The Water Dumpling is the juvenile form of the Water Dumple, a blind, amphibious 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 about a small territory, occasionally pausing to float in place for some moments. If Water Dumples are nearby, they tend to keep close to their young. Whether a group of Water Dumplings attacks Pikmin or leaders that draw near depends on its population: if at or above half of its original size, it will attack them and each Water Dumpling will eat one Pikmin at a time, and if below half, the group will flee. Any nearby Water Dumples make a 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 an adult Water Dumple, and its skin is smooth and bluish. The appendages at its backside are light pink, 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 of its adult form.

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 kills 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 vitality and take some moments to swallow Pikmin.
