The Water Dumpling is the juvenile form of the Water Dumple, a blind, aquatic member of the grub-dog family. It is found only underwater, accompanied by up to eleven other Water Dumplings and sometimes one or two adults of its kind, swimming slowly around a small territory but occasionally pausing to hover in place for some moments. If Water Dumples are nearby, it will tend to keep close to them. When Pikmin or leaders draw near, whether a Water Dumpling will attack or flee is dependant on how large its group is: if the population of its group is above half or at half of its original size, it will attack and eat one Pikmin at a time, and if the population of its group is below half, it will flee. Any nearby Water Dumples will make the group of Water Dumplings more courageous.

Being the juvenile form of the Water Dumple, the Water Dumpling greatly resembles a smaller version of it. A Water Dumpling is about a third of the size of a Water Dumple, and its skin is smooth and bluish. The appendages at its backside are light pink in color, the same color as its smooth, thin lips, and waver as it swims. Other than these aforementioned differences, a Water Dumpling has the exact physical characteristics as a Water Dumple in Pikmin 3.

As Water Dumplings are so small and fragile, they can be quickly killed by swarming, and throwing even a single Pikmin directly on top of one will kill it instantly. However, as Water Dumplings are always found submerged in water, Blue Pikmin are usually necessary to kill them. They pose little threat to Pikmin populations even in larger numbers, as they have little health and take some moments to swallow Pikmin.
