Mushroom Pikmin: Difference between revisions

'''Mushroom Pikmin''', also known as '''Zombie Pikmin''' or '''Toadmin''', are [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] that are under the control of a [[Puffstool]]. These odd Pikmin, as with the [[Puffstool]], are only seen in [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]]. The spores of the Puffstool cause affected Pikmin to morph into a strange form. Their eyes become pupiless and dead-looking, their skin turns a dark shade of purple, they make a strange noise and an orange-brown mushroom cap grows over their leaf/bud/flower. Mushroom Pikmin each have the same stats as they did before they were turned, including attack power and resistance to hazards. They follow [[Captain Olimar]] and attack him until he shakes them off or loses all of his health. If Captain Olimar is not being attacked, he can usually find them dancing around the Puffstool. These Pikmin will also attack normal Pikmin and vice-versa, but as they can both be killed, this attacking will simply decrease Olimar's overall Pikmin population. Mushroom Pikmin will turn back into their normal forms after a while. If any pikmin are in this state at day end, they will die like any other pikmin species.
