Crimson Skyhoppers are little air bag-like creatures. they hop around and set aflame when in danger. These are really easy to kill, (one punch or one Pikmin toss) but are tricky to follow. They are very sticky and cling to walls. Then they set off obstacles on purpose or lure other enemies torwards the captain and squad of Pikmin. They do not eat Pikmin but do squish White Pikmin only because White Pikmin are so small. If a Crimson Skyhopper tries to squash a Purple Pikmin, they instantly die. All of the rest of the colors they don't even try to squash.
