The Sputtlefish is a squid-like enemy with a flower-like protrusion atop its head. These enemies can only be found underwater. They swim casually when not threatened, but upon the arrival of Pikmin, they will assume an upright posture and swim towards them. They can lash out at Pikmin with their tentacles, grabbing and eating them one at a time. If attacked, it will release ink which causes Pikmin to panic for some time until they are whistled and swim away. The Sputtlefish can also gradually heal if left alone once attacked.

Sputtlefish appears in Pikmin: Spark as a common underwater enemy. In this game, they got renamed and are now known as the Lesser Sputtlefish due to the recent discovery of a Greater Sputtlefish subspecies. Their ink also now poisons the Pikmin instead of simply scattering them which makes them more dangerous as a result.
Notes
Abel's medical journal
- “Ink contains minerals that when distilled of the hazardous materials becomes an effective supplement.”
Lyn's sale review
- “I believe a certain chef from Hocotate can help market these creatures as their fast breeding makes them a reliable source of fine seafood.”
PIX's creature scan

- Habitat: oceans
