The Dewdrop Wraith is a species of shellter appearing in Pikmin Rebirth as a boss. It is one of the smaller members of this family of crustaceans, having a purple shrimp-like body with a forked tail. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in ability; using its forked tail, it can scoop up surrounding fluids, allowing it to envelop itself inside a giant bubble. Afterward, it tries to jump into its prey to drown and then eat them. The properties of the bubble change based on what fluid it uses: with water, it creates small drops of the fluid every time it jumps; with liquid poison, it leaves behind a toxic residue wherever it last was; with acid, it can perform short but quick jumps; lastly, with ice water, it performs long but slow jumps. Regardless of abilities, there are two ways to pop the bubble it hides itself in: either lead it into a sharp edge to puncture the bubble or use electricity to evaporate the bubble instantly should the Dewdrop Wraith collide with it. After the bubble pops, the Dewdrop Wraith is defenseless as all it can do is flee before trying to find a new body of fluid to make a new bubble using. When defeated, it drops a water-themed relic worth a high amount of Sparklium.
In Ultra-Spicy Mode, the Dewdrop Wraith always attacks in pairs. They can either attack separately or merge their bubbles together to attack as one.

Notes
Magdalene's journal
- “Being intimate here, I was a very awkward girl growing up. I never had many friends and was often bullied. I could see myself encasing myself inside my own bubble to feel safe... I think I can imagine that this creature does the same thing. It's afraid, almost makes me feel bad for it.”
Azure's salvage logs
- “For those unaware, the tail can repel fluids, so it's the reverse of a magnet. One can only imagine the practical applications this product may bring, because I can't.”
Lenin's cooking tips
- “Inedible. The special fluids in this crustacean make the creature too stiff to boil or steam, so I can't recommend cooking it.”
Ivy's biology logs
- “This member of the shellter family is quite bizarre from an evolutionist perspective. Its anatomy suggests that it's a terrestrial animal, but its behavior suggests it is aquatic: a truly bizarre mishmash. An examination of its blood reveals that it releases a special compound that repels any fluid, allowing the Dewdrop Wraith to form an air bubble around itself while swimming; additionally, it can control this fluid to make the water surrounding it more viscous, thus making predators unable to pierce its den. It uses this as an offensive measure as it hunts on coastlines, waiting for a terrestrial animal to cross its territory before it tosses the mass of fluid it has collected to drown the animal before consumption.”
Indy's strategy guide
- “Some troops are too cowardly to fight head-on, so they hide behind obstacles in an attempt to impede the enemy. But every defense has a hole, and if abused, the facade falls, and all you are left with is a coward ripe for the picking.”
