The biology of leaflings is unknown. [[#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 do not embrace [[dandori]] cannot survive in the planet, but they thrive instead if they have the leaves. This process is how leaflings are made. [[Dandori Challenge]]s and most [[Dandori Battle]]s are run 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. Like normal castaways, they [[weight|weigh]] 3 units when [[carry|carried]], with a maximum carrier count of 6. [[Glow sap]] from a [[Lumiknoll]] can be made into medicine by Yonny that dissolves the leaves, reverting the leaflings to their normal state. | The biology of leaflings is unknown.

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 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]].
