'''Leafling''' ({{j|葉っぱ人|Happa Jin|Leaf Man}}) is the name given to characters that cannot be identified because their heads are entirely covered by leaves. Their ID badges are unreadable due to corrupted biometric data, listing their name as "???" or "Error" and their home planet as [[PNF-404]]. [[#Leafling Olimar|Olimar as a leafling]] can be seen kidnapping a [[castaway]], dragging it into an Onion, and making it pop out as a leafling. He justifies this by saying that those that don't embrace [[Dandori]] cannot survive in the planet, but they thrive instead if they have the leaves. This is presumably how leaflings are made, and [[Dingo]] speculates that [[Yonny]], the [[Rescue Corps]] doctor, might be able to help bring them back to normal.

'''Leaflings''' ({{j|葉っぱ人|Happa Jin|Leaf Man}}) are characters in {{p4}} that cannot be identified because their heads are entirely covered by leaves. Their ID badges are unreadable due to corrupted biometric data, listing their name as "???" or "Error" and their home planet as [[PNF-404]]. They can be found in [[Dandori Challenge]]s, [[Dandori Battle]]s, and a few [[cave]]s, and can be converted back into regular characters by curing them with [[glow sap]].


Leafling castaways can be rescued from [[Dandori Challenge]]s and [[Dandori Battle]]s, both of which are issued by characters that are themselves leaflings. In this state, leafling characters are unable to speak in normal sentences, instead using simple words and small sentences at a time, and are obsessed with Dandori. They will hand over the leafling castaways they have, or fall unconscious so they can be rescued themselves, if they witness a good display of Dandori in their challenges or battles. Glow sap from a [[Lumiknoll]] can be made into medicine by [[Yonny]] that dissolves the leaves, reverting the leaflings to their normal state.
The biology of leaflings is unknown. [[#Leafling Olimar|Olimar as a leafling]] can be seen kidnapping a [[castaway]], dragging it into an [[Onion]], and making it pop out as a leafling. He justifies this by saying that those that do not embrace [[dandori]] cannot survive in the planet, but they thrive instead if they have the leaves. This process is how leaflings are made. [[Dandori Challenge]]s and most [[Dandori Battle]]s are run by characters that are themselves leaflings. In this state, leafling characters are unable to speak in normal sentences, instead using simple words and small sentences at a time, and are obsessed with dandori. They will hand over the leafling castaways they have, or fall unconscious so they can be rescued themselves, if they witness a good display of dandori in their challenges or battles. Like normal castaways, they [[weight|weigh]] 3 units when [[carry|carried]], with a maximum carrier count of 6. [[Glow sap]] from a [[Lumiknoll]] can be made into medicine by Yonny that dissolves the leaves, reverting the leaflings to their normal state.


Following his curing, Olimar believes that Leaflings may have had Pikmin DNA incorporated into their bodies after being taken into an [[Onion]], triggering their physical and psychological changes and causing them to rapidly sicken if they try to leave [[PNF-404]]. Although he does not know what purpose this "Pikmin-ification' might have, he speculates that the Pikmin may be trying to create a permanent [[leader]] for themselves.
According to dialogue from cured characters{{cite quote|My memories from my time as a leafling are rather vague... The one thing I do remember is the sense of feeling trapped becoming stronger. It's like I was locked up inside of a dark cave.|Boris after being cured|''Pikmin 4''}}, they do not remember the majority of their time as leaflings (excluding the obsession with dandori{{cite quote|While I had leaves on the brain, my head couldn't stop thinking about Dandori...|Bernard after being cured|''Pikmin 4''}}{{cite quote|When I was leafified, I could not stop thinking about the art of Dandori. It was like an endless meditation.|Jin after being cured|''Pikmin 4''}}). However, they can regain some memories with effort{{cite quote|When I was a leafling, I saw something that still nags at me. Perhaps if I search my memories, I could piece it together...|Captain Olimar after being cured|''Pikmin 4''}}. Additionally, they retain the personalities they had before being transformed.

{{Spoiler|''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} main story}}
There are 21 curable leaflings in the game: 12 from [[Dandori Challenge]]s, 4 from [[Dandori Battle]]s, and 5 from [[cave]]s. The Dandori Challenge leaflings stand outside a specific challenge location. When the player approaches, a cutscene will play in which the leafling jumps into the cave. Inside that cave, the leafling will watch the player attempt the challenge, and if it is cleared with at least a bronze medal, the leafling will fall unconscious, and upon exiting the challenge, the unconscious leafling will exit too, and can be carried back to the S.S. Beagle overground, upon which it will be rescued.


