Orange Pikmin (parasitic)

A special variety of Orange Pikmin that takes over creatures, usually Dwarf Bulborbs.

Pikmin: Final Destiny
Orange Pikmin are what you get when you bring Bulbmin out of caves and dungeons. They have the same stats as Bulbmin, but they trip sometimes. They can become a Bulbmin again by killing any kind of Dwarf Bulborb and standing right next to it for a few seconds.

PLOTUD
In Pikmin: Lair Of The Umbrax Dweevil, Orange Pikmin are the parasitic pikmin that make Bulbmin. They have extendable spikes so they can stick onto stuff. You need the Anti-Bulbmin Whistle to get them out of a Bulbmin without it having to die first.
