'''Rock Pikmin''' ({{j|岩ピクミン|Iwa Pikumin}}) are a species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] appearing in {{p3}}, {{p4}}, {{hp}} and {{pb}}, with the special abilities of [[crush]] (on soft surfaces) and [[stab]] immunity and a different method of [[Combat|attacking]]. They resemble small polished rocks with Pikmin eyes and limbs, and have lavender-purple [[Maturity|buds and flowers]] like the [[Winged Pikmin]]. The main part of their bodies seem to be a dark gray texture of graphite that reflects light, whereas their stems, arms, and legs appear to be smooth and gray. When Rock Pikmin are dismissed, their sprouts glow gray, oddily from ''Pikmin 4'', they glow as a grayish cyan. Their ghosts are also shaped like small gray rocks with eyes. Just like all other types of Pikmin in ''Pikmin 3'', Rock Pikmin have an [[Onion]], which later in the story merges with the Master Onion, and are reproduced through collecting nutrients from pellets and corpses. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', like all other types, they are found in certain levels and go to the [[Pikmin Park]] after a level is done.

Rock Pikmin, like most Pikmin types, are immune to specific hazards, in this case [[crush]]ing and [[stab]]bing.

Rock Pikmin have very hard exteriors, which allows them to smash through [[crystal wall]]s, standalone [[crystal]]s, and even the armor of larger animals (like the [[Armored Mawdad]] and the [[Peckish Aristocrab]]'s claw). However, they do not sink in water and are [[throw]]n just as far as most Pikmin types, revealing that they do not weigh much.

However, they do not sink in water, and are [[throw]]n just as far as most Pikmin types, revealing that they do not weigh much.


This hardness causes Rock Pikmin to behave very differently in [[combat]] to other types. When thrown toward an [[enemy]] or [[obstacle]], they will bounce off and roll backward. This deals a large amount of damage that depends on the creature, but it can be enough to defeat some smaller enemies, like [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, in a single hit. Since they cannot latch onto enemies, they will repeatedly attack enemies and obstacles by charging head-on into them, rolling backward, and getting up again, doing less damage over time than other Pikmin types due to the lower attack rate, despite the fact that each hit done in this way causes 20 points of damage, more than any type per attack. In the original ''Pikmin 3'', when Rock Pikmin are told to [[charge]], they cause even less damage when they lunge, serving only 10 points of damage, but only on the first hit, as subsequent hits cause 20 damage again. In ''Pikmin 4'' Rock Pikmin instead deal a uniform 40 damage against most enemies. This makes them far more effective at charge attacks and gives them comparable damage over time to standard Pikmin types. They also seem to now jump higher when performing their attacks, making them effective against elevated targets like the [[Bloomcap Bloyster]], the [[Peckish Aristocrab]] (even after it extends its legs) and even the eyes of the [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]].

As such, the best way to attack with Rock Pikmin is to have [[leader]]s throw them, which causes more damage than a regular lunge (or, in ''Pikmin 4'' charge a considerable number of them) and to [[whistle]] them to get up from lying down faster. That said, if they are thrown at the root of a [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] and not directly on its berries, are told to attack the [[Shaggy Long Legs]]' hair, or are attacking another Pikmin in [[Bingo Battle]], they will cling on like the other Pikmin types, and they won't lunge (they will lunge when attacking a leader in Bingo Battle, though). Curiously, in Pikmin 4 Rock Pikmin will fall after making a single strong attack if they cling on to these targets, this attack is strong enough to be capable of immediately picking a Burgeoning Spiderwort berry and seems to come with the possibility of "missing" and dealing no damage at all. They can also now damage the [[Baldy Long Legs]] this way.

In {{p3}}, the Rock Pikmin are discovered in the [[Garden of Hope]] and are the second type discovered. They are found in a cave located north of the landing site. Residing in this cave is a [[Medusal Slurker]] that contains 6 Rock Pikmin. After defeating it, the player can use the newly discovered Pikmin species to free the [[Rock Onion]] from a [[large crystal]]. After propagating some more Rock Pikmin, they can be used to break down the crystal wall outside of the cave and free [[Brittany]]. At the end of the day, the Rock Onion will merge with the Red Onion. Interestingly, a few of the Rock Pikmin inside the Slurker will have a [[Maturity|bud]] on top of their stem while others will have the usual leaf.

