The Nectarous Dandelfly drifts carelessly around, blissfully unaware of anything around it. If a Pikmin touches on one of its hind segments, that segment will disconnect from the body, along with all tail segments connected to it. They will all fall onto the ground and collapse into puddles of nectar. Because there are five segments, the number of Pikmin that can be flowered depends on the location the enemy is hit. Throwing a Pikmin onto the creature's head will also result in all five segments falling down. After being hit once, it will swiftly fly away.

In Pikmin V, the Nectarous Dandelfly returns with a slightly different flight pattern: while the main body still oscillates up and down, its line of nectar sacs now dangles behind it, making it easier to hit those instead. It is a rare enemy, but the improvements to nectar mean a hit to the head drops enough to flower an entire squad of 100 Pikmin.
Notes
Brittany's notes
- “Debate is hot over whether this creature is a divergent evolution from the Flutterbie family. Much of its biology is internally and externally similar to the smaller creatures, as is its penchance for nectar. However, mimicry and homoplasy are both valid alternate explanations for the resemblance, and research is ongoing.”
Olimar's notes
- “Striking its main torso will cause it to panic and empty its nectar sacs. If that is proving too much of a challenge, hitting an individual sac will empty it and all connected ones leading to the tail to drop.”
Louie's notes
- “It's not often that a specimen gets downed without breaking the nectar sacs. You'll find that no two sacs taste the same due to depending on the individual creature's diet.”
