'''Ice Pikmin''' are a type of Pikmin found in {{P4}}. Their most defining characteristics are their light blue and blocky bodies, seemingly made of chunks of ice, their complete immunity to all types of [[ice|freezing]], and their ability to freeze enemies and bodies of water and mud solid. They have noticeably lower attack power in battle and additionally [[Fire|burn]] to death faster when lit aflame by sources of fire, lasting roughly 4 seconds instead of 6. They leave small snow and water vapor particles around them as they move and their [[maturity|buds and flowers]] are yellow.

Ice Pikmin do not deal very much damage in combat. However, when attacking enemies, or when eaten by them, Ice Pikmin will progressively [[freeze]] them, as represented by a ring-shaped gauge around the enemy's [[health wheel]]. Once the gauge is full, the enemy freezes entirely and can no longer act, though they do take reduced damage while frozen. Defeating a frozen enemy will make it shatter into chunks of ice without leaving a corpse, instead producing drops of [[nectar]] or [[ultra-spicy spray]]. Enemies that are frozen in midair will fall to the floor and shatter immediately. If not defeated after 6 seconds, a frozen enemy will begin shaking and eventually break out of the ice, knocking any attached Pikmin to the ground. This freezing ability is highly similar to the [[ultra-bitter spray]] in ''Pikmin 2'', though involving ice instead of stone, and not being instantaneous or able to hit multiple targets at once.

 

 

 

In addition, Ice Pikmin can resist icy hazards and attacks, and may grapple cold enemies without being frozen solid. They may also persist in cold environments without any help from the captain or [[Oatchi]].

Ice Pikmin that get trapped in [[bubble]]s will freeze the bubble and then quickly pop it.

==Discovery==

Ice Pikmin are typically first discovered in the [[Last-Frost Cavern]], where they are seen fighting a [[Snowy Blowhog]] that shoots ice. In their introduction cutscene, they spin around and slide on their lower bodies, meaning they are at least slightly slippery. Their Onion is not found until [[Hero's Hideaway]].

 

 

 

 

==Notes==

=== Dalmo's notes ===

{{transcript|With the frigid air welling up endlessly from inside their icy bodies, they can freeze anything at all! If you throw enough of them in a pond, they'll freeze the surface so solidly that you can walk right across it! They're just like little ice wizards!|block=y}}

 

=== Olimar's notes ===

{{transcript|Pikmin supposedly evolved from plants, yet there are also Pikmin species with bodies made of ice, known as Ice Pikmin. How is this possible?

 

The answer to this question lies in the fact that Ice Pikmin are parasitic by nature, and the ice serves as their host. The composition of this type of ice is, predictably, mostly water, but it resembles saline solution with faint concentrations of trace sodium ions, potassium ions, and calcium ions that function as neural transmitters.

 

Interestingly, the ice exhibits no visual signs of melting or dripping when exposed to sunlight. This is due to its low-temperature core, which continuously creates more ice in order to maintain a consistent size.|block=y}}
