Lumiknolls (ヒカリヅカ?, lit.: "Light Anthill") are large dirt mound nests found in night expeditions in Pikmin 4. They are the home to Glow Pikmin, and function similarly to the Onion, although their behavior is quite different.
Lumiknolls produce Glow Pikmin when fed with a certain amount of glow pellets. Unlike Onions, when Glow Pikmin are produced, they will automatically appear at the player character's location. Juvenile Lumiknolls, known as Tricknolls, are also found within night expeditions and serve as an extension of the Lumiknoll. All pellets transported to Tricknolls are then transferred to the main Lumiknoll and propagate Glow Pikmin. When successfully protected until morning, Lumiknolls produce an extract known as glow sap, which is used to cure castaways from their leafling affliction.