===Discovery===
In {{p4}}, the earliest Rock Pikmin can be found in the [[Kingdom of Beasts]] cave found in the [[Blossoming Arcadia]] on its second sublevel. They can be used to break the [[Crystal wall]] blocking the entrance to the next sublevel and the [[Ambiguous Goo]]. Additonally, Rock Pikmin can be found in the [[Frozen Inferno]], [[Plunder Palace]] and the [[Cradle of the Beast]]. The Onion for the Rock Pikmin can be found in the [[Giant's Hearth]], guarded by a [[Sovereign Bulblax]].

In {{hp}}, Rock Pikmin are first encountered in [[Crystal Tunnels]]. After getting his main path blocked by a [[Crystalline Crushblat]], Olimar is forced to enter an alternate path that follows a vertical section, with several large sloped [[crystal]]s that make him and his [[squad]] slowly fall downwards. When seeing his path completely blocked by a crystal wall, some Rock Pikmin at the other side spot him and, in a [[cutscene]], break the crystal to help him continue, just before ultimately joining his team. Various other Rock Pikmin can be obtained throughout the area, and after getting to the end, all of them will migrate to the [[Pikmin Park]], officially unlocking Rock Pikmin.

A Hermikmin that parasitizes rocks. Pikmin have their roots in plants, but some have acquired their bodies by rooting deep into their hosts.
Feature #1: Cannot be crushed
:Because its body is made of hard rock, it is not squashed when stepped on. However, it will be broken on hard floors, due to its hollow interior.
:(Image text: "The impact of being stepped on causes the head leaf to shrink")
Feature #2: Hardness
:Its rocky body is harder than glass and can destroy it by crashing against it.
Feature #3: Cannot stick to things
:Because of its rugged body, it cannot stick to its prey, so it attacks by slamming into it.

===''Pikmin 4'' impact===
As with Pikmin 3, Rock Pikmin's [[Health|damage]] depends on the circumstances of their [[Combat|attack]], although they have been drastically reworked:
*Typically, they deal 40 damage as a standard when lunging by themselves or when commanded to [[charge]] at most targets.
*Some large enemies, such as the [[Horned Cannon Beetle]] and the [[Empress Bulblax]], have a resistance to Rock Pikmin's lunging headbutts, taking around half the usual damage
*As with Pikmin 3, when thrown directly at an enemy Rock Pikmin will deal damage on a "hits to kill" statistic that differs from creature to creature, dealing similar damage this way as they did in Pikmin 3 while ignoring the defense boost granted to enemies frozen by [[Ice Pikmin]] or [[Ice Blast|Ice Blasts]]. Notably, this will almost always deal less damage than a slam from a [[Purple Pikmin]], which works similarly. An exception to this is the eyes of the [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]] which take more damage from Rock Pikmin.
*When [[Rush|rushing]] with [[Oatchi]], rock pikmin use the same "hits to kill" statistic as they do when thrown at enemies directly, typically dealing a large chunk of damage all at once.

*Rock Pikmin make a different sound when eaten: there is a much more noticeable crunching sound. This is easy to hear in the [[Garden of Hope]] because a [[Bulborb]] is near the landing site.

This, along with the color and shape of the Rock Pikmin, could imply their shell is made out of coal.{{cite web|https://old.reddit.com/r/Pikmin/comments/riz9w2/i_was_today_years_old_when_i_realized_when_rock/|I was today years old when I realized, when Rock Pikmin are on fire, they glow bright red, like burning coal.

*Similar to [[Ice Pikmin]], Rock Pikmin are referred to as parasitic. It is implied that they both belong to the same parasitic subset of Pikmin, known as "Hermikmin", which store their organs inside blocky, solid surfaces, although only this is only stated outright for Rock Pikmin. It would be inaccurate to label either of them as parasites however, as they simply use an inanimate object as a vessel—similar to their subset's namesake, the hermit crab—and do not rely on other organisms.
*The official color of Rock Pikmin is gray, though it has been debated to be black due to their color getting darker between ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''. Names of any Rock Pikmin-related object are always preceded by the word "Rock", the only exception being Gray [[Seedling]]s in ''Pikmin Bloom''. Additionally, treasures in the [[Soulful Artist Series]] all correspond to a different Pikmin color, with [[Ambiguous Goo]] having the word "Gray" printed on it.
