The '''Waddlepus''' appears in ''[[Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs]]'', encountered in the [[Land of Wonders|Marsh Territory]]. It can blow [[bubble]]s to trap [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[Captain Olimar]] in. Along with that ability, it has a new one: squirting ink to distract attackers. When sprayed with ink, Pikmin will simply stand in place as they would if they did not have a task. While the Pikmin are distracted, the Waddlepus will retreat. Waddlepi are always found in [[water]], and thus can only be attacked by [[Blue Pikmin]]. Waddlepi will rarely be willing to leave any body of water.

The '''Waddlepus''' is an enemy encountered in [[Pikmin 3]]. Waddlepi are small, purple octopus-like creatures with several yellow pores covering their back. They have green eyes and small O-shaped mouth that hides a large yellow pore. The Waddlepus is also an aquatic enemy and can be encountered underwater as well as on land.
The '''Waddlepus''' is a returning enemy that appears in ''[[Pikmin: Decayed Leaf]]''. The creature is mainly found around tropical areas, primarily in the [[Enchanted Shore]] and its respective caves. Despite its naming, it resembles a large, purple, abnormal starfish covered in scales. Along the edges of the body, including the eyes and mouth, a lighter pink lining of soft skin outlines the creature, with the underbelly of the Waddlepus being completely pink. Numerous yellow orifices are present on top of the Waddlepus, with the same yellow color found in its mouth. The creature also has two large, bulbous eyes with green sclerae and sharp, black pupils. The head of the Waddlepus can be expanded to an extreme size, causing the creature to double in height and appear much more menacing than it actually is.


Waddlepi are generally calm enemies. They are always found sleeping and wake up only when [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] or a [[Leader]] is nearby. Once disturbed, the Waddlepus will inflate itself and slowly waddle towards the captain and their Pikmin. If Pikmin are latched onto the Waddlepus when it inflates, they will be thrown off. Once inflated, the Waddlepus can then shoot out a stream of bubbles from either its mouth or from its pores on its back. These bubbles do not harm Pikmin, but rather trap them and Captains inside. The bubbles will eventually pop, but the player can prematurely pop the bubbles by throwing a Pikmin at them.
Waddlepi can be found sleeping near bodies of [[water]]. Attacking, touching, or damaging it can cause it to wake up. Simply walking too close to the creature can also cause it to awaken from its sleep. Once awoken, the Waddlepus will begin to waddle around. If it feels threatened, or if it is attacked by a Pikmin or captain, it will expand its head to an extreme size. The Waddlepus will then rush towards the nearest group of Pikmin, proceeding to blow out dozens of [[bubble]]s at its attackers. It will emit a large cluster of bubbles from its mouth and numerous bubbles from the orifices located on the top of its head. These bubbles will trap any Pikmin they touch. As it releases these bubbles, it will slowly begin to deflate its head. Once finished, the Waddlepus will take a few seconds to rest, allowing for an opening to attack. If Pikmin are gone after it's finished resting, it will return to its arena and go back to its slumber. If not, then it will re-expand its head and continue its attacks. If too many Pikmin are swarming the creature from different directions, the Waddlepus will begin to shake, suddenly spraying out ink from the top of its head. The ink will rain all over Pikmin, acting like a hazard that chokes them until whistled.


{{Clear}}
Defeating a Waddlepus is quite easy, as it is not threatening on its own. However, if paired with nearby [[hazard]]s, other enemies, or even [[Pit|bottomless pits]], it can scatter the squad all over the place and put stray Pikmin in danger. Any Pikmin type can take out the Waddlepus, although some types have more of an advantage. Mainly, [[Steel Pikmin|Weighted Pikmin]] cannot be taken by bubbles due to their weight. Along with this, [[Dart Pikmin]] and [[Spike Pikmin|Cactus Pikmin]] will pop any bubbles they get trapped in due to their sharp nature. [[Winged Pikmin]] can also be sent to deal with these bubbles. Once defeated, the creature will expel dozens of bubbles before shriveling up and flipping over.


==In Fanon Games==
In Overlord mode, the Waddlepus is much stronger, and releases double the amount of bubbles and ink. The creature also has a shorter cooldown time.

The '''Waddlepus''' makes a reappearance in Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs and appears in the [[Land of Wonders#Marsh Territory|Marsh Territory]]. As it did in [[Pikmin 3]], the Waddlepus can blow bubbles to trap Pikmin and [[Captain Olimar#Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs|Captain Olimar]] in. Along with that ability, it has a new one: squirting ink to distract attackers. When sprayed with ink, [[Pikmin]] caught in the cloud will simply stand as they would if they did not have a task while the Waddlepus retreats to a different area. Waddlepi are always found [[Water#Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs|underwater]], and thus can only be attacked by [[Blue Pikmin#Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs|Blue Pikmin]]. Waddlepi will never willingly leave any body of water.
The '''Waddlepus''' is a returning species of [[Flobbler family|flobbler]] that appears in ''[[Pikmin: Pitstop]]''. It resembles a large, purple, abnormal starfish covered in scales.

The Waddlepus spends most of its time sleeping, usually in bodies of [[water]]. If approached or attacked, it will suddenly wake up, and expand its head to a great size. If further provoked, it will blow a large cluster of [[bubble]]s, which can capture the captain and their Pikmin. They can also spray ink at Pikmin, which can choke and kill them, similar to [[poison]].
 
The Waddlepus can be damaged by any Pikmin type, but if it’s in the water, then only [[Blue Pikmin]] can engage it. Call Pikmin back when it begins to blow bubbles or spray ink, to avoid them getting trapped or choking. If they do get trapped in bubbles, throw Pikmin at them to pop them.

The Waddlepus is a generally passive flobbler. They are always found sleeping on land or in water, and wake up only when Pikmin or leaders are nearby. Once disturbed, the Waddlepus will inflate itself and slowly waddle towards them. If Pikmin are latched onto the Waddlepus when it inflates, they will be thrown off.
