Enemies are creatures that, in general, pose a hazard to Pikmin and leaders. There are many types of enemies, with varying appearances, behaviors, strengths, weaknesses, and levels of hostility. Enemies have varied attacks, with effects that range from shaking Pikmin off to outright killing them, and some take advantage of hazards to cause damage to Pikmin who are not immune to them. Some enemies are incapable of directly killing Pikmin. Some enemies, if inadvertently, may hurt others; this typically happens when they try to kill Pikmin or leaders.

Defeated enemies may leave their corpses, some pellets, or other useful items like nectar, and can be taken to an Onion for seeds or to a vehicle for Pokos. Some enemies contain essential items like vehicle parts, treasures, or fruits, which they drop when defeated. Most downed enemies will also safely release any Pikmin in their grasp, regardless of any apparent fatal damage caused when the Pikmin was trapped. Enemies are often recorded in in-game encyclopedias, the most common being the Piklopedia or an equivalent thereof.
