Decided to give these guys a bit of a face-lift from their original incarnations. Why is that? Just wanted to and I'm getting back into Pikmin recently after seeing a resurgence of Pikmin-related content in my YouTube's algorithm lately.

Olimar's notes:

Predatory Pikmin (More commonly known as Pred Pikmin)

Vorarephilias Pikminicus

Pikmin Family

  This breed of Pikmin is "Unique" to say the least. For one, the Onions, Pellets, and Candypop Buds are of a different color than the Pikmin themselves other than their leaves, buds, and flowers since they have various colors of dark blue, purples, and Cyans. This breed of Pikmin is just as ravenous as an average Bulborb. Unlike most of the other Pikmin, These Pikmin's Onion appears to display some form of primitive sapience such as emitting a whistlike noise to call in it's Pikmin, strategize where its Pikmin should attack and can also walk around similar to a small Beady Long Legs. When it gets to night time, instead of flying into the sky at night, it will bury itself underground and wait for the sun to rise again before reemerging again. The Pred Pikmin will forage to feed the Onion like with all of the other Pikmin though. If a Pred Pikmin finds a small creature, it will swallow it whole by either the main mouth or through the flytrap/pitcher mouth if the Pred Pikmin is partially/fully mature, rendering the Pikmin immobile.

  If the Onion finds the engorged Pred Pikmin before it could digest it's prey, it will then suck the Pikmin up much like how the other Onions do when carried back nutrients such as carcasses and pellets reach the Onion and sprout more Pred Pikmin, which it will promptly pluck up from the ground with one of it's feet. If the Pred Pikmin digests its prey before the Onion finds it, it will then either quickly mature into its flower stage if it's a leaf or bud, or it will sprout some Pikmin seeds like it's a miniature union if the Pred Pikmin is an adult.

When the Pred Pikmin Onion is hunting Prey, it would gather a sizeable group of Pikmin (generally with the maximum being 100 with each hunting party). When the prey is in range, it would emit a high pitch screech, causing the Pred Pikmin to quickly charge at the prey similar to how I charge my Pikmin when I blow my whistle or hum a melody that causes them to coordinate more efficiently similar to how I would play melody with my whistle to manipulate the movement of the Pikmin. When close to a big target, they would immediately jump onto it and began to bite at the creature until it goes down. They also only serve the Onion that they were born in. I found that out when I tried to whistle some over and they almost ate my Pikmin, so should one want to recruit Pred Pikmin to their squad, they need to tame it first, usually by killing some prey for it or to destroy its Onion in combat.

    =Trivia:=

*   This is my first Pikmin-themed OC.

*   I once had a second Pikmin OC that would command the Pred Pikmin, but the original depiction of it wasn't saved before my previous computer passed away, resulting in it getting destroyed.

* I do not own Pikmin. The series belongs to Nintendo.
