In Pikmin: Antarctic Survival, mist is primarily used by tyrant-type enemies, which can be observed to have mist crystals growing on their bodies and use mist spells of various forms in battle. Mist is also naturally used by members of the dweevil family, as is typical for them.
Some of the abandoned research notes in the Ruins of Awakening mention research done on mist and its properties, and it can be speculated that mist has some connection to the Awakening process and Awakening Essence itself. This could also explain why Awakened creatures are less able to manipulate mist as compared to how they were able to before they were Awakened, as if the Awakening-type mist is somehow conflicting with the other forms of mist.

Mist is an enigmatic substance that is a fundamental component of all matter, similar to quarks. It comes in a variety of types known scientifically as "flavors", most of which relate to other hazards, such as fire, ice, or gloom. Mist flavors can also relate to concepts and properties, such as life, technology, or battle. As a fundamental building block of matter, mist is harmless on its own, but many creatures and entities can manipulate types of mist present in their environments, often to dangerous effect. Mist is found in both gaseous and crystal form, in a variety of colors depending on the mist type, though gaseous mist is often hard to see or even imperceptible to the eye.
Mist particles make up and are drawn to objects, creatures, and locations whose properties match that of the specific type of mist particle. Fire mist can often be found concentrated in an area packed with fire hazards and enemies or in an intensely hot area such as a desert or volcano. Battle mist is drawn to areas where a battle is taking place, and can persist for long periods of time in an area where a particularly fierce battle occurred, even long after the battle has ended.
The origin and properties of mist are not fully known, though they are highly studied by researchers in the field of particle physics. There are seemingly nearly countless varieties of mist in existence, as types of mist have been discovered relating to every hazard in existence, to individual species of life-forms and even some areas, and many more types that continue to be discovered. Due to its subatomic nature, mist is very difficult to control and harness, but many alien life-forms have evolved to be able to do just that, using special mist-related organs. The primary example of this is the dweevil family, in which nearly every species is able to harness and control types of mist using a "mist sac" within their bodies, which is the method by which most Dweevils are able to manifest hazards as a defense mechanism. Most creatures can only harness one type of mist, but especially powerful and supernatural creatures are often able to harness two or more types of mist.
Pikmin are known to relate to their own distinct colored forms of mist, which can be observed as the cloudy silhouettes that appear from any Pikmin that perishes. These types of mist seem similar in their properties to the hazard mist of the hazards that these Pikmin types are most associated with, but there are differences in their composition and properties as well.
Mist is most known for taking a gaseous cloudy or invisible form, hence its name, but mist is also seen to commonly crystallize into mist crystals when certain conditions are met. These crystals are commonly found in regions with very high quantities of their mist types, such as water mist crystals forming at the bottom of an ocean or lake. However, these crystals can sometimes form in areas that seem completely unrelated to their type, and researchers are left to speculate on why this is the case. One unique form of mist crystal which can form almost anywhere is the "pure mist crystal", which is formed from inert or "noble" mist which is not tied to any specific element or quality. Pure mist can be used as a substitute for almost any other type of mist, though this is usually less powerful and takes a special level of control over mist in order to be successful. Typically, pure mist is used as a supplement to other mist types, with mist users combining a small amount of typed mist with a large amount of pure mist to be able to manipulate mist much more efficiently since pure mist is the most common mist type, without sacrificing the heightened power provided by using forms of mist other than pure mist, known by mist users as "chromatic mist".
Mist crystals are very useful to the process of manipulating and channeling mist, as they are of course closely tied to mist itself. Wild creatures native to PNF-404 and other planets can be observed with mist crystals growing on their bodies and the ability to use mist of the crystals' types as a defense mechanism or natural property. More advanced species are able to use mist as well, such as some hermetic and solitary Koppaites creating ornate rods of materials that conduct mist well which are covered or tipped in mist crystals, which can range from using one specific crystal type to multiple crystal types. Mist crystals are also fragile and shatter easily, and this can be used advantageously by a mist user, as the shattering of a mist crystal fills the air with its respective mist type, strengthening the power of mist manipulation of that type and refilling the quantity of a mist type in an area lacking in that mist type.
Some individuals are able to convert pure mist into other types of mist through certain reactions, or even convert chromatic mist from one type to another. This process is known as "mist alchemy" and is known only to the most skilled and learned mist users and researchers.
Many groups, especially more primitive societies with less scientific knowledge, do not understand the scientific particle properties of mist, and instead view it as a form of "magic." One main example of such a group is the isolated Koppaite sect known as the "Mistacolytes." This group promotes the idea of mist as a form of magic, and has done so for millennia, despite recent scientific findings proving a natural explanation for mist's properties. The Mistacolytes are incredibly skilled users of mist, even if they reject the scientific discourse surrounding it, and are known for their incredibly fine craftsmanship of their "mist-staffs" and "mist-rods", elaborate devices which allow for incredible control over mist and use of it for a variety of utilities and advanced processes.
Due to the cultural impact created by the Mistacolytes and other similar groups, common terminology used to refer to mist often makes use of magical terms, despite the scientific inaccuracy of these terms. It is not uncommon for manifestations of mist to be referred to as "mist spells" or "mist magic," for mist users to be referred to as mist-magicians or mist-wizards, and for objects harnessing mist to be referred to as "mist runes," "mist wands," or with other similar fantasy terminology. Even though this terminology is rejected by scientists and scholars, it is common for subjects relating to mist to be discussed in these terms outside of scientific circles, and sometimes this popular lexicon even makes its way into professional research. The term "mist spell" is especially common, and is often used even by researchers as shorthand for manifestations or manipulations of mist essence.
