[[File:Red Onion.png|thumb|300px|A Red Onion.]]The '''Onions''' are the nests appertaining to the [[Pikmin (Species)|Pikmin]]. Olimar appelated them extremely as of their affinity to a legume native to his [[Hocotate|home planet]]. There are four known types of Onion nests, each with unique coloration corresponding to either [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]], [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]], or [[Winged Pikmin]]. Only one of each has ever been seen. Subterranean Pikmin species such as [[Purple Pikmin]], [[White Pikmin]] and [[Bulbmin]] do not have Onions, or at least none that have yet been discovered. (It is very likely that the [[Bulbmin]] will not have Onions. However, the Purples and Whites may possibly have them in the upcoming game.) Also, when you stand under one, it make a sqeaking sound, leading to the thought the onion is half plant half animal like ths pikmin.

In Pikmin 3, all Pikmin types share the same Onion. (Though it isn't known if [[Purple Pikmin]] and [[White Pikmin]] will reside in this Onion.)

==Appearance==
These bulbous plant-hives have brightly-colored bodies with a black-and-white band across the midsection. On the top, there is a big flower, just like the ones that Pikmin have. At the spots the Onions land at the start of each day, there are concentric circles on the ground, which are never referred to in-game. Three stilt-like legs suspend the Onions out of the reach of hungry predators, and provide access to the inside for Pikmin. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Olimar states that he inspected the Onion's legs, and saw they were covered with tiny little hairs, possibly to help the Pikmin climb out.

[[Image:Dormant Onion.jpg|thumb|right|120px|A dormant Onion in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'']] Onions have different appearences before they are discovered. They are darker in coloration, have no flowers on top, and the legs are sticking into the ground. When Captain Olimar's approaches them, they explode with color, and the flower blooms. The flower begins to spin rapidly, pulling out the legs.

In [[Pikmin 3]], we see that an unknown (or Winged Pikmin's equivelant) onion's legs resemble glowing, root like appendages. Judging from the shadow, the flower on top of the onion has grown in size too. However, this design change may not hold true for all onions, as it may just be exclusive to the [[Winged Pikmin]] alone.
In [[Pikmin 3]], we see that the new Onion has yellow, glowing, root-like appendages. It's flower also looks organic and rugged, though the rest of the top-half has a mechanical appearance.
