Template:Infobox Enemy The Mockiwi is an enemy in Hey! Pikmin. It is a large, yellow, bird-like believed to have evolved from a flying creature, but lost its wings later on, being with a body resembling that of a grub-dog. It has a large, flat beak, a yellow body with a paler yellow face, and small vestigial wings. It wanders around a small area, attacking any potential prey that comes into view. When not provoked, it sniffs the ground searching for food and clucks in a manner similar to a chicken. It is the most iconic enemy in Hey! Pikmin, being present in promotional art, and on the game's box and title screen.

The Mockiwi are aggressive creatures that will attack Pikmin on sight. They mainly patrol a set path, making clucking sounds as they move about. When they spot Pikmin or Captain Olimar, they will give chase. They can also be found sleeping, and will begin to patrol once they have been awakened. Mockiwi can also emerge from holes in walls. These Mockiwi will continue to appear after the previous is killed. Mockiwi cannot swim and will drown if they fall into water. Mockiwi will not follow the player should they climb onto a ledge, despite seemingly being tall enough to scale most ledges. They will instead watch the player, screech and snarl, and then walk away. Mockiwi may be large, but they can easily be taken out with any Pikmin type: simply throw Pikmin onto their backs to kill them. Mockiwi drop 2 Sparklium upon death.

Pikmin Z

Template:Infobox Enemy The Mockiwi is an enemy that appears within Pikmin Z, but only in the PC version of the game, much like the other Mockiwi species.

diet: small animals
predators: Spiked Mockiwi

The standard species for the group, the Mockiwi is a bird-like creature found only on Aves Isle in Pikmin Z, that once could fly but had evolved to fill in the niche of the Bulborb predators. It's behavior mirrors that of a Bulborb, and ways to defeat one mirror one as well. It does hunt down a number of prey items, but it does get hunted down by a Spiked Mockiwi.
