Purple Pikmin

Purple pikmin are only there in pikmin 2 and they are the best fighters in the game. They are first found in the Emergence Cave and they can only be created by throwing pikmin into violet candypop buds. They are very big, have hairs on their head, and like whites they have a pink flower. Purple pikmin are very strong and count as ten regular pikmin when they are carrying things, so you can carry objects that need more than 100 pikmin to be able to carry them. They are thrown lower than other pikmin because they are very heavy and make a "thump" when they land. Throwing a purple pikmin on top of an enemy usually stuns them and inflicts a lot of damage unless you are fighting some certain bosses. Instead of an onion they live in your ships exhaust pipe and when you take pikmin out you can choose between purples and whites.
