Clawed Pikmin

Clawed Pikmin are, as the name implies, a member of the Pikmin family which has claws on its hands. They currently only appear in one game.

Pikmin V
Clawed Pikmin are the second new type of Pikmin in Pikmin V, first discovered in Mad Jungle. Their onion is the Black Onion and their Candypop Bud is the Ebony Candypop Bud. A Clawed Pikmin's head and body are round, making it slightly shorter than usual, and are colored black. Just like Orange Pikmin, it has a maroon flower. Its main feature is the large claws that are on its hands. These claws allow it to stick to foes it is latched on to, cut thin materials like paper and vines, and climb certain hard surfaces. However, they also interfere with carrying objects, so it takes up two carrying spaces on objects and therefore cannot carry objects with a max carrier amount of 1, like bomb rocks and fragments. It is also somewhat weaker than the other types of Pikmin in the game.
