They also have very large heads, small arms and legs, two very large, blue compound eyes, and small transparent wings. Upon maturing, they sport the lavender [[Sutera cordata|Sutera Cordata]]. As their name implies, they have the ability to fly. They are constantly in flight, and can easily attack airborne creatures in large groups, such as the [[Swooping Snitchbug]] and the [[Puffy Blowhog]]. Their most useful ability is that they can carry items above the ground and over hazards.

This Pikmin type can be propogated using pellets, just like [[Rock Pikmin]].

They are pink with large blue eyes, their bodies are striped in darker pink, and they have purple flowers like [[Rock Pikmin]]. Members of this species possess insect-like wings, and so have the ability to hover over obstacles, carry objects over water, and easily combat flying enemies.
==Abilities==
Winged Pikmin are capable of flight, and are always flying in the air. They can carry items above the ground and also appear to be able to automatically dodge falling objects. Winged Pikmin are small and fast, allowing them to keep up with the captains at a steady pace. Due to their constant airborne status, they can follow captains even if they're walking in an area inaccessable to most Pikmin types, such as a small pond or other body of water. It is currently unknown if there will be any way to cause Winged Pikmin to become grounded temporarily. 
 
Due to their constant flying, they must be called by holding the whistle button for slightly longer than normal, which will summon a cylindrical beam of light that will call the Winged Pikmin.[[File:Pikmin-3-2.jpg|thumb|Winged Pikmin carrying pellets over a body of water. ]]
 
==Trivia==
* In the early days following ''Pikmin 3'''s formal introduction, speculation was thrown around as to what the pink-colored Pikmin were, or if they were even Pikmin. It took 9 whole months before they were finally revealed to be Winged Pikmin in Nintendo's April edition of Nintendo Direct.
*In the happy ending to the first [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]] game, there are fourteen multicolored onions flying above the planet's atmosphere. Five of these onions were pink.
*The Winged Pikmin are the second Pikmin type, the first being [[White Pikmin]], to feature compound eyes.
*Winged Pikmin have dark stripes on their bodies which make them resemble bees. They are the first and only known species of Pikmin who have an additional color pattern on their bodies, rather than just being monochromatic.
*Winged Pikmin carry objects from the top rather than the bottom. This could be a result of them being constantly in flight.
*If there are more Winged Pikmin in ratio to all other Pikmin on an item, they will lift the item up carrying both the object and the Pikmin, who will eventually fall off.
*If the same number of Winged Pikmin and all other Pikmin try carrying an object, it will not move at all.
*Also when they die they create a different sound to the other members of the [[Pikmin Family]].
*The more Winged Pikmin carrying an object, the higher they carry it.
