I really do hope we actually get to see what this elusive beast looks like in some future game...

I made Pikmin enemies out of food on stream! Livestream VOD

(individual pictures/in-game references below the cut)

Everything is made with chocolate, candy, chocolate cream-filled cookies, and homemade marshmallow/crispy rice treats!

I didn't realize the Beady Long Legs coloring was red because my reference image was greyscale LOL

I don't think I can physically explain how much I love this. Do you understand??? Can you feel my adoration for this piece through your screen??? Can you?????

*inhales*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA—

I haven't done a new poster in almost 2 years, but I've been wanting to do this Pikmin art for a long long time!!! Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE PIKMIN!!! ❤️💛💙

Lil tip from me: don't cook solely by one silly recipe that's from a fantasy game but...

Anyway! Today I tried my hand at Louie's Female Sheargrub Quiche!

I've made a lot of mistakes and forgot some stuff but in the end I had something that worked out and tasted not too bad actually!

More details about my cooking experiment, as I'd like to call it, under the cut.

First of all, use a real quiche recipe. Additionally to what he mentions you'd need quiche dough (selfmade or store bought) and heavy cream (I didn't had any so I had to improvise with milk and flour, yikes...).

Everything went quite well actually. Most of it was improvising and guessing and just hoping it'll turn out in some bearable way tho...

Alright. As I obviously couldn't find and use real shearbugs I got creative. I used chicken meat and rubbed it in some hazelnuts cuz google said insects may taste a bit like nuts. I don't know if this somehow helped. (Some years ago a store was selling some mealworms and lil grasshoppers iirc. If it would still have sold them and I would have cooked for me alone and not had that eating fear anymore, I'd probably have taken those).

So I was roasting the meat and cutting the veggies and the cheese. Instead of swiss cheese I had to use gouda as I couldn't find any (google said gouda is an alternative so that's why I took that). That's where I made a mistake. I actually had to grate the gouda cheese. But it wasn't that bad of a mistake I think.

Everything (meat, veggies, cheese) had to be put into a big bowl then. You crack the eggs into it together with the cream and stir it.

Lastly, when you've put the dough in the form, you pour the mass onto it and spread it equally out. Then you put it in the oven for ~35 mins to ~170°C.

After a long odyssey I can tell you that the devs did put thought into their game Louie's a good cook. It did taste quite good!

But again, use a real recipe and take his only as an inspiration.

Let me know if you want to see more pikmin species based posts and if so let me know which species you want

What's better than a picture that has Pikmin vibes? Why, a picture that also has actual Pikmin as well, of course!

Made a drawing inspired by a fic I made. It's a female Sheargrub from Pikmin. Taken in by the Player Character in Pikmin 4.

Her name is Sheeba :)

Sorry I can't draw the mouth. Also, the yellow is the color of the room wall.

I guess I can show all the creatures that are in Pikmin 4. Amazing they are so cute until they start attacking and eating the Pikmin.

I want to go through all of the Pikmin creatures, giving my thoughts on them and go a little into my headcanons on their biology and behavior. While I won’t be going in any real order, I think the best place to start is with. Them.

The common bulborb, Oculus Kageyamii Russus, is a nocturnal predator common in PNF-404’s forests. They sleep for most of the day, but start to get active around dusk and hunt throughout the rest of the night. They hunt small animals trying to return to their nests at night. Based on their size and habitat, I assume their usual prey items to be sheargrubs, skitterleaves, potentially flint beetles, young or weak fiery blow hogs, and of course Pikmin. Bulborbs live in small packs of 3-5, which hunt together and communally raise offspring. Pregnant bulborbs form egg sacs within their abdomens, through which they give live birth. These young larvae are buried in a small mound shortly after being born.

Bulborb larvae are born limbless and lacking the distinctive coloring of their parents. Despite this, bulborbs are born fully capable of hunting and eating small prey (some would say too capable). At this age they are already nocturnal, leaving their burrows at night in large swarms. At some point in their development, they will molt into…

Albino dwarf bulborbs, which I will be calling true dwarf bulborbs because the canon name sucks. This stage is much faster than the last on account of the legs, and so are able to leave their birth nest and explore on their own. They will still, however, stay burrowed during the day. They do this because of an interesting quirk of bulborb behavior. Bulborbs identify members of their own species by the coloration and spot patterns on their back. Larval bulborbs lack this coloration and as such are often preyed upon by adults. To avoid this, they only hunt at night, where their coloration is harder to see.

All terrestrial grub dogs share these first two life stages. It is only after the second molt that they gain their species unique characteristics. Second molt larva are basically miniature adults, usually rejoining their parents for protection as they grow.

An interesting quirk of the common bulborb is that in response to environmental changes, usually a shortage of resources, they go through monumental behavioral changes. The largest female in the area asserts dominance over her pack and potentially others, and her egg sac begins to swell to titanic proportions.

The resulting creature is an empress bulblax, which will soon begin to give birth en mass. The rest of her pack are split into castes. The remaining females become workers whose job is to dig out and maintain the new colony’s burrow, to care for the larva, and to protect the colony from predators. The largest males will become drones that keep the empress pregnant. Males not involved in reproduction undergo natural sex changes and become extra workers (bulborbs say trans rights).

I’m not entirely sure why bulborbs respond to having less food by making more mouths to feed, but I assume that they’re trying to bunker down and weather the storm. They’re basically pooling their efforts together to outbreed the problem until it blows over.

Special shoutouts to jumbo bulborbs. Ecologically they’re not very interesting, they’re just bulborbs with a chromosomal disorder, but their piklopedia entry is the only instance sperm has ever been mentioned in a Nintendo game.

Overall, I like bulborbs. They’re very friend shaped, I feel like they would be good pets.
