Pikmin are a plant-animal species, first discovered by Captain Olimar when he got stranded on their planet. The Pikmin are loyal to Olimar whenever he comes, and he may have taught them some degree of survival, considering they weren't extinct in Pikmin 2. They come in many colors, which state their attributes to the environment.
Red Pikmin
Red Pikmin were the first species of Pikmin discovered. Their physical characteristic is their pointed noses. These Pikmin are fireproof, and have slightly higher strength than the other Pikmin.
Yellow Pikmin
Yellow Pikmin have ears. They are lighter than the other Pikmin, and they were recently discovered to be shockproof. They used to be able to carry and throw bomb-rocks, but since only large bomb-rocks are found now, they seem to have lost this ability.
Blue Pikmin
Blue Pikmin have what appear to be mouths, but are actually gills. These Pikmin, unlike the others, can survive in water and are resistant to water-based attacks. If thrown into water with drowning Pikmin, they are known to throw the drowners to land.
White Pikmin
White Pikmin are smaller than normal Pikmin and have red eyes. These Pikmin are resistant to poison, and also damage enemies that eat them. Their red eyes allow them to detect things buried underground. These Pikmin can only be obtained by throwing other Pikmin into Candypop Buds.
Purple Pikmin
Purple Pikmin are bulkier than normal Pikmin and have several wiry hairs growing out of their head. These Pikmin can cause damage simply by being tossed on enemies, and "home in" on the enemy if not tossed directly above it. They can also pick up objects with the force of 10 Pikmin, but move more slowly, even at Flower stage. Like the White Pikmin, they can only be obtained by Candypop Buds.
Other Pikmin
Puffstool Pikmin
When affected by the spores of a Puffstool, the Pikmin grow mushrooms on their head and start to attack Olimar. The effect wears off when time runs out or the Puffstool is destroyed.
