Puddle Alcoves

Puddle Alcoves is one of the few dens found in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The small den is the first den to be encountered in the game; being located in the Enchanted Shore. The den is small and average; being filled with a few tropical and aquatic enemies; and a few treasures. There is no boss found in this den, like most dens. The small den is found near a few puddles of water; with the den itself being on a small piece of sandy land above the puddles. A few flora can be found sticking around the den.

How to reach
"What’s this? This cave seems to be very small, and filled scarcely with enemies and treasure.. strange. Although it is somewhat a cave, I will give it a different classification; dens. This den seems to teeming with tropical life! Be careful, Olimar.."
