The Red-Eye Flapper is an unused enemy found in the files of Hey! Pikmin. Work on it was apparently abandoned early into the game's development as it consists of only a basic model with a red head or eye and blue body and has no animations whatsoever.

Avoid that Flapper’s laser! – The ship, upon discovering the Red-Eye Flapper

The Red-Eye Flapper is a strange enemy found in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The creature has a small, furry, blue body and a large, glowing eye on the front with a red sclera and a black pupil. The eyebulb also has two large wings that allow for the creature to take flight.

Red-Eye Flappers can be found flying in the air in a circle, or on some occasions, a figure-eight pattern. Once Pikmin cross the path beneath them, they will begin to engage them. The Red-Eye Flapper will swoop down and fire three explosive, red lasers at the group. This laser can kill Pikmin, but it will mainly just deflower them and knock them away, like the shells of a Gatling Groink. The creature will then fly back into the air after performing its divebomb attack.

Defeating a Red-Eye Flapper can be achieved in many ways. If the beast is weighed down by Yellow Pikmin or Winged Pikmin, then it will fall to the ground, where it will be vulnerable to attacks from stronger Pikmin. Iguana Pikmin can also damage the Red-Eye Flapper with their ranged tongues. If a Dart Pikmin hits the creature, it will perish instantly, as with all eyebulbs that are hit by the Pikmin type.

In Overlord mode, the lasers of a Red-Eye Flapper are guaranteed lethal. They are also much larger and explosive.

Notes

  • P3 Data file icon.png Data file #1: The Red-Eye Flapper is dangerous, so try engaging it from a distance to avoid its explosive lasers.

Olimar's notes

Red-Eye Flappers hunt for their prey with their deadly lasers, which are essentially condensed beams of red phosphorus and pure energy stored within the eyebulb. Red-Eye Flappers do not have a mouth; they instead intentionally make their kills messy, so they can sit in the internal juices of their prey and absorb it through their skin, as their fur allows for such a thing. The fur itself is hydrophobic, and won’t let any of the juices get stuck on it, so they simply fall onto the bare skin of the beast.

Louie's notes

REMOVE THE VOLATILE EYE FIRST! Skin this beast and skewer on a metal rod. Roast the beast over a fire and drench in your favorite Hocotation dip. This serves as a good cut of red ham, minus the eye. If only the eye was not filled with phosphorus, as it may hold some culinary promise.

President’s notes

So what would happen if you were to poke the eye? Would it explode? Perhaps Olimar should run some tests...

Overlord’s thoughts

These guys are straight out of a sci-fi movie! I’m surprised a small blue flying thing can actually fire explosive lasers. Guess I shouldn't expect less at this point from my children.
