This page lists all official descriptions of different Pikmin types from media outside of the games themselves (at least all the ones I can find).
Non-English translations will have my best attempt to translate them using Google Translate, fixing anything that doesn't make sense. Some more accurate translations would be greatly appreciated!
TODO: Find out if the original Pikmin and Pikmin 2 websites have any information, see if Nintendo Power #280 has profiles, and see what the Prima guides for Pikmin and New Play Control! Pikmin say.
Red Pikmin
Pikmin Japanese website
“熱に強く、攻撃力バツグン。”
“Resistant to heat and has excellent attack power.”
Pikmin instruction manual
“We can stand high temperatures and have really powerful attacks!”

“These little critters grow stronger in sunlight, making them a great choice for attacking other creatures.”
Nintendo Official Magazine UK issue 118
“Use red Pikmin to destroy objects”
“Red Pikmin will not die if exposed to fire, which is useful for getting ship parts from areas littered with flame-throwers and to take on fire breathing enemies. Red Pikmin attacks are also stronger.”
Nintendo Acción issue 116
“Resisten las llamas de estos enemigos, y también los escapes flamigeros del suelo.”
“Resists the flames of these enemies, and also the flaming exhaust from the ground.”
Nintendo Acción issue 119
“Son los primeros que aparecen en la aventura. Como habréis deducido, son los más poderosos así que no tienen problema en enfrentarse a quen haga falta. Pero quizá lo más importante es que son inmunes a cualquier tipo de fuego, ya sea enemigo o procedente de un géiser.”
“They are the first to appear in the adventure. As you will have deduced, they are the most powerful, so they have no problem facing whatever is necessary. But perhaps the most important thing is that they are immune to any type of fire, be it coming from an enemy or a geyser.”
Pikmin Nintendo Player's Guide
“If your Pikmin can't take the heat, send in your red buddies. Only red Pikmin can withstand fire. Red Pikmin are also better fighters than yellow and blue Pikmin, so recruit a crimson crew for offensive maneuvers.”
Pikmin Nintendo Power booklet
“Burn, Baby, Burn!
Pikmin come in three different colors: red, yellow and blue. Red Pikmin are the ultimate firefighters, able to withstand direct contact with the hottest flames. Spicy!”
“Red Pikmin can take the heat. They'll walk through flames, dish out damage and live to tell the tale. They're also your strongest fighters, so gather a group of red Pikmin when it's time to wreak havoc on a particularly tough enemy.”
Nintendo website Pikmin Audio/Video section (early 2000s)
“Red Pikmin are impervious to fire.”

Nintendo Power issue 183
“Olimar is reunited with the red Pikmin first. They can withstand fire, and aside from the big purple bruisers, they're the fiercest attackers. (You might also note that they're the only Pikmin with noses. The yellow ones have ears and the blues[sic] ones have mouths. We think that stuff on the purple Pikmin is hair.)”
Nintendo Power issue 184
“Your Pikmin collection begins with fiery red sprouts. They're tough and too fearless for their own good. Wherever you lead them, they will follow, even if it's into an impossibly dangerous situation.”
“Of the original Pikmin types—red, blue and yellow—red Pikmin are the most powerful. Use them to pummel enemies.”
“Fiery Blowhogs and flame-spitting geysers are not an issue when you've got red Pikmin. Whereas other Pikmin would go up in smoke, reds walk through blazes with no consequence.”
Nintendo Official Magazine UK issue 145
“Red: Immune to Fire
Talents: Flame-resistant fighters. When these guys go to war, you'd better run.

Pikmin 2 Nintendo Player's Guide
“The first Pikmin you'll befriend have a rosy glow and a resistance to extreme heat. Red Pikmin cannot be harmed by fire, which makes them your number-one choice for dealing with flaming spouts and Fiery Blowhogs. While other Pikmin will run around with their leaves ablaze and eventually go up in smoke, the reds will remain intact.”

Super Smash Bros. Brawl trophy
“A type of Pikmin--which are odd beings who grow like plants yet are as mobile as animals. Red ones are heat and fire resistant and are strong attackers, which makes them valuable when facing dangerous foes. Purple Pikmin are also tough fighters, but since it's difficult to increase their numbers, red Pikmin are easier to manage. Red Pikmin have distinct pointed noses.”
