#snowy bulborb

Snowy bulborbs really aren’t built to survive in the snow. What keeps them alive? Love! (and pity.)

what do you think of the new bulborb types in pikmin 4?

The albino dwarf-bulborb looks just like a bulborb larva with legs, not super exciting but a good enemy for nighttime missions, plus it’s neat to see the stage in-between the larva and a normal bulborb.

The frosty bulborb is fun and I like how the cold theme is more apparent than on the snowy bulborbs, it’s a shame it doesn’t show up more often. I like the dwarf frosty bulborb entry too, it’s cute.

Lastly the jumbo bulborb is nice too, not as difficult as the emperor bulborbs but still a good challenge due to extra size and aggression.

(uhh here’s hoping tumblr doesn’t destroy the quality of this!!!)

ANYWAYS so I haven’t gotten a chance to tell you guys but I’m writing a Pikmin fanfic thingy. I have no idea when I’m gonna start posting it though. This fanfic also takes place in an AU! Most of the changes are little details that just pile up on one another lol. The biggest change - and the change that gives this AU it’s name - are the Star Touched Pikmin. 

This isn’t a Star Touched Pikmin. They will be getting their own post thingy later. Until then I guess you can sit and think about what a Star Touched Pikmin is. 

THIS cutie here is actually a Wooly Pikmin! One of a number of normal Pikmin types I’m adding to the AU. They’re very soft and also like the cold. Their flower is based on the Artic Poppy.

I wrote a little bio for them here, so if you want to learn more about them + what they can do then read on!

Stats 

Size: Large (in image, a Red Pikmin is used to compare heights)

Strength (a scale of 1-10, Red Pikmin being a 7): 8

Preferred Climate: Boreal Forests

Immunities: none (cold resistant)

Known Regions: Poles (temporary, only in summer), Snagret Spine (a mountain region), The Silent Forest, Bulborb Home, Cloud Run, Great Wood (Boreal forests), and Frost Fields (a tundra).

Notes

Wooly Pikmin are a species native to colder regions. Most often found in boreal forests, they use their powerful claws to climb trees, rocks, and ice. They have been noted to not slip as easily on ice due to these claws and the paw-pads on their feet. Their thick coats keep them warm in these harsh regions, but can lead to them feeling uncomfortable in warmer temperatures. The few Pikmin that leave their snowy areas for more temperate regions have been seen to shed excess fur. They refuse to visit any sort of arid or tropical climate. 

The troops seen in their natural boreal habitat are arboreal, dwelling exclusively in the trees. They almost never come into contact with the ground, save for the collection of dirt. They bring this dirt back to their main hollow, where in their onion resides. They take great care in ensuring their soil is rich in nutrients and free of pests to ensure the next generation of Wooly Pikmin are as strong as possible.

A few troops have been seen to live within the brush of open tundras or the tops of mountains, but this appears to be rare. Even more rare are the troops that migrate to the poles during the summer months. Only three troops have been recorded taking part in this migration. 

Wooly Pikmin are one of the few species of Pikmin to be active mostly at night. It appears that, at least in their natural boreal habitat, most of their predators are ground dwellers. Thus the Pikmin are able to take advantage of the darkness to gather materials and nutrients. It is unknown if their nighttime activities caused them to lack pupils, or if their lack of pupils caused their nocturnal behavior. 

Despite being largely nocturnal, a few individuals are willing to work in the day in order to interact with the various Star Troops. However, without pupils, any sort of light is extra harsh on them. Thus it is not uncommon to see them wearing crude sunglasses, typically made from smoky quartz, when mulling about in the daylight.

Sunglasses are not the only fashion these Pikmin have! A very small number has been seen wearing the various vests and ribbons of the Star Troops. Every single Wooly Pikmin also paints a third "eye" in the middle of their forehead, and an even larger fourth "eye" on the backs of their heads. It is thought that this is done to help ward off predators. 

Most interestingly of all is the Pikmin's show of rank. They will weave various objects into their grey mane to display their status. Wooden beads - which they make themselves - denote their age. Teeth are the true symbols of rank, and they will always default to following the Pikmin with the most. Lastly there are bone shards, which seem to serve more so as trophies than anything else. If you happen to run into a troop of these Pikmin and they give you these items, do not turn them down. Instead, try to attach them to your suit! Just about any way seems to work for them. It will strengthen your bond and make them respect you more. On that same note, keep a good eye on how many teeth they award you, and be sure to respect and follow any Pikmin of a higher rank.

