop down to swarm Pikmin, eating those unprotected. They are just as frail as Unmarked Spectralids, meaning even a single thrown Pikmin is sufficient in killing them. Because of their behavior, Twilight Spectralids are more dangerous when a leader and their Pikmin are preoccupied with another enemy.
