However, it is possible that White Pikmin may be venomous as well. Venom must be injected with a wound from the attacker, and although White Pikmin do not do that directly in any [[canon]] game, some hints in non-canon media indicate that they might be able to expel some hazardous material and use it similarly to venomous creatures. | However, it is possible that White Pikmin may be venomous as well.
