Black Spectralid

Black Spectralids are the rarest variety of flutterbie in Pikmin X: Deep Freeze and are recognizable by their black and purple sheen. Like other spectralids, they rest on various flat surfaces and fly away when approached, but they have a bit more edge to them in that they will scatter a cloud of scales around themselves when taking off. Pikmin that get covered in a Black Spectralid's scales will flail around in a panic but will come to their senses within a few seconds, giving the Black Spectralid plenty of time to fly away to safety.

It is highly recommended to sneak up on these creatures and attack from a distance, as they are quickly defeated once a Pikmin is thrown on them. The reward for getting the jump on a Black Spectralid is a drop of ultra-bitter spray.
