The Candypop Caterer is a shepik appearing in Pikmin E: Remastered. They are often found around candypop buds, which they take care of, as their name would imply. Candypop Caterers are mostly harmless creatures and serve to simply help Candypop buds grow into adult Onions. However, upon being attacked, the creature becomes hostile, taking flight and swooping down from the air to abduct Pikmin, being able to hold 5 at most. If left with 2 or more Pikmin, the Candypop Caterer will toss them into the Candypop bud they are responsible for, and leave the sprouts in the ground for the leader to pluck. Candypop buds that have a Candypop Caterer will not wilt away, even if 5 Pikmin are thrown into them.

Notes

Olimar's notes

An amazing creature! It demonstrates a quite unique symbiotic relationship with the Candypop Bud it is responsible for, bringing objects such as nectar, sprays, and more to it in order for it to mature faster!

Louie's cookbook

Cook on a stove for about 5 minutes at 500 degrees. Ironically, this creature tastes better when drizzled with nectar. Once done, your reward shall be a small chunk of delicious, savory meat! I doubt Sacho wouldn't love to sell this at a sky-high price.

Attacks Abducts Pikmin

The Candypop Caterer is a meddlesome and cowardly scarpanid. Each one finds shelter and protection within a Carnivorous Candypop Bud, maintaining a mutual, symbiotic relationship with it. A Candypop Caterer will remain hidden by the closed petals of its Carnivorous Candypop Bud, revealing itself only after the flower blooms in the presence of Pikmin, but not leaders. Often immediately, but sometimes after a delay due to being caught off-guard, the creature will swiftly swoop towards the squad to snatch up to two Pikmin and proceed to throw them into the candypop, repeatedly looping back for more until they are out of range or no more are left.

Candypop Caterers are small insectoids with oblong bodies. Like other scarpanids, they have on their head a set of large, flat antennae that allows them flight. On either lateral side of their body is an arm, each one terminating in a three-fingered hand. Their two eyes are distinctly mammalian in appearance and possess light sclerae and small, dark pupils.

Candypop Caterers attempt to keep their distance from Pikmin, more so from larger groups, and leaders especially. They often dodge Pikmin thrown at them unless slowed by any they may be carrying, temporarily dampening their senses and reducing their speed. Although quick and agile, Candypop Caterers can be taken down with only a single well-aimed Pikmin throw.
