'''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 indigo flowers like [[Rock Pikmin]].  


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. They are needed to hold open fence gates.

==Abilities==
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 inaccessible 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 have insect-like wings, meaning they can fly and carry objects over water. They are immune to attacks close to the ground. Their ability to fly allows them to attack flying enemies easily and lift gates and [[Flukeweed]]s out of the ground. However, they cannot instantly take down a [[Pellet Posy]] when tossed onto its pellet, and if their [[leader]] is underwater they cannot be thrown.

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.
 
Because these Pikmin can fly when they are thrown at something they home in on it so not to miss the thing they are trying to fight or collect. This is extremely useful when battling a creature who moves around a lot

==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. Though, unlike the White Pikmin, the Winged Pikmin do not use their eyes to find items that are hidden underground.
*Winged Pikmin have dark stripes on their bodies which make them resemble bees. This color pattern makes their bodies non-monochromatic, a trait uncommon in most Pikmin types. White Pikmin also seem to have this trait to a certain extent, as they exhibit a purplish tint at the ends of their limbs.
*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.
*When Winged Pikmin die, they have two death sounds.
*On Nintendo's website for the game, Winged Pikmin are called ''Flying Pikmin.''
