He can be taught skills such as increasing his strength, allowing him to use the [[Go Here!]] function, or unlocking the ability to pluck. Just like the player character, he can call back Pikmin, but he uses a bark instead of a [[whistle]]. He can also throw Pikmin using his mouth. However, it is currently unknown if he ever gains the ability to [[charge]] or [[swarm]] Pikmin. | ||

While not explicitly stated, it is highly likely these are castaways somehow biology transformed to fit the hazardous environment and atmosphere of PNF-404. One of the leaflings notably closely resembles Captain Olimar, and commands Moss, the space dog Olimar possesses in the tutorial. | ||

In ''Pikmin 3'', Brittany has a minor special role at the [[Formidable Oak]] since she's the one the Pikmin will initially follow. If she falls, [[Captain Charlie]] will take her place, and then [[Alph]]. Charlie's frame is also larger, and when he [[Throw|holds on]] to another leader or Pikmin, they're actually a bit further outward than with Alph or Brittany. In the original ''Pikmin 3'', this makes Captain Charlie ideal for releasing Pikmin or leaders [[out of bounds|through walls]]. | In ''Pikmin 3'', Brittany has a minor special role at the [[Formidable Oak]] since she's the one the Pikmin will initially follow.

In ''Pikmin 4'', | In ''Pikmin 4'', the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] and [[Oatchi]] have many major differences. Oatchi can jump, charge himself at enemies, and bite enemies if he has no Pikmin. Also, the Pikmin in Oatchi's squad stay on his back instead of following him. In addition, Oatchi cannot pluck at first, and it is unknown if he can ever [[charge]] Pikmin, or [[swarm]] them. The player character can pluck from the start, and can unlock [[charge]] and [[swarm]], but cannot jump, charge themselves, or bite. Their Pikmin also follow behind them unlike [[Oatchi]]. | ||