God, I want a Pikmin Snap so bad. Or like a Pikmin version of those Petz games. Either way, please more Pikmin.

Any things you wish were added/talked about in the pikmin series?

added to the ones that already exist? well, pik3 would have heavily benefitted from a piklopedia and such, like with Brittany doing her own articles on the plants, Charlie probably being the oen to write about creatures  (though they may all chip in here) and ALph talking about the various technology they find to boost their ship’s capabilities.

or perhaps like... finding extra Olimar logs that have piklopedia entries? give us more louie recipes nintendo.

idk, i don’t think there’s much i would change... i mean, going form pik3 to pik2 did leave me missing the go here function but that’s not much...

oh! definitely wish there were more returning creatures from the previous games in pik 3. even though Pikmin 2 had just a shit load of bulborbs, they were different in enough ways it still felt kinda diverse. I don’t see why we didn’t have any snowy bulborbs in the distant tundra, and where’d the mamutas go?

First Purple

((This is my first attempt at writing something based off of this blogs story. It’s also Persey’s backstory! Uh tell me if you guys like these and if I should make more, they’re nice filler and fun to write. Also don't expect it to be perfect especially formatting wise pfft.

The soft light of dawn was peering through the gray clouds in the sky as Olimar crunched through the snow and over to the onion. He peered up into the red onions’ hallucinating rays before being scolded by the ship “Ahem.” it made a loud staticy cough, turning Olimar’s attention to it. Louie was standing awkwardly in front of him, just...staring. “Captain Olimar I hope you aren’t forgetting to teach Louie the basics.” He gave him an accusing look. Olimar blinked at the machine, “Uh..no, I suppose I’m just eager to get to our first cave,” he gestured the young man over, “come over here Louie, I’ll teach you how to call out pikmin.” Silently the blonde trudged through the ice and stopped at the other’s side. Olimar tried to ignore how uneasy he felt, “You stand right here,” he said, tapping his foot in the center of the onions’ beam, “and just whistle.” he blew hard into his whistle as soon as he finished his sentence. He saw Louie jump out of the corner of his eye as a storm of excited pikmin cheered and flooded the ground around them. As always Hope was first, taking his place at his captain’s side with happy squeaks. He noticed that there was a red leaf hovering behind Hope, the same red leaf that had never left his brother’s side since the day he was plucked. It was not too long ago when he had sent Hope to carry back a pellet, sprouting two new reds. Of course the newborns followed their older brother’s lead for awhile but even after maturing and his twin sister venturing out to socialize with her other siblings like they normally do, this one...stayed. Olimar couldn't exactly blame the little guy, if he could pick anyone to be his role model, it’d be Hope. Even though the young pikmin was constantly on the elder’s heels he hardly seemed to mind, even comforting him when he started crying over the smallest things. Olimar smiled at the two, patting their heads, they certainly had personality.

