'''Leafling''' is the name given to characters that cannot be identified because their heads are entirely covered by leaves. Their ID badges are unreadable due to corrupted biometric data, listing their name as "???" or "Error" and their home planet as [[PNF-404]]. [[#Leafling Olimar|Olimar as a leafling]] can be seen kidnapping a [[castaway]], dragging it into an Onion, and making it pop out as a leafling. He justifies this by saying that those that don't embrace [[dandori]] cannot survive in the planet, but they thrive instead if they have the leaves. This is presumably how leaflings are made, and [[Dingo]] speculates that [[Yonny]], the [[Rescue Corps]] doctor, might be able to help bring them back to normal. | |||
Leafling castaways can be rescued from [[Dandori Challenge]]s and [[Dandori Battle]]s, both of which are issued by characters that are themselves leaflings. In this state, leafling characters are unable to speak in normal sentences, instead using simple words and small sentences at a time, and are obsessed with dandori. They will hand over the leafling castaways they have, or fall unconscious so they can be rescued themselves, if they witness a good display of dandori in their challenges or battles. Glow sap from a [[Lumiknoll]] can be made into medicine by [[Yonny]] that dissolves the leaves, reverting the leaflings to their normal state. | |||
Following his curing, Olimar believes that Leaflings may have had Pikmin DNA incorporated into their bodies after being taken into an [[Onion]], triggering their physical and psychological changes and causing them to rapidly sicken if they try to leave [[PNF-404]]. Although he does not know what purpose this "Pikmin-ification' might have, he speculates that the Pikmin may be trying to create a permanent [[leader]] for themselves. | |||
Following his curing, Olimar believes that | |||

=== Dandori cave Leaflings === | |||
Leaflings can be found inside of both [[Dandori Challenge]] and [[Dandori Battle]] caves. They often speak in broken english always centered around the concept of Dandori. | |||
The | In Dandori Challenge caves, they act as hosts and comment on the player's dandori skills as they progress. The first of these, seen in the [[Dandori Day Care]] explains that the caves serve as a test designed to develop one's dandori skills. After completing the challenge, the Leafling faint from how quickly the player worked, and can be brought back to the surface and carried to the S.S. Beagle. | ||
In Dandori Battle caves, they act as prizes. The [[Leafling#Leafling Olimar|red Leafling]] carries them from the surface and converts them into Leaflings using their onion. The player can rescue them only if they can defeat them in a Dandori battle. If they are defeated, they surrender the Leafling, who can be taken back to the surface and carried to the S.S. Beagle. In [[Hot Sandy Duel]] and [[Final Battle]], the player instead saves [[Yorke]] and [[Nelle]], who (thanks to their consumption of the Glow Sap prior) are immune to becoming Leaflings. | |||

Unlike the prior Leaflings, he uses correct grammar, though still obsesses over the idea of Dandori. He is usually seen accompanied (and later guarded) by [[Moss]]. Both are seen stealing castaways and turning them into Leaflings via their onion, as they believe that those who are not Leaflings cannot survive this planet. The mysterious duo challenges the player to rounds of [[Dandori Battle]]s, returning the castaways they steal only when the player wins.

Though they refuse to be rescued or cured, they will reward the player with the White [[Onion]] and Purple Onion upon completing their fifth and tenth trials. Recompleting the fifth and tenth trials will reward the player 10 White Pikmin and Purple Pikmin respectively. It remains unknown who this Sage Leaf was before they became a Leafling, but given their old age, it would seem they have been one for a long time. | |||

*Technically, leaflings debuted in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', in a specific non-canon ending. If Olimar fails to collect enough necessary ship parts before the 30-day time limit runs out, Olimar will be forced to try to leave the planet, only to fail.
