Needle Spectralid

The Needle Spectralid is a butterfly-like creature in Pikmin Eco, and only known aggressive Spectralid found in the game, and second all together after its relative, the Electric Spectralid. They have black skin with a white spot on their stomachs, and highly detailed eye markings along their wings; a set of eyes on the upper, and lower wing, with yellow markings along the upper wings. They also have a long needle-like proboscis, hence their name.

Compared to other Spectralids, it is highly Aggressive and predatory in nature. They flutter around similarly to other Flutterbie species, but when a small prey item comes close they will aim and fly down at them, attempting to stab their prey and carry them around for a bit before swallowing them.
