It has a rather colorful appearance, have a red body with a vibrant blue stripe along the length of either side of it, a white underbelly, large, black eyes, orange fins, white lips, and an elongated, blue mouth containing several sharp teeth.

In Hey! Pikmin 2
Tropical Blinnows appear in Hey! Pikmin 2 as enemies alongside Puckering Blinnows, their smaller relatives.

In Pikmin Eco
The Tropical Blinnow is a slightly larger relative of the Puckering Blinnow found in Pikmin Eco. They are a fully aquatic species, and as such are unable to be found anywhere on land. They move slowly, but once leaders or their Pikmin are in range, they will rush forward with their mouths wide open, snapping and eating any Pikmin that get caught in their way. They can be defeated fairly quickly with a swarm of Blue Pikmin.

In-game notes

 * "This specialized species is an ambush predator and lies in wait to ambush smaller aquatic creatures rather than swiftly swimming after prey. This subspecies has only recently evolved from a freshwater blinnow to life out in the coastal shallows, its colorful shimmering scales used as camouflage in the shallow rock pools where it lives. Males of the species have brighter scales than females, used for courtship to attract mates but leaves them more noticeable to larger predators."

In Pikmin: Wide World
The Tropical Blinnow appears in Pikmin: Wide World as a larger, more dangerous member of the elips family.

Swims idly in water, exploring the entire body, in groups of three to five individuals. Can grab up to four Pikmin in its massive, toothed jaws, swimming a distance away to devour them all at once before returning for more. Releases any Pikmin in its grip when hit, rushing away before rushing back to bite its attackers as a counterattack. May also ram into its attackers to temporarily incapacitate them. Will only jump out of water if a considerable amount of Pikmin are above it, and cannot jump far out of water. Will refuse to enter shallows unless forced to.
