The Pygmy Spectralid is an enemy in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers. It resembles its white, yellow, and red relatives, but much smaller, being about the size of an Ujadani, and with different coloration. It is cream-colored, with a minor orange tint, and wings that are orange and yellow. The legs and eyestalks are maroon, with light blue eyes.
Pygmy Spectralids act similarly to their brethren but are slower and much harder to hit. They cannot be locked on to and are largely only meant for atmospheric appeal. They can land on the flowers of Pikmin sprouts, which could make it easier to hit. When defeated, which can be done with only a single attack, its wings will shatter and its body will fall to the ground, popping and leaving behind a small drop of nectar that can sustain only one Pikmin. There is little reward for killing these creatures except for populating the Piklopedia.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “Amongst the smallest members of the flitterbie family, Pygmy Spectralids are incredibly low in the food chain. Many creatures, such as Scornets and Arachnodes, prey on these pint-sized insects. Despite this (or in some ways, because of this) they are in many ways important to the ecosystem. They pollinate flowers they extract nectar from, possibly even enhancing Pikmin growth, as their flowers are the perfect size for the Pygmy Spectralid to stand on. They are also an indicator of the ecosystem's health, and those that feature more of them are inferred as being better due to their importance in food and pollination.”
Louie's notes
- “Although the main body is too small to sustain any meaningful flavor, its wings are as sweet as toffee! Bake in the oven with powdered sugar until brittle for a delicious sweet that children will clamor for, or break it up and bake into cookies, pancakes, or Turkish delights”
Ship's comments
- “With their small size and lonesome nature, these guys are probably the most butterfly-like butterflies on the planet... which in turn means I'm scared of THEM the most!”
