Hostile Species (Pikmin)

The Grub-Dogs, Amphitubers, Snavians, and other types of monsters are the main antagonists of the Pikmin video-game series.

Despite the majority's motivations (eat or kill Pikmin) are for pure predatory instincts than true evil, some of them can be considered villains, much like the Puffstool (who turns Pikmin into Mushroom Pikmin to turn them against the player and other Pikmin), the Empress Bulblax (whose motivations are similar to the Queen Metroid from the Metroid series, by giving birth to Bulborb Larvae and use them against the player, and also attacking by herself), the Arachnorbs, the Waterwraith, the Titan Dweevil, the Plasm Wraith and the Leech Hydroe (who want to kill the Pikmin and their leaders), and the Scornet Maestro and the Queen Shearwig (those who command an army formed respectively by Scornets and Shearwigs to attack the player).

They are encountered mainly in the surface and underground caves on PNF-404, but can also be found on the planet on which the video game Hey! Pikmin is developed.
