So this is a concept I came up with for a hypothetical open-world Pikmin game. My thought process was "how would an open-world Pikmin game work? Maybe if the onion followed you around so you didn't have to worry about Pikmin trying to cross the whole map..." and then it hit me. MAN-AT-LEGS ONION!

The Man-At-Legs Onion (also known as the "Onion-At-Legs" or "Min-At-Legs" or simply "the Onion") is a symbiotic relationship between a Man-At-Legs spider (whatever they're called before they fuse with the technology that gives them a gun) and a Pikmin Onion... Either that or an Onion that evolved by absorbing the DNA of a Man-At-Legs somehow (or propagated Pikmin DNA into one like they did with Oatchi and Moss). Regardless of how, the point is its friendly! When the Onion absorbs nutrients, the spider itself also gets a share of nutrients, making it mutually beneficial.

This leggy boi will follow around the captain as you explore a vast open-world area. Its legs allow it to travel across rougher terrains and over hills and streams, so it can stay with the captain at all times when you need to transport things (of course, the captain would need to build bridges or break down walls to cross such terrain themselves first). Like in Pikmin 4, you can tell the Onion to stay at bases marked by the glowing Pink rocks... but if you walk too far away it will leave the spot to catch up, as the Pikmin can only carry items back to it within a certain radius.

One of the spider's legs is replaced with the leg of a Pikmin Onion, just like how one of the Man-At-Leg's legs is robotic. This leg is more flexible, akin to a tentacle or something. When it flies, its prosthetic tentacle leg retracts, and the other three huddle closer to the body of the spider (similar to how Dweevils look when they're sitting).
