Pikmin are the [[plant]]/animal hybrids that were discovered by Captain Olimar when he crash-landed on the planet. The Pikmin willingly follow his orders and imitate his movements in the face of whatever fate may await them. Each species of Pikmin has weaknesses and strengths and all three Pikmin must be used in cooperation in order to collect all of the missing ship parts. The Pikmin are relatively short creatures and stand at a height of about one inch. Very few clues are provided of their physical elements. All Pikmin in general have a head, two eyes, a torso, two feet, and two arms; all three Pikmin are noticeably slender and very fragile thin beings, thus making it apparent that they can easily be harmed, and must be protected at whatever means necessary in order to survive. The facial appearances of Pikmin are a mystery, as they all have huge eyes, and round black pupils, and they always stare at Captain Olimar, or whoever for whatever reason, with a very strange look. Each species of Pikmin also has unique appearances: [[Red Pikmin]] have a long pointy nose, [[Yellow Pikmin]] have large sail-like ears which catch wind currents and allow them to soar higher when [[throw]]n, and [[Blue Pikmin]] have not mouths, but gills that have allowed them to survive and live in aquatic habitats.

The Pikmin are relatively short creatures and stand at a height of about one inch. Pikmin reside in pod-like structures called [[Onions]]. Pikmin are very interactive creatures, for they interact and socialize with themselves, regardless what species of Pikmin interact with, but will focus all attention on Olimar when needed. Pikmin naturally form groups of their own type when dismissed but cooperate with the other types of Pikmin in battles, [[carrying]] dead enemies, and other tasks.

===Onions===
[[File:PikCarryPellet.jpg|thumb|Pikmin carrying a Pellet]]
[[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] live in pods called [[Onions]], which bear a resemblance to the earthly vegetable, which Olimar named after Hocotatian onions. Each Onion is a specific color; so far red, blue, and yellow are the only known Pikmin Onions. Each Onion is home to the Pikmin of the same color, and Pikmin will never enter a foreign colored Onion. Onions propagate more Pikmin by having them carry the carcasses of dead creatures or by carrying [[pellet]]s to the Onions.
 
The number of Pikmin that are allowed on the field is 100. This is due to limit the processor load of the Gamecube's CPU, and to make the game more challenging. Why this limit exists, however, is not explained in the game itself. It is merely [[Ship's Log|noted]] by Olimar, and he himself may possibly not know why.
 
There are many Onions seen in the Happy Ending of ''Pikmin'', but it is unknown if these types of Pikmin will be seen in ''Pikmin'' sequels.
 
===The kinds of Pikmin===
====[[Red Pikmin]]====
Red Pikmin were the first type of Pikmin that are encountered by Captain Olimar, at The Impact Site. They are used to retrieve the [[Main Engine]], since they are the only Pikmin that you have at the time. Red Pikmin are resistant to fire and are the strongest of all the Pikmin found in the game. They are also distinguished from other Pikmin because of a pointed nose-like growth, which they presumably use as spikes in battle, giving them a slight edge over Blue and Yellow Pikmin.

====[[Yellow Pikmin]]====
====Yellow Pikmin====
Yellow Pikmin are the second Pikmin revealed by Olimar, which was in the [[The Forest of Hope]], the second accessible area in the game. Yellow Pikmin are the only Pikmin with the ability to carry [[bomb-rocks]], and have very large sail-like ears, which they use as glider wings, allowing them to be thrown very high. Yellow Pikmin are known for their ears, and are much lighter than the other Pikmin.

Yellow Pikmin are the only Pikmin with the ability to carry [[bomb-rocks]] (in this game), and have very large sail-like ears, which they use as glider wings, allowing them to be thrown very high. Yellow Pikmin are known for their ears, and are much lighter than the other Pikmin.  
====[[Blue Pikmin]]====

====Blue Pikmin====
{{main|Blue Pikmin}}
Blue Pikmin are the third and last kind of Pikmin found in the game. They are located in [[The Forest Navel]], the third accessible area in the game. Blue Pikmin are the only species of Pikmin that can move around in bodies of water, thanks to their gills. When non-blue Pikmin fall in the water, blue Pikmin will run to them and [[throw]] them out of the water, saving their lives. This is popularly known as the "lifeguard" ability.
