(we don't know if there'll be another type discovered before them; don't need a whole extra section for a sentence; removed 'upcoming'/'new'; pretty sure glass is a better bet than ice (look at the weather!); N/A is the wrong thing to use here)
Line 1: Line 1:
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.  The 'skin' on the arms and legs of Rock Pikmin appears black.

'''Rock Pikmin''' are the seventh type of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] announced for the [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' series]], found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and first seen at E3 2012. Their appearance is unlike that of most other Pikmin: their bodies consist of a roughly-shaped piece of rock, and their flowers are purple instead of pink or white. Rock Pikmin are capable of breaking hard objects, including a type of [[gate]] that appears to be made of glass and the shell of the [[Armored Mawdad]] boss.
==Abilities==
Rock Pikmin can survive ice hazards and attacks, and attack enemies with such abilities. Their hard form also allows them to be thrown at and break glass and ice barriers.


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. Instead, they will repeatedly attack enemies by charging headlong into them.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEbUujVkHWU&t=1m33s Pikmin 3 Demo at E3 2012]</ref>[[File:RockPikmin_Attack.png|thumb|Rock Pikmin breaking a glass wall.]]

It can be assumed that they are somewhat similar to the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Purple_Pikmin Purple Pikmin], at least in terms of girth and size. The Captains have no issue throwing the Rock Pikmin. Due to their unique properties, it could be assumed they would be very useful, if not vital, in certain combat situations.
 
 
 
==Obtaining Rock Pikmin==
 
 
So far, the only known way to obtain rock Pikmin is to have a [[Medusal Slurker]] suck up normal Pikmin into it's body, which will turn them into Rock Pikmin. Then, you must defeat the Slurker to get the Pikmin back. Being rock-like in nature, it is unlikely there will be a rock [[Candypop Bud]].
