Posting a bunch of old #Pikmin concepts again bc I haven’t made anything new to post, this time it’s a definitive list of everything though.

(Alt text has a lot of additional info, which goes into way too much detail)

🧵(1/2)

3 custom captains

Green Captain - Arnold (He/Him) loosely inspired by character D, self reserved young prodigy pilot.

Orange/Brown Captain - Chester (He/Him) Middle aged goofy maintenance man, fun uncle type of guy who talks alot about his family back home.

Purple Captain - Clyve (They/Them) Space biologist from planet Koppai, guilty of trying to pet dangerous creatures.

Diagram of the Pikmin exclusively found on the “Wild Isles,” the setting of the hypothetical game.

Coal Pikmin- “Wild” version of Red Pikmin. Their bodies are covered in chunks of coal and remain constantly super-heated. When enough of them latch on to an enemy for long enough, they will catch fire. This functions similarly to Ice Pikmin’s freezing mechanic. They will instantly die on contact with a body of water, and are the only type who can dive under lava.

Sea Pikmin- “Wild” version of Blue Pikmin. They have no legs, but produce natural light from their stem and have tail fins that allow them to swim quickly. They move very slowly outside of water or wet areas. Whereas other non-Yellow types are insta-killed by electric hazards, Sea Pikmin are only stunned (like all types in Pikmin 3)

Ear Pikmin- “Wild” version of Yellow Pikmin. They have much larger ears that function similarly to bat wings and are used in place of arms. Can be thrown extremely high and glide. Produces static that can slightly slow enemies. Can push large “Bomb Boulders” with their prehensile ears.

Prickmin- The only Pikmin type that is aggressive towards other Pikmin. Green and covered with sharp thorns. Prickmin deal heavy damage but will not cooperate when other types are also being commanded by the same captain. They are not immune to any hazards, but can survive more basic attacks better than other types, and deal small damage when eaten.

Claw Pikmin- Large brown Pikmin with closed eyes and small whiskers that burrow and can traverse through mud. They are slow, but resist being shaken off by enemies, and have a carrying strength of 5. This type can also navigate carried items through dark areas, without the help of Sea Pikmin or activated Lightbulbs in an area.

Pencil art of various custom Pikmin types.

-Claw Pikmin and Prickmin
-A bulbmin and long Pikmin with tentacle-like appendages labled “Parasiticus Pikminicus”
-Onion Pikmin, which are elaborated on more in the next image in the post.

(adds colors as pikmin types are obtained)

1- the extremely elusive onion pikmin have been discovered! not much is known currently as only one of these creatures has been found (our beloved sonny) but it is hypothesized that these creatures are the source of the onions!

i wonder if the wild isles are the place where all onions truly originate from… more research will have to be conducted when we get out of this mess..
