Pikmin

“	Extraordinary! When I plucked the sprout, it turned out to be a living creature, not a plant! Picking it has done no visible damage... It just stands there, staring at me. Its shape is similar to the Pikpik brand carrots I love so much... I believe I shall call it a Pikmin.	„

"Red Pikmin are resistant to fire."

"Red Pikmin are good fighters."

“	The yellow Pikmin have picked up some peculiar stones. Why did they decide to grab them? This action seems to be instinctive to the yellow Pikmin. But just what are these strange glowing stones? Brightly glowing cracks cover them. Perhaps these cracks indicate that there's tremendous power locked away within. This merits further research.	„

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 (I.e threat of falling from a dangerously high place). 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.

Superhuman Speed, Acrobatics (Pikmin are very agile and should be more fit than the likes of Olimar), Small Size (Type 2. Pikmin are about 2.9 centimeters, or 1.14 inches, from head-to-stem), Stealth Mastery (Due to their small size, Pikmin can easily hide in small areas), Passive Mind Manipulation and Light Manipulation (A Pikmin's stem can compel people to pull it thanks to its light, which then causes the person to become friendly with the Pikmin. The light emitting from their sprout can be seen from large distances away), Combat Proficiency (Pikmin are highly adapt at fighting wildlife far larger than themselves. Winged Pikmin however are notably weaker than other species in combat), Accelerated Development (Battle & Absorption. Physical Stats, Intelligence, and Productivity.

Pikmin can regenerate from being impaled in the chest and stomach thanks to their rubber-like physiology. They can also survive and regenerate from being scorched for an extended period of time. Possibly Low-Godly through the Onion. Although not seen yet, Purple Pikmin should have an Onion as there's Onions Olimar hasn't discovered yet), Immortality & Elasticity (Types 3, 6, possibly 8 and 9. The physiology of the Pikmin allows their bodies to bend rather easily like rubber and be pierced with no major repercussions. Thanks to the Onion, a Pikmin can simply resurrect back and be sprouted onto the field, even if a Pikmin extinction occurs the onion will spit out sprouts to preserve the species), Burrowing (Pikmin can dig up berried items in dirt mounts and dig through walls of dirt rather easily), Flight (Winged Pikmin have wings upon their back which allows them to fly), Possible Enhanced Senses (Winged Pikmin have eyes similar to that of White Pikmin, who are able to see and locate buried treasures), Resistance to Extreme Heats (Can enter caves with natural fire geysers and heat-based lifeforms with no ill side effect), Extreme Colds (Can inhabit the Distant Tundra without any temperature issues), Electricity Manipulation, and Poison Manipulation (Has adapted to these over time to not be affected much by them), Mind Manipulation and Madness Inducement (Type 3; Scales to other Pikmin who resists resists the Waterwraith's abilities that make one go fearful and insane upon laying eyes on it), One Hit Kill (Resists the effects of the Enemy Annihilator which instantly kills all enemies in the vicinity of a captain), Time Stop and Magnetism Manipulation (Is unaffected by the magnetic field which stops time in the underground dungeons)

Standard Equipment

• Bomb Rocks: Bomb rocks are explosive rocks in the Pikmin games. Upon being activated, a rock's fuse starts going down (represented by a colored wheel), and when it reaches zero, the bomb causes a violent explosion, capable of damaging enemies, Pikmin, leaders and some obstacles. In the first and third games, they can be carried by Pikmin, but only by Yellow Pikmin in the former. In Pikmin 2, they are much larger and serve as obstacles instead of tools, with the exception being on the 2-Player Battle stage Hostile Territory, where they can be picked up and thrown by leaders. They can also appear as items in 2-Player Battle and Bingo Battle.

Other

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
