Red Pikmin (Pikmin: New World)

Red Pikmin are the first Pikmin to appear in the game Pikmin: New World. They look exactly the same as normal red pikmin that appear in other pikmin games except they slightly differ in their abilities. They are also far more useful in this game than in the others. They are back to being the only type of pikmin, besides bulbmin or purples, that are able to destroy fire geysers or other fire based hazards. Also, their attack power is now at least three quarters as much as purple pikmin and they are alot faster. They can also break down pillar obstacles, an ability unique to them. They should no longer be used as fodder for candypop buds as both of their abilities are far more commonly used both inside dungeons and out. These Pikmin also appear to be a different species than the original red pikmin, Terracandere ignis.

Pikmin Notes
''"The first pikmin I had ever discovered, the Red Pikmin are unquestionably my greatest friends. For whatever reason, they always seem the first pikmin to come to my aid. They have a long nose, separating them from all other pikmin species. This nose is used to conduct and absorb heat from the surrounding air and then channel it throughout its body. Though most likely originally evolved for the purpose of keeping warm in cold environments, this nose can also be used for lightning rod-like purposes. If the pikmin is immersed in scorching flame, its nose will absorb the heat and channel it back down into the ground without the pikmin itself even suffering a slight burn. The pikmin's heat absorbing capabilities give it an amazingly high metabolism, allowing in to attack with power that would be far to energy-demanding for other pikmin types. A new ability that was just recently discovered is their capability to destroy solid marble pillars, which has lead me to beleive that they are actuallty a seperate species of pikmin entirely and just with the same colouration and abilities. If this is the case, then I wonder where my old pikmin friends are?"''
