Rock Pikmin
Pikmin
Appearance in Pikmin 4.
Scientific name	Pikminidae habisaxum
Family	Pikmin

Rock Pikmin are a species of Pikmin with the special abilities of blunt force immunity and a different method of attacking. When crushed, they are simply driven into the ground and become temporarily partially buried; when a creature with a sharp proboscis tries to impale them, they are simply knocked away harmlessly. They resemble small polished rocks with Pikmin eyes and limbs, and have lavender petals, like Winged Pikmin. The main part of their bodies seems to be a graphite texture that reflects light, whereas their stems, arms, and legs appear to be smooth and gray. Rock Pikmin have an Onion and are reproduced from it through collecting nutrients or by throwing other Pikmin into Slate Candypop Buds.

Their hard, rotund exoskeleton allows them to crack and eventually destroy crystalline solids, but prevents them from clinging on to most matter. When thrown at an enemy or obstacle, they will bounce off and roll backward, inflicting a significant amount of damage. Otherwise, they repeatedly attack enemies and obstacles by lunging into them, rolling backward, and getting up again. When made to climb a structure or plant, or are attacking another Pikmin, they will cling on like the other Pikmin types, and they won't lunge except when attacking a leader.

Rock Pikmin

Attack	High (impact) Above average (charge)
Mobility	Average
Digging speed	High
Hitting rate	N/A
Carrying capacity	1
Candypop	Slate Candypop Bud

Rock Pikmin, also known as Gray Pikmin, are a returning Pikmin type appearing in Pikmin 2... Again?. They are discovered in the Crumbling Dungeon, being obtained exclusively from Slate Candypop Buds, found only in caves, as they lack an Onion. The Rock Pikmin are a gray parasitic species, specifically a Hermikmin, and resemble other Pikmin, but their body is covered by a gray polished rock. Its limbs, eyes, and stem protrude from its rocky coating, which its limbs and stem are slightly lighter than. They are also slightly lighter and have a bright-bluish hue to avoid possible confusion with both the Lichen Pikmin and the Original Pikmin. Rock Pikmin dig at the same speed as Yellow Pikmin and Green Pikmin, but not Claw Pikmin.

Rock Pikmin are most useful for destroying crystalline solids with enough hits, including normal crystal, ice blocks, and even the facial shields of most salguns. When thrown, a Rock Pikmin will execute a headbutt attack that inflicts a tremendous 45 damage, the most of any Pikmin's attack and more than twice that of the Purple Pikmin, and has a larger impact effect than when Pikmin strike an enemy normally coupled with gray stars flying off from the impact, an aesthetic feature. To compensate, Rock Pikmin are unable to latch onto enemies due to their rocky bodies, a disadvantage shared by Bulbmin and their lack of arms, and will simply be knocked back upon impact and then begin attacking from the ground if not called back. On the ground, Rock Pikmin will charge at their target in an attempt to tackle them, inflicting significantly less damage, the same as a Red Pikmin, than their attack when thrown, making them far more effective when thrown.

The Rock Pikmin's main use is that they are at least partially resistant to all forms of blunt force, which include crushing, impaling, hitting, and cutting. For crushing, Rock Pikmin will be partially buried in the ground, and although they can not be plucked, they will recover from this state on their own, and at a faster rate if whistled. If crushed on a hard surface, however, Rock Pikmin will die like any other Pikmin, their coating shattering apart. For impaling, Rock Pikmin will only be knocked back a fair distance depending on the force of the impact. Lastly, for hitting and cutting, Rock Pikmin will be always knocked back without dying.

In Pikmin Forever

Pikmin Forever This article or section presents information pertaining to Pikmin Forever, a fanon game created by Scruffy.

In Pikmin Forever, Rock Pikmin are an enhanced form of other Pikmin types rather than a Pikmin type itself. Finding and harvesting rubble gives leaders a supply of rocks to use on Pikmin they hold, by coating them in pebbles, temporarily transforming them into Rock Pikmin. Rock Pikmin are thrown like a track-and-field hammer and inflict one hundred damage upon impact, then reverting to its original form. A held Rock Pikmin is can have its coating removed, a process that returns the used rubble.

One Rock Pikmin can instantly destroy a crystal barrier, and inflict serious damage on other types of destructible walls. Rock Pikmin are needed to activate acoustic walls. Some enemies behave differently after suffering a hit from a Rock Pikmin, especially if they used crystal in some way.

Notes

Captain Olimar

“These Pikmin have an exterior that resembles the look of a rock! This gives them their name, however, I'm still researching how and why they have such a body. What's even more surprising is that they rarely use their stem other than for sunlight.”

Tang

“My second favorite in combat, they deal massive damage when thrown. Being in numbers and charging is also a very viable strategy. Combine these guys with Purple Pikmin or Red Pikmin and you can have yourself power in either charging or throwing!”

Robin

“Their rock-like bodies are fascinating to me, as I wonder if there is any other Pikmin that is like this. What if a Ruby Pikmin exists? Or an Emerald Pikmin? Maybe even a Diamond Pikmin? And with such ideas of having Pikmin with the capability to have differentiating bodies, I wonder if there is a Tree Pikmin? How about a Robot Pikmin? Oops- looks like I let my imagination run for a bit long, I'll stop this log now.”
