The Sparrowhead is an enemy encountered in Hey! Pikmin. It resembles a small, round, legless bird, with wings similar to the wings of a fly. They move quickly and dive at groups of Pikmin to peck at them.
Notes
Hey! Pikmin Creature Log
"They have a pesky habit of appearing suddenly out of the sky to attack. They're cute up close, though, aren't they? If the S.S. Dolphin II didn't have such an aversion to bugs, I'd want to take it home with me."
Battle Strategy
Hey! Pikmin
Sparrowheads will fly on screen quickly, face your Pikmin, and dive down to peck them. They will die after one hit, so just throw a Pikmin at it the second it comes on screen.
