Rock Pikmin are a new species of Pikmin featured in Pikmin 3. They are slow and simply appear to be rocks with pikmin's eyes, limbs, and violet flowers, just like the Pink Pikmin. However the "rock" is most likely a hard outer shell. The 'skin' on the arms and legs of Rock Pikmin appears black.
Abilities
Rock Pikmin have rock-hard bodies; they are capable of smashing and chipping away glass and crystaline barriers with ease.
