| “ | Sometimes I wonder what it's all good for. I mean, Olimar is a nice enough fellow and all, but he just loves being in charge. I take this in my stride since our mission on the planet of the Pikmin is introducing me to so many wondrous creatures, from the super scary to the downright yummy! There is no way that Olimar could handle the job by himself and I reckon we actually make a pretty good team. Let's face it, there's no such thing as a proper partnership, I've done a bit of research into them lately, so I should know | „ |

Background
Louie is a secondary protagonist in the Pikmin series, serving as Olimar's partner and co-worker. He first appears in Pikmin 2 – the only game in which he is a playable character in Story Mode. In Pikmin 3, he stays at the Koppaites' ship after being saved, twice, and appears as Olimar's partner in Bingo Battle, as well as a playable character in some missions. In Pikmin 3 Deluxe, he once again accompanies Olimar as a second leader in the new Side Stories mode.

Early Life
Pikmin 2
Paying Hocotate Freight's debt off
The debt is eventually payed off throughout the game, treasures being found in the Awakening Wood and the Perplexing Pool, as well as the Valley of Repose. After collecting ×10,000 worth of treasure, Olimar blasts off from the planet, noticing too late that Louie is left behind. The Titan Dweevil
It is unknown whether Louie was a captive of the Titan Dweevil, or in actuality controlling it. Some of the pieces of mail the player receives from Louie's grandmother reflect that he was made to play with bugs by his grandmother as a child, so he has a great deal of experience with them; therefore, it is possible he had the ability to control the Titan Dweevil. This is heavily hinted at by the sales pitch on Louie, here denoted as the King of Bugs, which in itself implies this as well, and the fact that Dweevils naturally mimic the objects they carry. However, if Louie really was in control of the Titan Dweevil, it was still not him or the Titan Dweevil who attacked, but actually the treasures carried by the Titan Dweevil. Of note is that if Louie is rescued, but the weapons are not, the Dweevil will still be fully aggressive on the next trip to the sublevel. In addition, in the Titan Dweevil's Piklopedia entry, it is noted that the creature has a habit of picking up shiny objects – potentially including Louie's helmet or its antenna. Pikmin 3
Later, the Koppaites find Louie in the remains of the Quaggled Mireclops. They take him back to the ship and tie him up, retrieving the stolen items and interrogating him on the whereabouts of the actual Captain Olimar, once they learn his identity. The S.S. Drake now labels him "Food Thief". After Rescuing Olimar from the Plasm Wraith, they give Olimar and Louie a lift back to Hocotate. However, after taking off, Alph writes in a note that Louie has gone missing again. Still, the Koppaites do not show much interest in trying to rescue him, as Alph simply says that "I'm sure he will be fine..." He is confirmed to have returned to Hocotate with Olimar in Olimar's Comeback, possibly retconning his second disappearance. In Olimar's secret logs
There is an unreleased video that was never announced by Nintendo and was kept as a secret. This one, unlike Olimar's logs, seems to take place during the Koppaites' hunt for fruit. In it, he explains how he stole the juice from the leaders and found the Wayward Moon, just before being kidnapped by the Quaggled Mireclops. |

