Steel candypop buds are similar to Titanium candypop buds in nature and instincts, but they are very different in many ways. Steel candy pop buds don't create pikmin, they attack them. Steel candy pop buds can still hop and fly, but they hunt for pikmin, and startled easlily. They are very heavy, because they are made of steel, this makes it hard for them to fly, but it protects them better.