=== Dandori cave Leaflings ===
Three of the four Dandori Battle leaflings are initially seen as regular [[castaway]]s outside the Dandori Battles in the first three areas, standing next to a mysterious red leafling which takes them inside in a cutscene when the player approaches. Inside, they are converted to leaflings by the red leafling. Upon beating the red leafling in the battle, the other leafling will come out of the cave with the player, and can be carried back to the S.S. Beagle overground, upon which it will be rescued. The fourth Dandori Battle leafling is the red leafling, and upon beating it in the fourth area's Dandori Battle, that leafing will come out of the cave and can be rescued.
Leaflings can be found inside of both [[Dandori Challenge]] and [[Dandori Battle]] caves. They often speak in broken english always centered around the concept of Dandori.


In Dandori Challenge caves, they act as hosts and comment on the player's Dandori skills as they progress. The first of these, seen in the [[Dandori Day Care]] explains that the caves serve as a test designed to develop one's Dandori skills. After completing the challenge, the Leafling faint from how quickly the player worked, and can be brought back to the surface and carried to the S.S. Beagle.
The cave leaflings are found in specific sublevels of caves, and are rescued in the same way as castaways, by carrying them to the S.S. Beagle on the sublevel.


In Dandori Battle caves, they act as prizes. The [[Leafling#Leafling Olimar|red Leafling]] carries them from the surface and converts them into Leaflings using their onion. The player can rescue them only if they can defeat them in a Dandori battle. If they are defeated, they surrender the Leafling, who can be taken back to the surface and carried to the S.S. Beagle. In [[Hot Sandy Duel]] and [[Final Battle]], the player instead saves [[Yorke]] and [[Nelle]], who (thanks to their consumption of the Glow Sap prior) are immune to becoming Leaflings.
The following table lists the leaflings and their locations, in the order the locations are listed in the [[area selection menu]].

A red leafling that has [[Captain Olimar]]'s suit, nose, and voice. Unlike the prior leaflings, he uses correct grammar, though still obsesses over the idea of dandori. He is usually seen accompanied (and later guarded) by [[Moss]]. Both are seen stealing castaways and turning them into leaflings via their Onion, as they believe that those who are not leaflings cannot survive this planet. The mysterious duo challenges the player to rounds of [[Dandori Battle]]s, returning the castaways they steal only when the player wins. They are first battled in [[Trial Run]], [[Battle in a Box]], and [[Dandori Castle]].

=== Castaway Leaflings ===
In [[Hero's Hideaway]], he is revealed to be Olimar himself through various late entries in [[Pikmin 4 voyage log|his voyage log]]. After opening the [[safe]] he is inside, he challenges the player to one more battle, [[Leafy Showdown]]. Once he is defeated, he has no castaway to give and instead falls unconscious to be rescued as Moss runs away. Once he is rescued and cured, he reverts back to his usual non-leafling self.
Later in the game, [[castaway]]s found in caves will instead be Leaflings. They behave identical to a standard castaway, though they now must be cured with Glow Sap like the prior type of Leaflings. The order of which you cure leaflings will remain unchanged by this different method of obtaining them. The location for these leaflings are as follows:


*[[Plunder Palace]], Sublevel 5 - being dragged or buried by a [[Giant Breadbug]].
[[Louie]] later finds the abandoned Moss and takes over Olimar's role as a Dandori Battle opponent.
*[[Doppelgänger's Den]], Sublevel 4 - inside a group of [[pots]], which are behind a [[gate]] opened by defeating a [[Gildemander]].
*[[Frozen Inferno]], Sublevel 4 - behind a gate opened by defeating a [[Snowfake Fluttertail]].
*[[Ultimate Testing Range]], Sublevel 3 - stuck to a [[Arachnode]]'s web.
*[[Dream Home]], Sublevel 1 - inside a [[Mammoth Snootwhacker]].


=== Leafling Olimar ===
=== Sage Leaf ===
[[File:Leaf-a-mar.png|100px|thumb|Leafling Olimar's ID Badge.]]
[[File:Sage Leaf fullbody.png|128px|thumb|The Sage Leaf standing upright.]]
A red leafling that has [[Captain Olimar]]'s suit, nose, and voice. Unlike the prior Leaflings, he uses correct grammar, though still obsesses over the idea of Dandori. He is usually seen accompanied (and later guarded) by [[Moss]]. Both are seen stealing castaways and turning them into Leaflings via their onion, as they believe that those who are not Leaflings cannot survive this planet. The mysterious duo challenges the player to rounds of [[Dandori Battle]]s, returning the castaways they steal only when the player wins. They are first battled in [[Trial Run]], [[Battle in a Box]], and [[Dandori Castle]].
The Sage Leaf is a white leafling found in a hidden cave in the [[Rescue Command Post]], which is only revealed after completing [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]]. They oversee the [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]], a series of ten complex [[Dandori Challenge]]s with varied objectives. Like the red leafling (Olimar), they speak normally.