He led his squad to the hole in the ground that they had discovered the night prior. It emitted eerie noises, the groans of the earth, and growls of creatures. Louie peered down into it while the pikmin crowded against it, enjoying the hot air that it pumped out. Olimar looked up at his new partner, “Are you ready?” Louie looked at him, eye’s wide. For a moment it looked as if he were about to protest but nodded slowly instead. The freight ship’s pod hovered over them, making the reds tilt their heads and reach up to grab at it. After counting to three Olimar jumped into the cave, not giving his body the time to hesitate. He heard the wails of the pikmin as they jumped down after him, all of them landing in a pile on the frosty cave floor. Olimar groaned and rubbed the side of his back, slightly annoyed as the ship floated down gently. He heaved himself to his feet, offering a hand to Louie and helping him up, “Now…” he scanned the land that he could in front of him, whistling the pikmin close to his side. Everyone thankfully seemed uninjured except for a couple of bruises. He walked forward, grabbing the nearest red in preparation for an attack. Louie trailed behind him, ears twitching as the pikmin hummed. Soon enough the lights of the captains beacons glowed on the hides of several dwarf snowy bulborbs. They held their breaths as the creatures sniffed hungirly at the ground, even the pikmin had gone completely quiet. With no warning Olimar began chucking the pikmin at the enemies’ backs, cringing as they yelped in pain as the force of the pikmin crushed them. He let out a sigh, following the spirits that rose from the bodies with his eyes. The pikmin instinctively began to haul their prizes back to the ship, who gasped dramatically as they came closer, “Oh no you are NOT bringing THAT here! That’s not treasure, that’s disgusting!” he scolded, leaving the pikmin looking confused. Olimar ushered the poor reds to his side, not being able to help but give the machine an angry look. He froze as he returned to Louie and the rest of his team. The rookie employee had taken out a knife and was cutting slices off the corpse and putting them into airlock tight bags. “Louie...what are you doing.” he tried not to reveal the disgust in his voice. The blonde looked over, his expression blank, “taking samples.” he said simply. He looked back at his work, tucking the knife and the bag into his pocket before standing up again. To say Olimar was uncomfortable was an understatement, “riiighhhhtttt…” he murmured through clenched teeth. Trying to forget the whole situation he hurried over to an orange sphere that was emerging from the snowy earth. His chest swelled with pride as the pikmin instantly began to dig away at it, they were already learning new objectives. Soon they had freed the treasure, and swarmed it in an attempt to be one of the carriers. Olimar’s mouth watered, it looked just like a fresh fruit, “hey Louie, have you ever heard of Koppai?” Louie was eyeing up the treasure too as the pikmin walked past him, he nodded. “Heh, oh yeah I guess they teach that in school.” he commented, embarrassed that he forgot that even his tiny daughter had learned about the local planet. “They eat fruit.” Olimar’s ears perked, Louie had spoke! He smiled to himself, perhaps the man was finally beginning to feel comfortable around him. With the remaining pikmin Olimar picked up a bottle cap, a pang of sadness striking him as he recalled something similar he had meant to gift to his son.

The ship reported that the current level was now treasure free, and for the first time he noticed another hole on the floor. The crew had an easier time going down this one, knowing exactly what to expect. He heard Louie let out an “oof” as Hope fell on top of him, the pikmin hurriedly getting off and cooing his apologies. Olimar’s eyes bulged as looked at the scene in front of him. There was no snow here, a dim light shone like a spotlight on three vibrant violet flowers, “Candypop Buds!” he exclaimed aloud, racing over to examine them. Louie and the ship followed slowly, trying to get a closer look as the reds raced past them and made odd sounds at the buds. Olimar was in awe, stroking the dark petals delicately, “I’ve never seen purple ones before…” The ship floated in front of him, “Care to explain what Candypop Buds are?” The brunette let out an audible “oh!” before turning his attention to his colleague, “Candypop buds turn the pikmin into the same color as their petals, no matter the species. It’s so interesting, you can throw a yellow in a blue candypop bud and it’d come out a blue!” suddenly the realization hit him, “which means…” his gaze slid over to the flower, it’s leaves shimmering in the sunlight. He scanned his crowd of pikmin, some looked terrified and others looked pumped to be thrown into them. Hope squeaked, nudging the little red leaf forward. Olimar lowered himself to the pikmin, “do you want to go in?” he asked, knowing full well the pikmin couldn't understand him but hoping he had gotten the point across. The red leaf poked it’s finger together, looking sheepish as it nodded slowly. Olimar gave him a warm look, stroking his head before tossing him into the candypop bud. He squealed and was cut off by the petals folding in around him. Olimar’s throat felt dry and he could practically hear his heart pounding, had he made a mistake? Relief washed over him as the bud spit up a tiny purple seed. It squirmed in the warm soil until its stem pierced through the surface and swayed, waiting for it’s captain to pluck it. Suddenly Olimar’s palms felt sweaty with anticipation, this was a color he had never encountered before. He tugged at the sprout, falling backwards as it sprang free. He gawked as it landed on the ground with a thud. It was bigger than any other pikmin he had seen before, and plumper too. Feelers grew from each side of his head, and his dark red eyes and red splotches were the only things left from his previous body. Hope let out a high pitched chirp, greeting his younger brother with open arms. The other pikmin began to do the same, circling him and examining him. “I can’t believe it, it’s an entirely new species…” Olimar breathed. Louie gazed at the happy looking purple, his face emotionless, “should we make more?” he asked without even looking in his friend’s direction. Olimar stood up, brushing himself off, “Yes, good idea. I’m excited to research these little guys as soon as possible.”
