m (THis is way too speculative, the new fur in the snagret apperanyly gives it added defense because after its gone, the winged pikmin take it down pretty fast, but the first trailer didnt show this, making them look weak, best to leave it unknown)

They also have very large heads, small arms and legs, two large blue compound eyes, and small transparent wings. Upon maturing, they sport the lavender [[Sutera cordata|Sutera Cordata]]. As their name implies, they have the ability to fly. They are constantly in flight, and can easily attack airborne creatures in large groups, such as the [[Swooping Snitchbug]] and the [[Puffy Blowhog]]. Their most useful ability is that they can carry items above the ground and over hazards.
|throw=Average
==Abilities==
|carry=1
Winged Pikmin are capable of flight, and are always flying in the air. They can carry items above the ground and also appear to be able to automatically dodge falling objects. Winged Pikmin are small and fast, allowing them to keep up with the captains at a steady pace. Due to their constant airborne status, they can follow captains even if they're walking in an area inaccessable to most Pikmin types, such as a small pond or other body of water. It is currently unknown if there will be any way to cause Winged Pikmin to become grounded temporarily.

'''Winged Pikmin''' are a Pikmin species that first appears in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''; they were revealed in a Nintendo Direct broadcast on 17th April 2013<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/archive/04-17-2013/ Winged Pikmin - Nintendo Direct]</ref> as the eighth Pikmin type. They are pink with large blue eyes, their bodies are striped in darker pink, and they have purple flowers like [[Rock Pikmin]].  Members of this species possess insect-like wings, and so have the ability to hover over obstacles, carry objects over water, and easily combat flying enemies.
Due to their constant flying, they must be called by holding the whistle button for slightly longer than normal, which will summon a cylindrical beam of light that will call the Winged Pikmin.
 
==Trivia==
* In the early days following ''Pikmin 3'''s formal introduction, speculation was thrown around as to what the pink-colored Pikmin were, or if they were even Pikmin. It took 9 whole months before they were finally revealed to be Winged Pikmin in Nintendo's April edition of Nintendo Direct.
*In the happy ending to the first [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]] game, there are fourteen multicolored onions flying above the planet's atmosphere. Five of these onions were pink.
*The Winged Pikmin are the second Pikmin type, the first being [[White Pikmin]], to feature compound eyes.
*Winged Pikmin have dark stripes on their bodies which make them resemble bees. They are the first and only known species of Pikmin who have an additional color pattern on their bodies, rather than just being monochromatic.
*Winged Pikmin carry objects from the top rather than the bottom in order to fly with it.
*If there are more Winged Pikmin in ratio to all other Pikmin on an item, they will lift the item up carrying both the object and the Pikmin, who will eventually fall off.
*If there are less Winged pikmin carrying an object than ground based Pikmin, then the object will be carried normally across the ground, the Winged Pikmin adding to number carrying it.
