[[ | [[File:Red_Onion.png|thumb|300px|A Red Onion.]]The '''Onions''' are the nests appertaining to the [[Pikmin (Species)|Pikmin]]. Olimar appelated them extremely as of their affinity to a legume native to his [[Hocotate|home planet]]. There are three known types of Onion, each with unique coloration corresponding to either [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]], or [[Blue Pikmin]], and only one of each has ever been seen. Subterranean Pikmin species such as [[Purple Pikmin]], [[White Pikmin]] and [[Bulbmin]] do not have Onions, or at least none that have yet been discovered. (However, it is very likely that the [[Bulbmin]] wil not have Onions, but the Purples and Whites may possibly have them in the upcoming game.) | ||

These bulbous plant-hives have brightly-colored bodies with a black-and-white band across the midsection. At the spots the Onions land at the start of each day, there are concentric circles on the ground, which are never referred to in-game. Three stilt-like legs suspend the Onions out of the reach of hungry predators, and provide access to the inside for Pikmin. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Olimar states that he inspected the Onion's legs, and saw they were covered with tiny little hairs, possibly to help the Pikmin climb out. | These bulbous plant-hives have brightly-colored bodies with a black-and-white band across the midsection.

Onions have different appearances before they are discovered. They are darker in coloration, have no flowers on top, and the legs are sticking into the ground. When Captain Olimar's approaches them, they explode with color, and the flower blooms. The flower begins to spin rapidly, pulling out the legs. | |||
==Behavior== | ==Behavior== | ||
During the daytime Pikmin hunt and bring food, such as [[pellet]]s or slain beasts, to the Onion, which in turn produces new Pikmin seeds. If there are fewer than 100 Pikmin on the field, the seeds are ejected and take root in the ground, but if not they are stored inside the Onion, along with any other Pikmin not on the field. When night falls and all the Pikmin have returned, the Onion folds its legs and lifts off from the ground, presumably using its flower petals like rotor blades to propel itself into the low atmosphere, where it hovers until daybreak. If an Onion loses all of its Pikmin, or if no Pikmin are capable of returning, it will produce a single seed the following day to prevent extinction. | During the daytime Pikmin hunt and bring food, such as [[pellet]]s or slain beasts, to the Onion, which in turn produces new Pikmin seeds.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', the 3 Onions appear as a trophy and on the "Distant Planet" stage. Here, when a [[pellet]] is thrown into one, an item is ejected. More items appear if the pellet and Onion have the same color, similar to the way it works in the [[Pikmin series|Pikmin games]]. The Onions can also be hit, and will eventually fly away swifty if hit too much. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', the 3 Onions appear as a trophy and on the "Distant Planet" stage.
