A golden Pikpik carrot with the box in which it was transported
Golden Pikpik carrots are completely gold, even the leafy stem, and a little longer then normal ones. They have three curled roots instead of the basic cone-shaped root seen on a normal Pikpik carrot. Olimar named the Pikmin after them, because the Pikmin looked like them.
On one occasion, a precious shipment of more than 10,100 Pokos' worth of golden Pikpik carrots were sent with Louie to be shipped somewhere, but Louie ate these and returned with a misleading report that a space bunny ate them, so he could avoid getting reprimanded or fired.
