Winged Pikmin are a species of Pikmin featured in Pikmin 3. They are a vivid pink color with two slightly darker pink rings around their lower torso. They also sport very large heads, small arms and legs, two very large, blue compound eyes, and small transparent wings. Upon maturing, they sport the lavender Sutera Cordata. As their name implies, they have the ability to fly. They are constantly in flight, and can easily attack airborne creatures in large groups, such as the Swooping Snitchbug. Their most useful ability is that they can carry items above the ground and over hazards.
This Pikmin type can be propogated using pellets, just like Rock Pikmin.
Abilities
Winged Pikmin are capable of flight, and are always flying in the air. They can carry items above the ground and also appear to be able to automatically dodge falling objects. Winged Pikmin are small and fast, allowing them to keep up with the captains at a steady pace. Due to their constant airborne status, they can follow captains even if they're walking in an area inaccessable to most Pikmin types, such as a small pond or other body of water. It is currently unknown if there will be any way to cause Winged Pikmin to become grounded temporarily.
Due to their constant flying, they must be called by holding the whistle button for slightly longer than normal, which will summon a cylindrical beam of light that will call the Winged Pikmin.
