'''Rock Pikmin''' are a species of [[Pikmin]] featured in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. They resemble small polished rocks with Pikmin eyes, limbs, and, just like the [[Unknown "Pink" Pikmin|Winged Pikmin]], lavender flowers. The main part of their body seems to be a grey texture of graphite that reflects light, while the 'skin' on their arms and legs appears to be smooth and gray. When Rock Pikmin are dismissed, their sprouts glow | '''Rock Pikmin''' are a species of [[Pikmin]] featured in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''.

The main part of their body seems to be a grey texture of graphite that reflects light, while the 'skin' on their arms and legs appears to be smooth and gray. When Rock Pikmin are dismissed, their sprouts glow grayish white. Their ghosts are also shaped like small gray rocks with eyes. Just like all other types of Pikmin in ''Pikmin 3'', Rock Pikmin share an [[Onion]] and are reproduced through collecting nutrients from Pellets and corpses. | ||
Rock Pikmin are the second type of Pikmin [[Alph]] discovers in ''Pikmin 3'', the first being [[Red Pikmin]]. | Rock Pikmin are the second type of Pikmin [[Alph]] discovers in ''Pikmin 3'', the first being [[Red Pikmin]]. | ||

Rock Pikmin, like most Pikmin types, are immune to a specific hazard. These Pikmin, in particular, are immune to blunt force; when crushed by a large object, they are simply driven into the ground and become sprouts again. When a creature with a sharp proboscis tries to impale them, they are simply knocked back without taking damage. | Rock Pikmin, like most Pikmin types, are immune to a specific hazard. These Pikmin, in particular, are immune to blunt force; when crushed by a large object, they are simply driven into the ground and become sprouts again or pop right back up..

Rock Pikmin have very dense exteriors, which allows them to smash through glass, crystals, ice, and even the armor of larger animals (like the [[Armored Mawdad]] and the [[Peckish Aristocrab|Peckish Aristocrab's]] claw). However, they do not sink in water, revealing that they do not weigh much. | Rock Pikmin have very dense exteriors, which allows them to smash through glass, crystals, ice, and even the armor of larger animals (like the [[Armored Mawdad]] and the [[Peckish Aristocrab|Peckish Aristocrab's]] claw). However, they do not sink in water, revealing that they do not weigh much.(Note that they still drown) | ||
While Rock Pikmin are stronger in terms of density, they weigh the same as a normal Pikmin, which means that, while they can be thrown normally, each one only counts for a single Pikmin while carrying items; although they carry objects faster than the average Pikmin due to their strength, much like [[White Pikmin]].<ref>http://youtu.be/RbjvWiqeKHo?t=3m30s</ref>. | While Rock Pikmin are stronger in terms of density, they weigh the same as a normal Pikmin, which means that, while they can be thrown normally, each one only counts for a single Pikmin while carrying items; although they carry objects faster than the average Pikmin due to their strength, much like [[White Pikmin]].<ref>http://youtu.be/RbjvWiqeKHo?t=3m30s</ref>. | ||

Despite their increased strength, they ''do'' have a setback; Rock Pikmin cannot latch onto their targets like other Pikmin, and will instead bounce off and roll back. Instead, if left unoccupied, they will repeatedly attack enemies and obstacles by charging head-on into them.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEbUujVkHWU&t=1m33s Pikmin 3 Demo at E3 2012]</ref> Rock Pikmin occasionally unleash a more powerful attack to targets they hit by causing a visual and audible "thump," which causes extra damage. However, this "thump," unlike [[Purple Pikmin]], does not stun enemies, but it can cause certain enemies to recoil. | Despite their increased strength, they ''do'' have a setback; Rock Pikmin cannot latch onto their targets like other Pikmin, and will instead bounce off and roll back.

The Rock Pikmin are discovered in the [[Garden of Hope]], the second area in ''Pikmin 3''. They are found in a cave located north of the landing site. Residing in this cave is a [[Medusal Slurker]] that contains 6 Rock Pikmin. After [[File:Rock-Pikmin1.jpg|thumb|First discovering Rock Pikmin]]defeating it, the player can use the newly-discovered Pikmin species to free the Gray [[Onion]] from a [[Obstacles#Crystal|large crystal]]. After propogating enough Rock Pikmin, they can be used to break down the glass wall outside of the cave and free [[Brittany]]. | The Rock Pikmin are discovered in the [[Garden of Hope]], the second area in ''Pikmin 3''.