Background Pikmin are a plant-animal life-form first encountered by Captain Olimar when his ship crash-lands on an uncharted planet in Pikmin. The Pikmin are loyal to their leaders, although their criteria for deciding a leader is unclear. They come in a number of different types, each indicating a unique set of attributes that better suit them to different environments and tasks. Most Pikmin are 1.2 cm, from the top of the head to the feet, and have a vaguely humanoid shape, allowing them to walk, run, carry, and fight. Different types can have different shapes or sizes. Atop any Pikmin's head is a stem, topped with a leaf, bud, or flower, depending on their maturity. Captain Olimar was noted in Pikmin to wonder, a bit uneasily, why the Pikmin don't attack him, and he speculated that they might see him as a "parental figure". However, the Antenna Beetle being able to control Pikmin with its sound might prove that it is in fact the whistle that makes Pikmin non-aggressive. As of Pikmin 3 Deluxe however, it is implied by the various murals located around the globe that they view Olimar as a sort of higher deity who guides them, showing the relationship between Olimar and the Pikmin is one of loyalty. Biology  Although each Pikmin species have different characteristics, most Pikmin have the same general appearance: a roughly humanoid body shape, two round eyes, two arms and two legs, two hands and two feet – each with three digits – and a tall stem on which a single leaf, bud, or five-petaled flower grows. Their limbs also serve as roots when buried in the ground. In fact, Olimar refers to their entire bodies, save the stems, as ambulatory root structures.  The internal structures of Pikmin are a mystery, but certain things about them can be speculated. Since Pikmin never seem to eat anything, save nectar, they probably have a very simple digestive system, if any. As such, it is likely that Pikmin get a majority of their nutrients from food the Onions break down. Since the Onions are the center of Pikmin reproduction as well, it seems likely that Pikmin are incapable of sexual reproduction. However, in Pikmin, flowering Pikmin will sometimes drop seeds when slain in battle, allowing for new Pikmin to sprout in their place, suggesting that they may be able to reproduce asexually, but also that they do not have defined sexes and are hermaphrodites like many plants. Pikmin also have a skeletal system, as seen when electrocuted. These bones however are incredibly flexible to the point of allowing the Pikmin to act like rubber (Although they can be flattened and killed with enough force). Pikmin don't appear to have any sort of lungs (However, the Blue Pikmin are observed to have gill structures), but their leaves, buds, and flowers appear to serve as their main means of respiration, since poison gas or water droplets collecting around them suffocates the Pikmin; inversely, walking in shallow water in which their leaf/bud/flower does not touch (as seen in the Shower Room) is fine. When killed, Pikmin disappear and a ghost resembling the original Pikmin flies into the air, sometimes after releasing a liquid of the same color as the Pikmin, possibly the Pikmin equivalent to hemolymph or blood – this is best seen when the Cloaking Burrow-nit attacks. Pikmin start off as seeds ejected from the Onion, which, after landing on the ground, transform into sprouts. A leader must pluck a sprout so that the Pikmin may come out or alternatively have the Pluckaphone whistle blown at them to "inspire" them. While idle, the Pikmin's leaves and flowers glow that Pikmin's respective color; that, coupled with a cutscene at the end of Pikmin 2, would suggest that Pikmin are somehow bioluminescent, though what causes this and what function(s) it might serve in the wild have never been explained. Regular Pikmin are able to carry at least ten times their own weight, as evidenced by the ability of Blue Pikmin to lift and toss heavy Purple Pikmin when they are drowning in water and have even been shown to lift entire nuggets of gold roughly the size of the Pikmin. Pikmin are also capable of basic speech and can even be heard saying English phrases like "OK!", "Hi!", and "Yahoo!" after being plucked from the ground. When in a group they will sometimes sing parts of Ai no Uta in Pikmin 2. If left idle for a long time, Pikmin will moan at each other. From what is heard, it can be assumed that Pikmin language is very simple and primitive. Stages  Pikmin can be divided into three stages. In the first of these, the Pikmin will have a leaf on their stem, which changes to a bud and then a flower as the stage increases. Leaf Pikmin are the slowest and least efficient at performing tasks, but as the stage goes up the movement speed and task efficiency increases. Along with that, Pikmin think more efficiently in both combat and task when in a higher stage as they sprout into their flower state when thinking of more elaborate plans. In some situations, Pikmin can also instantly mature from leaf to flower if threatened by immediate danger. After this point, they will remain matured for the duration of their lifespan unless reverted back to a prior state in battle. Pikmin can advance their current stage in several ways. The most common way is by being fed nectar. Alternatively, they may be left underground before being plucked, where they will gradually mature with time, or, in Pikmin 3, they can be sprayed. When knocked to the ground in battle in Pikmin and Pikmin 2, they have a chance of losing their maturity and decreasing in stage. They will never revert their current stage in Pikmin 3. In Pikmin, if a flower Pikmin is shaken off, it will revert to a bud, and the bud will revert to a leaf in the same scenario. In Pikmin 2, however, flower Pikmin revert to leaf Pikmin immediately. Like flower Pikmin, buds can be received when leaf Pikmin are allowed to stay in the ground for a certain amount of time.

