The '''Onions''' are the nests of the [[Pikmin (Species)|Pikmin]]. Olimar named them so because of their resemblance to a vegetable native to his [[Hocotate|home planet]]. These bulbous plant-hives have brightly-colored bodies with a black-and-white band across the midsection. | The '''Onions''' are the nests of the [[Pikmin (Species)|Pikmin]]. Olimar named them so because of their resemblance to a vegetable native to his [[Hocotate|home planet]]. These bulbous plant-hives have brightly-colored bodies with a black-and-white band across the midsection. Three stilt-like legs suspend the Onions out of the reach of hungry predators, and provide access to the inside for Pikmin. In Pikmin 1, Olimar states that he inspected the Onion's legs, and saw they were covered with tiny little hairs. There are three known types of Onion, each with unique coloration corresponding to either [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]] or [[Blue Pikmin]], and 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. | ||

During the daytime, Pikmin hunt and bring food, such as [[pellet]]s or slain beasts, to the Onion, which in turn produces new Pikmin seeds. If there are fewer than 100 Pikmin on the field, the seeds are ejected and take root in the ground, but if not, they are stored inside the Onion, along with any other Pikmin not on the field. When night falls and all the Pikmin have returned, the Onion folds its legs and lifts off from the ground, presumably using its flower petals like rotor blades to propel itself into the low atmosphere, where it hovers until daybreak. If an Onion loses all its Pikmin, it will produce a single seed the following day to prevent extinction. | During the daytime, Pikmin hunt and bring food, such as [[pellet]]s or slain beasts, to the Onion, which in turn produces new Pikmin seeds.
