Scientific name: ''Pikminidae rubrus''


'''Red Pikmin''' have pointy noses and white flowers, and are present in all ''Pikmin'' games. They are resistant to [[fire]] and have a stronger attack strength than other types, making them good at [[combat]] dealing 1.5x damage more then other Pikmin types. They are the first type discovered in all ''Pikmin'' games (Although [[Yellow Pikmin]] are the first type seen in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the Red Pikmin are the first to be properly introduced).

'''Purple Pikmin''' have short hairs, pink flowers, and are bulkier than other Pikmin types. They are present in ''Pikmin 2'', ''Pikmin 4'' and ''Pikmin Bloom'', as well as the alternative game modes of ''Pikmin 3''. They weigh 10 times as much as other Pikmin types, are slower than other types, can [[carry]] 10 times the weight of other types, and can attack with a strong [[Combat#Purple Pikmin pound|pound]] capable of stunning enemies. In all games except ''Pikmin 4'', they do not have an Onion, and must be gained by using [[Candypop Bud]]s.

'''Winged Pikmin''' are pink and have wings, large blue eyes, and purple flowers. They are present in ''Pikmin 3'', ''Pikmin 4'', ''Hey! Pikmin'', and ''Pikmin Bloom''. They can fly over [[water]] and low barriers, allowing them to take shortcuts when [[carry]]ing, as well as making it harder for enemies to attack them, but their attack strength is lower than other Pikmin types.

'''Ice Pikmin''' are cyan with icy bodies similar to Rock Pikmin, albeit with a distinct head, and yellow flowers. They are only present in ''Pikmin 4''. Ice Pikmin are immune to being frozen and can freeze [[Enemy|enemies]] by filling up a meter around the enemy's [[health wheel]] by attacking or by being eaten. The bodies of frozen enemies shatter upon death, leaving a droplet of [[nectar]] behind in a manner similar to how [[ultra-bitter spray]] functions. They can also be tossed into [[water]] to freeze it, freezing any enemies and treasure inside until the water unfreezes, and allowing leaders and other Pikmin to walk across its surface.

Pikmin have a generally humanoid body shape. All types have a head with two round eyes, two arms and hands. With the exception of [[Glow Pikmin]], Pikmin also have two legs and two feet. Each hand and foot has three digits. Pikmin heads have a tall stem on which a single leaf, bud, or [[Chaenostoma cordatum|five-petaled flower]], also with the exception of Glow Pikmin, which have a different flower. There are differences between Pikmin types in ways other than color – Red Pikmin have a nose, Yellow Pikmin have ears, Blue Pikmin have a mouth, Purple Pikmin are wider and have 6 hairs, White Pikmin are smaller and have red eyes, Rock Pikmin are shaped like rocks, Winged Pikmin have wings and blue eyes, Ice Pikmin have cyan and angular shaped icy bodies, and Glow Pikmin have ghostly tails and unevenly sized blue eyes.

Their proportions, with a large head and very narrow limbs, make them look a bit like carrots, and this resemblance also exists in the way that Pikmin grow in the ground and can be pulled out of it. While buried in the ground, their limbs serve as roots; Olimar refers to their entire bodies, save the stems, as ambulatory root structures.{{cite quote|{{Notes:Creeping Chrysanthemum/olimar}}|Captain Olimar|[[Olimar's notes|his notes]] for the [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]}} While all Pikmin of a type are the same size in most games, in {{pb}}, individual Pikmin come in 4 different sizes.

Pikmin start their lives as seeds ejected from the [[Onion]], which, after landing in the ground, transform into sprouts. A [[leader]] must [[pluck]] a sprout so that the Pikmin may come out. While [[idle]], the Pikmin's leaves and flowers glow that Pikmin's respective color; that, coupled with a [[cutscene]] at the end of ''Pikmin 2'', would suggest that Pikmin are somehow bioluminescent, though what causes this and what function it might serve in the wild has never been explained.

The internal structures of Pikmin are a mystery, but certain things about them can be speculated. Since Pikmin never seem to eat anything, save [[nectar]], they probably have a very simple digestive system, if any. As such, it is likely that Pikmin get a majority of their nutrients from food the [[Onion]]s break down. Since the Onions are the center of Pikmin reproduction as well, it seems likely that Pikmin are incapable of sexual reproduction. However, in ''Pikmin'', flower Pikmin will sometimes drop seeds when slain in battle, suggesting that they may be able to reproduce asexually, but also that they do not have defined sexes and are hermaphrodites like many plants. Pikmin also have a skeletal system, as seen when [[electricity|electrocuted]]. Pikmin probably don't have any sort of lungs (however, the [[Blue Pikmin]] are observed to have gill structures), but their leaves, buds, and flowers appear to serve as their main means of respiration, since poison gas or water droplets collecting around them suffocates the Pikmin; inversely, walking in shallow water in which their leaf/bud/flower does not touch (as seen in the [[Shower Room]]) is fine. When killed, Pikmin disappear and a [[soul]] flies into the air, sometimes after releasing a liquid of the same color as the Pikmin, possibly the Pikmin equivalent to hemolymph or blood – this is best seen when the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]] attacks.

Decor Pikmin are a special status of Pikmin in {{pb}}. They differ from regular Pikmin in that they wear some decoration. These decorations are generally made from objects like flower heads, acorns, or cupcakes, but there are some Decor Pikmin that have more elaborate costumes. Different types of Decor Pikmin are collected by finding Pikmin [[seedling]]s in specific types of real-world locations. There are over 30 sets of costumes, and over 200 types of Decor Pikmin.
