Rock Pikmin are a new species of Pikmin featured in Pikmin 3. They are slow and simply appear to be rocks with pikmin's eyes, limbs, and violet flowers, just like the Pink Pikmin. However the "rock" is most likely a hard outer shell, and seems to be hollow (other than than the pikmin's vital organs). They also seem to not be able to lay down like the red pikmin do when idle, in the video the just stand, they don't even sit. The 'skin' on the arms and legs of Rock Pikmin appears grey or black. When Rock Pikmin are dismissed, their sprouts glow gray.

Abilities

Rock Pikmin have rock-hard bodies; they are capable of smashing and chipping away glass and crystaline barriers with ease.

They appear to be able to carry the same normal capacity as any other Pikmin. Despite their strength, they have a setback; Rock Pikmin cannot latch onto their targets, as they bounce off and roll back. Instead, they will repeatedly attack enemies by charging headlong into them.

It can be assumed that they are somewhat similar to the Purple Pikmin, at least in terms of girth and size. The Captains have no issue throwing the Rock Pikmin, leading to the assumption that Rock Pikmin are rocklike due to their durability, not weight. Due to their unique properties, it could be assumed they would be very useful, if not vital, in certain combat situations, such as breaking off the armor of the Armored Mawdad.

you know what i think that you guys should make updates for the pikmin games! and also i think that you guys should add even more pikmin! also there should be no pikmin limit like when it only says that only 100 pikmin can be in the area at one time. well now the guys at nintendo should do exactly what i say! P.S. you guys should put cheat codes! oh and 1 last thing add endless ship parts to the game! what i mean is that not only can you collect ship parts and treasures but you guys can keep on collecting and collecting them! (same goes for the treasures too!) thank you! now put exactly what i said in the game! thats all! have fun! this goes for pikmin and pikmin 2!

this messege is for nintendo ONLY!