Other Standard Tactics: Pikmin are incredibly dependant on a leader for instructions in and out of battle. If left on their own, they will typically latch onto the opponent and begin attacking them repeatedly. Weaknesses: Aside from Bulbmin, every Pikmin either only resists one elemental type or none of them. Purples and Rocks resist no elemental types, and any Pikmin that's not a Blue Pikmin or Winged Pikmin can drown. Though if a Winged Pikmin does get caught off guard they can fall in the water and proceed to drown themselves. However this weakness can be avoided with the help of Blue Pikmin throwing them out of the water | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Background
At the very bottom of the last cave in the game, the Dream Den, Olimar and the President find Louie sitting atop a mound of treasure. When they approach the mound, however, it reveals itself as the head of the Titan Dweevil. The enormous monster then proceeds to attack the Hocotate Freight employees, triggering the boss fight. Louie is found on top of it the first time the Titan Dweevil is battled; the sales pitch on him as a treasure suggests that he may somehow be in control of the dweevil, although if the dungeon is revisited and the boss is fought after rescuing Louie, it will still attack the leaders if the weapons weren't collected last time. Despite being the final boss of Pikmin 2, defeating the Titan Dweevil does not necessarily lead to the end of the game, unlike the final bosses of Pikmin and Pikmin 3. It can be fought before many other bosses and recovering Louie will not yield any special ending unless the treasures are the last to be collected in the game. However, new e-mails will be received once Louie is found.
General Information
Origin: Pikmin Sex: Varies Age: Unknown, likely the oldest and most developed species of the dweevil family Classification: Giant Armoured Herculean Spider Species: Dweevil species Occupation: None Status: Active (Is one of the most prominent species on PNF-404) Alignment: Unaligned (The wildlife on PNF-404 don't follow moral ethics and simply survive like traditional animals in the wilderness)
Codex Statistics
Cardinality: Finite Dimensionality: 3-D Attack Potency: At least Subhuman level (Can harm Olimar and the President, and can easily swat away Standard Pikmin. Can swat away Purple Pikmin, though they are unable to kill them on their own. Should be superior to the Red Bulborb which can launch a tire rim several meters into the air), Higher with weapons and Penetration Damage (The Titan Dweevil's four weapons make it the biggest threat of the Dream Den) Durability: At least Subhuman level (The Titan Dweevils are one of the toughest lifeforms on PNF-404 and in the Dream Den, taking an entire squad of Pikmin to defeat it). Invulnerability through the dweevil's mimicking physiology makes it difficult to kill. Striking Strength: At least Subhuman Class, Higher with weapons and Penetration Damage Lifting Strength: At least Subhuman (Should be vastly superior to the Red Bulborb which can kick a tire rim several meters into the air. The dweevil species is capable of lifting dozens of times its own size with absolute ease) Travel Speed: Superhuman+ (Can keep up with Pikmin on foot who can easily outpace pellet shots from the Gatling Groink which can travel at 168 m/s on average) Attack Speed: Supersonic (Can tag and swat away Pikmin along with Olimar himself, and should be comparable to wildlife that use electricity-based attacks) Reaction Speed: Supersonic (Comparable to the Pikmin themselves and can quickly swat entire groups away whilst being swarmed) Stamina: Unknown (Their physiology implies they can remain indefinitely active depending on what they mimic) Range: Below Standard Melee physically, Standard Melee with Flare Cannon and Comedy Bomb (Can attack across the entire dungeon floor centerpiece), Above Standard Melee with Shock Therapy (Can reach outside the centerpiece of the dungeon floor), Kilometers with Monster Pump (Can attack across the entire dungeon floor and automatically detects and channels subterranean waterways from a mile away[3]), Higher depending on what they mimic Intelligence: Animalistic (Dweevils typically aren't hostile by nature and simply want to mimic whatever it is they can pick up off the ground. Despite this, they have a basic understanding or survival instinct to fight off oncoming predators)
Resistance to Petrification (The purple potion only petrifies the Titan Dweevil's body and not its weapons), Fire Manipulation and Resistance Negation (Fire Propulsion; Due to mimicking the Flare Cannon, the Titan Dweevil is naturally resistant to it), Electricity Manipulation, Paralysis Inducement, Matter Manipulation, and Resistance Negation (Electricity Surge and Bioelectricity; to mimicking the Shock Therapist, the Titan Dweevil is naturally resistant to it), Water Manipulation (Aquatic Flow and States of Matter Manipulation) and Penetration Damage (Physical Penetration; Due to mimicking the Monster Pump, the Titan Dweevil is naturally resistant to it), Poison Manipulation and Gas Manipulation (Grade XIII Biohazard; Due to mimicking the Comedy Bomb, the Titan Dweevil is naturally resistant to it)
Notable Techniques

