The Puckering Blinnow is a small, colorful fish enemy. These creatures usually swim passively around in water, usually in groups of three or more. When one spots a group of Pikmin, it approaches the nearest one, grabs it, and quickly swims away with it. If the Blinnow is attacked, it will drop the Pikmin and try to jump out of the water to avoid taking damage. If they aren't attacked in time, they will eat the caught Pikmin. They can also jump out of the water to catch any Winged Pikmin flying overhead and go to the surface to catch any non-Blue Pikmin that is struggling. It is very swift in the water, but it can only grab one Pikmin at a time. Puckering Blinnows are very fast in the water, but incredibly fragile, and will die quickly if attacked by just a few Pikmin. They do not go down without a fight, however, and will go into a fury if attacked, possibly even jumping over the surface of the water, or onto land, where they will flop around helplessly like a Wogpole for a short time.
