Leafling is the name given to characters that cannot be identified because their heads are full of leaves. Their ID badges are unreadable, due to corrupted biometric data, listing their name as "???" and their home planet as PNF-404. Castaways that are dragged into an Onion will pop out as leaflings. Dingo speculates that Yonny, the Rescue Corps doctor, might be able to help bring them back to normal.
Leafling castaways can be rescued from Dandori Challenges and Dandori Battles, both of which are issued by characters that are themselves leaflings. In this state, characters are unable to speak in normal sentences, instead using simple words and small sentences at a time, and are obsessed with dandori. They will hand over the leafling castaways they have if they witness a good display of dandori in their challenges or battles.
Appearance
Leaflings wear regular gray spacesuits, but without a helmet, and their head is covered with leaves, almost like a head full of hair. Only their noses (if any) and eyes are visible. Different characters have different colored foliage.
Atop their head is a stem with a leaf, much like that of a Pikmin. Fainted leaflings will also have a glow matching their leaves' color, similar to when a Pikmin is idle.
List
Dandori Day Care leafling
At the entrance to the Dandori Day Care is a pink-colored leafling dancing happily. When first met, they chant about dandori before entering the cave. Once inside, they explain that the cave serves as a test designed to develop one's dandori skills. After completing the challenge, they faint from how quickly the player worked, and are brought back to the surface, after which they can be brought to the S.S. Beagle.