Notable Techniques
- Whistle: The whistle is a main part of the gameplay in the Pikmin games. It is the primary way of calling idle Pikmin and leaders over onto the active leader's group, the secondary way being the active leader bumping into them. Whistling can also be used to instantly rescue Pikmin who are under the effects of certain hazards, or Pikmin trapped by special enemy attacks. Throughout the series, the whistle has been modified and repurposed for multiple different techniques.
- Call: By blowing the whistle for an extended period of time, any idol Pikmin or captains will be alerted and fall into line next to the captain issuing the command.
- Dismiss: Using the dismiss signal alerts any Pikmin and captains following the current captain to separate into idol groups for further action.
- Charge: The swarm command plays a sound equivalent to a blow horn which signals any active Pikmin groups in the captain's party to charge a targetted objective.
- Swarm: The swarm technique directs any and all Pikmin in the captain's current troop to fall in on an objective in quick succession.
- Whistle Upgrades:
- The Mega Tweeter: The Mega Tweeter is obtained by defeating the Ranging Bloyster in the Shower Room and collecting the Amplified Amplifier. This upgrade increases the range of the whistles of all captains. The diameter of the visible circle projected on the ground increases to about 144% of its original size, thus more than doubling the area the whistle affects. This makes it easier to call scattered Pikmin to the captain's side, even when being slow in the Onions.
- Pluckaphone: The Pluckaphone is obtained by defeating the Waterwraith in the Submerged Castle and collecting the Professional Noisemaker. It is an upgrade that allows the captain' whistles to call buried Pikmin out from the ground, saving precious time that would otherwise be spent plucking them out. As well as picking newly produced Pikmin at the Onions, this is useful for calling out Pikmin that were planted by wildlife in battle.
- Dodge Roll: The Dodge Whistle can be found on a small cliff a short distance away from the exit to the Vehemoth Phosbat cave. It is an upgrade that allows captains to dodge left or right, guiding the Pikmin to do the same. It is done in a straight line normally, or in an arc around a locked-on target.
- Throw: A standard technique which involves throwing a captain or Pikmin at an objective. This technique is used primarily to launch Pikmin at foes from a distance with risking as many casualties, at the risk of only being to throw one Pikmin at a time. All Pikmin have varying effects and different abilities in combat that allow them to stand out from their fellow speciemen.
- Red Pikmin: Red Pikmin are the first Pikmin discovered in each of the three Pikmin games. They possess a standard throwing arc with average range. Due to their 1.5 times increased damage output, they are ideal for combat.
- Yellow Pikmin: Yellow Pikmin are typically the second Pikmin discovered throughout the games (The exception being Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe). Due to their lighter body weight, they have the highest throwing arc in the series, and can easily reach most airborne enemies.
- Blue Pikmin: Blue Pikmin are the last Pikmin species discovered in the games (Mainly due to their aquatic diversity). Thanks to their gills, Blue Pikmin excel both on land, and underwater, making them perfect for exploring in submerged areas without risk of drowning.
- Purple Pikmin: Purple Pikmin are one of three Pikmin species discovered in the caves of Pikmin 2, and the first to be discovered. Their heavy weight and strength of ten regular Pikmin make them deadly warriors. Thanks to their weight, Purple Pikmin have the shortest throwing distance, but can create powerful shockwaves on impact with a solid surface.
- White Pikmin: White Pikmin are one of three Pikmin species discovered in the caves of Pikmin 2 and are the second species to be found by Olimar and Louie. Their light bodies and small size allow them to be thrown the furthest. To add on, consumed White Pikmin can poison targets, instantly killing them.
- Bulbmin: Bulbmin are one of three Pikmin species discovered in the caves of Pikmin 2 and are the final species to be discovered. Bulbmin are unique in that they possess the body of a juvenile bulborb, allowing to resist most elemtal hazards.
- Rock Pikmin: Rock Pikmin are the second species of Pikmin to be discovered by the Koppaites in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Their rocky physiology gives them the most unique attack of all Pikmin, as throwing them does not latch them on to targets, but instead strike the target before bouncing off a short a distance.
- Winged Pikmin: Winged Pikmin are the fourth species of Pikmin to be discovered by the Koppaites in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe, and the final new species. Their ability to fly makes Winged Pikmin the most capable aerial warriors of the Pikmin species. When thrown, they can latch onto targets, or home in on them when flying. The Winged Pikmin's biggest droback is its weaker attack output.
Other
Standard Tactics: Louie will typically scan his surroundings with his radars (With his KoPad as of Pikmin 3 Deluxe) and approach an opponent with caution before tactically commanding his Pikmin army to attack the opponent, whilst also using sprays to better his chances at victory.
Weaknesses: Must wear a spacesuit while on unknown planets. Although Louie relies a lot on the Pikmin to get more extreme tasks done, he is far more of a survivalist than Olimar is without them and managed to traverse dungeons without any Pikmin. Louie's hunger can get the best of him and lead him to do questionable things.

“ The caustic dweevil is one member of an insect family known for mimicking objects by carrying them on their backs. Several points of differentiation with other members of the species have been confirmed, such as body color and behavioral patterns, but none of these suggest major deviations in the creature's genetic structure. This makes it clear that it is a relative of the family. When attacked by enemies, the caustic dweevil spits out bodily fluids in response. Space suits corrode and oxidize when they come in contact with this highly acidic liquid. „ ~ Olimar's Research Notes on the Caustic Dweevil - ↑
“ Members of the dweevil family are known for carrying objects of astounding size on their backs, then mimicking them. The fiery dweevil is one species in this family. Generally, this is a very gentle insect that feeds on grass nectars, but when faced with danger the fiery dweevil ignites flammable internal gasses, juts out its jaw, and spews scorching flames.

These insects often carry the carcasses of other life-forms on their backs, but apparently this is not for the purpose of transporting them as food, but instead is another example of their mimic behavior. The munge dweevil produces two different chemical compounds within its body, which form poisonous gas when mixed and expelled. This gas is used only for self-defense. „ ~ Olimar's Research Notes on the Munge Dweevil - ↑
