Pikmin start off as seeds ejected from the Onion, which, after landing on the ground, transform into sprouts. A [[leader]] must [[pluck]] a sprout so that the Pikmin may come out. While idle, the Pikmin's leaves and flowers glow that Pikmin's respective color; that, coupled with a [[cutscene]] at the end of ''Pikmin 2'', would suggest that Pikmin are somehow bioluminescent, though what causes this and what function it might serve in the wild has never been explained.

Regular Pikmin are able to [[Carrying|carry]] (at least) ten times their own weight, as evidenced by the ability of [[Blue Pikmin]] to lift and toss heavy [[Purple Pikmin]] when they are drowning in water. Pikmin are also capable of basic speech and can even be heard saying English phrases like "Ok!" and "Yahoo!" after being [[pluck]]ed from the ground. When in a group they will sometimes [[Easter eggs|sing]] parts of ''[[Ai no Uta]]'' in ''Pikmin 2''. If left idle for a long time, Pikmin will moan at each other. From what is heard, it can be assumed that Pikmin language is very simple and primitive.
