* InfinityPlusOneElement: Like their precursors, the Bulbmin, they have an immunity to all hazards, with the new ability to teleport to their captain when they finish their tasks, which no other Pikmin can do. This is tempered by the fact that they're only usable in caves and require consummable seeds to summon.

* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: In ''Pikmin 2,'' they're referred to internally as "Black Pikmin," and their color in that game especially is very dark. Not to mention debuting alongside White Pikmin, implying a black/white duo. Later games just call them Purples internally and make their color much more robustly purple instead of blackish purple.

These are the third Pikmin type discovered in ''Pikmin 3'' (after Yellow and Red Pikmin), and true to their name, they are a sort of parasitic Pikmin encased in rocks. They don't cling to enemies when thrown, but the impact still causes damage and they can smash crystalline objects with ease. They are also immune to being stabbed and crushed, although they can be killed by the latter if it happens while they're standing on a hard surface.

They don't cling to enemies when thrown, but the impact still causes damage and they can smash crystalline objects with ease. They are also immune to being stabbed stabbing and crushed, crushing attacks, although they can be killed by the latter if it happens while they're standing on a hard surface.



* NoSell: If they're hit by an attack that would crush Pikmin, they are merely reburied temporarily. They're also immune to attacks that skewer Pikmin. ''4'' nerfs this ability by making it only occur on soft ground. On hard surfaces, their bodies can't handle the pressure and crack apart.

A type of parasitic Pikmin encased in ice. They are weaker than other Pikmin and are extremely vulnerable to fire, but are resistant to ice and cannot be frozen, can float in and freeze bodies of water like ice cubes, and freeze enemies solid either by attacking or getting eaten by them.
