A golden Pikpik carrot with the box in which it was transported
Golden Pikpik carrots are golden, even the leafy stem, and are little longer then the orange variety. They have three curled roots instead of the basic cone-shaped root seen on a normal Pikpik carrot. Olimar named the Pikmin after them, because the Pikmin looked like them.
On one occasion, a precious shipment of more than 10,100 Pokos' worth of golden Pikpik carrots were sent with Louie to be shipped somewhere, but Louie ate these and returned with a misleading report that a space bunny ate them, so he could avoid getting reprimanded or fired.
