Winged Pikmin are a Pikmin species that first appears in Pikmin 3; they were revealed in a Nintendo Direct broadcast on 17th April 2013 as the eighth Pikmin type. They are pink with large blue eyes, their bodies are striped in darker pink, and they have indigo flowers like Rock Pikmin. They are needed to defeat the boss of Twilight River, the Scornet Maestro.
Winged Pikmin are the fourth Pikmin type in Pikmin 3, and are discovered in the Twilight River. Along the river is an area where an Arachnode web can be found, and destroying said obstacle frees the Pink Onion from it's grasp. After doing so, it released a single Winged Pikmin seed, allowing more of Pikmin to be propagated. As with other Onions, it merges with the main Onion at the end of the day.
Abilities
Winged Pikmin have insect-like wings, meaning they can fly. They are immune to attacks close to the ground. Their ability to fly allows them to attack flying enemies easily and lift gates and Flukeweeds out of the ground. However, they cannot instantly take down a Pellet Posy when tossed onto its pellet, and if their leader is underwater they cannot be thrown. Winged Pikmin can also carry objects into the air, enabling them to take shortcuts, but they carry objects slower than other Pikmin types. Winged Pikmin behave differently when they carry objects alongside other Pikmin.
