Members
Arid Canyonclops
- Main article: Arid Canyonclops
The Arid Canyonclops is a desert-dwelling species of mireclops that has spiny hooves. Rock Pikmin can attack these hooves whereas others cannot. The Arid Canyonclops can also spew water all around itself as a defense mechanism.
Fandangled Isleclops
- Main article: Fandangled Isleclops
The Fandangled Isleclops is a small, tropical mireclops that isn't much larger than a typical dwarf bulborb. Unlike other members of its family, the Fandangled Isleclops is always found awake and moving around, typically spiraling in circles with others of its kind, moving in a circular formation. A Fandangled Isleclops has sand and grass covering its body, and its head is a brilliant color of yellow.
Frosted Arcticlops
- Main article: Frosted Arcticlops
The Frosted Arcticlops prefers frigid environments. Its gray, fleshy hooves are protected by a layer of ice, which must be shattered using Rock Pikmin. Its purple head is also protected by a large mound of ice. The snow and ice on its body can chill and eventually freeze leaders and Pikmin that touch it for extended periods of time.
Quaggled Mireclops
- Main article: Quaggled Mireclops
The Quaggled Mireclops is a gargantuan member of the mireclops family. They inhabit locations that are rich in mud, and their vulnerable, fruit-like head is often protected by what is called a Mireclops crystal, which makes Rock Pikmin essential for a fight against it.
Quaglet
- Main article: Quaglet
A Quaglet is a smaller version of the Quaggled Mireclops, usually only seen with their small crystals peeking out of the floor, when alerted, they spring up out of the floor and attempt to crush small amounts of Pikmin with their body. Their crystals are a giant weak point and Rock Pikmin are great ways of dealing with them.
Ridge Mounticlops
- Main article: Ridge Mounticlops
The Ridge Mounticlops is found at the tops of mountains. It is large and quite tall, and has a spiraling path up to it's bulb, which is teal at the bottom and more mintish at the top, with a gradient in the middle. It's path occasionally has small divots in the wall, similar to the path to get the zest bomb from the Distant Tundra in Pikmin 3, but less extreme. It protects itself with icy walls and a tongue that it can not only rotate 720 degrees, but 1080 degrees in an upwards spiral from the bottom of the spiral path leading from the base of it up to it's bulb, which is covered in both Ice and Crystal. The foliage on its bulb is dark bluish teal.
Waterlogged Bayouclops
- Main article: Waterlogged Bayouclops
The Waterlogged Bayouclops prefers to live in flooded, marsh-like environments. It bears a striking resemblance to the Quaggled Mireclops in size and appearance, but it has an overall darker, duller coloration as well as a blue head. A Waterlogged Bayouclops must usually be fought using a Pikmin type that can somehow navigate around bodies of water, such as Blue Pikmin or Winged Pikmin.
