'''Red Pikmin''' ({{j|赤ピクミン|Aka Pikumin}}) are a red species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] with the special abilities of [[fire]] resistance and strong [[Combat|attack]] power. They are the first Pikmin type discovered in all games, and are usually considered the "main" type of Pikmin due to their relatively simple traits and early discovery. They are cultivated via the [[Red Onion]] (or the Master Onion), and like [[Yellow Pikmin]], [[Blue Pikmin]] and [[Bulbmin]], their [[Maturity|buds and flowers]] are white. These Pikmin are present in all games of the series, and make an appearance in all game modes. | |||

Red Pikmin also exhibit an immunity to [[fire]], in that they ignore the heat whereas other Pikmin (besides [[Bulbmin]] and [[Glow Pikmin]]) would have their leaf, bud, or flower catch on fire and run off in a panic. According to Olimar's notes in the Pikmin 4 Piklopedia, this is because their skin and muscle fibers are made up of a flame-resistant cellulose. This ability is most useful in ''Pikmin 4'', due to the presence of [[fire starter]]s that only they can pick up and [[sizzling floor]]s that only they can extinguish. It is also useful in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 3'' due to the fact that [[fire geyser]]s are indestructible and [[Fiery Blowhog]]s are prevalent. Their ability is less useful in ''Pikmin 2'', where the geysers can be destroyed by any Pikmin, and Fiery Blowhogs can easily be defeated with [[Purple Pikmin]]. Their main use in the second game is for defeating [[Fiery Bulblax]]es, though this task doesn't always require them. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', they act just like in all other games, except they also have the ability to stomp out [[flames]], allowing Olimar or other Pikmin safe passage. | Red Pikmin also exhibit an immunity to [[fire]], in that they ignore the heat whereas other Pikmin (besides [[Bulbmin]] and [[Glow Pikmin]]) would have their leaf, bud, or flower catch on fire and run off in a panic.

In {{p2}}, the first Red Pikmin are found by Captain Olimar, immediately after landing on the planet. There are 5 Pikmin fighting a [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Red Bulborb]] in the [[Valley of Repose]] right next to where Olimar lands. Whistling them gives Olimar control over them, which he uses to defeat the enemy. After this, once [[Louie]] has regained consciousness, he walks a short distance and finds the Red Onion. From there, Louie builds up the population in order to crush a [[bag]] separating him from Olimar, and from then on, the leaders are united. | In {{p2}}, the first Red Pikmin are found by Captain Olimar, immediately after landing on the planet.

There are many items in ''Pikmin 4'' that require the use of Red Pikmin to collect. This is due to the existence of [[sizzling floor]]s, obstacles that can only be destroyed by Red Pikmin, and [[fire starter]]s, tools that can only be carried by Red Pikmin. | |||
