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 (also stuns 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.