In [[Hero's Hideaway]], he is revealed to be Olimar himself through various late entries in the [[Pikmin 4 voyage log|his voyage log]]. After opening the [[safe]] he is inside, he challenges to one more battle, [[Leafy Showdown]]. Once he is defeated, he has no castaway to give and instead falls unconscious to be rescued as Moss runs away. Once he is rescued and cured, he reverts back to his usual non-leafling self, though seems able to recall aspects of his time as a Leafling.
Though they refuse to be rescued or cured, they will reward the player with the White [[Onion]] and Purple Onion upon completing their fifth and tenth trials respectively. Recompleting the fifth and tenth trials will reward the player 10 White Pikmin and Purple Pikmin respectively. It remains unknown who this Sage Leaf was before they became a leafling (the Sage Leaf has long since forgotten their former identity and says that they have no desire to reclaim it), but given their old age, it would seem they have been one for a long time.


His role as a Dandori Battle opponent is later taken over by [[Louie]] and Moss.
===Space dogs===
The space dog [[Moss]] is affected by a similar condition to humanoid leaflings: she has a leaf on the tip of her tail, cannot leave PNF-404 without falling seriously ill and shares some of her DNA with the Pikmin. Her backstory is unknown, but Olimar believes she has been this way since birth.{{cite quote|As far as I can tell, Moss has been a leafling pup since birth, and some of her DNA resembles that of the Pikmin.|Captain Olimar|his Piklopedia notes for Moss}}


=== Sage Leaf ===
After Bernard has been cured, the Rescue Pup [[Oatchi]] grows a leaf on his tail similar to that of Moss. This becomes a problem when the Rescue Corps has rescued Olimar but cannot leave PNF-404 without Oatchi suffering the same symptoms that other leaflings would. After acquiring the [[Gift of Friendship]], Yonny extracts some of the [[Ancient Sirehound]]'s cells from the collar and makes a special cure that reverts Oatchi to normal.

== Cure order ==
Like [[castaway]]s, leaflings are cured in a particular order no matter where they are found. While leaflings are cured in the order that they are rescued, the character that they are cured into depends on how many leaflings have been cured. However, this system is complicated by [[Dandori Battle]]s. As completing Dandori Battles is necessary to progress the story, leaflings from these locations have priority to be cured over leaflings from [[Dandori Challenge]]s or [[cave]]s. Upon completing a [[night expedition]] and getting glow sap, if Dandori Battle leaflings are waiting to be cured, they will be cured first in their cure order, followed by other leaflings in their cure order. If a Dandori Battle is completed but the leafling from that location is not rescued, then a leafling from elsewhere will instead be cured into the next character in the Dandori Battle cure order.


== Rescue order ==
The hair color of a cured character depends on the leafling they were cured from, so each of these characters can have one of five hair colors. (In the table below, the hair colors are based on the assumption that the player completed the caves, challenges, and battles in the order they're listed on the [[area selection menu]].) Like castaways, each character has a defined suit color, but that suit color will instead be red if the player selects that character's defined color to be the Rescue Corps suit color.
{{stub|fill in the rest of the table}}
Like [[Castaway#Rescue order|Castaway]]s, leaflings are rescued and cured in a particular order no matter where they are found. It should be noted that leaflings are cured in the same order they are rescued.

{{stub|fill in the rest of the table}}
The only exception to the order of leaflings are those rescued from [[Dandori Battle]] caves, who have their own order. When being cured, they take precedence over normal leaflings found as castaways or for completing [[Dandori Challenge]] caves. All four must be rescued to progress the game's story. As stated above, their role is filled by [[Yorke]] and [[Nelle]] in later Dandori Battle caves, who do not need to be cured.

== Trivia ==
== Trivia ==
* Many of the leaflings share colors with Pikmin types: red, green, white, blue, purple, and pink. The only color that isn't a Pikmin type is orange, although it's arguable that it's yellow, or amber (the color between orange and yellow).
* The concept of Olimar being turned into a Pikmin-like creature was introduced in the "bad" ending of the first ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', in which the Pikmin carry an unconscious Olimar to the Red Onion, which absorbs him and releases an Olimar head-shaped Pikmin seed. The scene of Olimar becoming a leafling in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] mirrors this sequence.
*Technically, leaflings debuted back in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', in the bad ending. If Olimar fails to collect enough necessary ship parts before the 30-day time limit runs out, Olimar will be forced to try to leave the planet, only to fail and crash-land. The [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] then take Olimar to an Onion, making him to sprout out of the Onion with a Pikmin sprout on top of his head. Fans have dubbed this version of Olimar [[Pikmar]] or Olimin.
**It should be noted that this exact scene will occur if the player fails to collect all the ship parts in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] on time.
