Mushroom Pikmin
Mushroom Pikmin also known as Zombie Pikmin or Evil Pikmin, they are Pikmin that are under control by a Puffstool. The spores of a Puffstool cause Pikmin to be morphed into to strange form, also known as their zombification. These Pikmin are purple, have a black mouth with white pupiless eyes, and a mushroom on its head rather than a flower, bud, or leaf. These Pikmin follow Captain Olimar and attack him until he shakes them off or until he loses all of his health. If Captin Olimar is not being attacked, you can usally find them dancing around the Puffstool. Mushroom Pikmin will eventuallty turn back into their normal forms in a moment of time. These Pikmin will also fight other Pikmin, this will just decrease your Pikmin population. These Pikmin could also be the parasitic form of Pikmin that burrow into Bulborbs in Pikmin 2.
