The Alien Pikmin are a mysterious species of Pikmin of extraterrestrial origin appearing in Pikmin: Advanced Online. They have a one-in-ten chance of appearing every thirty in-game days. Their Onion falls from the sky if the chance to appear is successful, and will stay there the entire day after crash-landing. For Alien Pikmin to join a leader's side, that leader must defeat the dominant member of the group. The dominant member will be black and cyan instead of black and yellow. The dominant Alien Pikmin will also be larger, have more appendages, and be slightly differently shaped. Once the dominant member is defeated, all leaders will be able to control Alien Pikmin, with the one that defeats the dominant member having the most control of the newly-acquired Alien Pikmin. After the day ends, the Alien Pikmin Onion will fly away, taking any Alien Pikmin that were left at its crash site. An Alien Onion will land again the following day, including the dominant member, who will be neutral. A new batch of Alien Pikmin will be available, the maximum being thirty and the minimum fifteen. Leaders can only have up to forty Alien Pikmin. After this, any wild Alien Pikmin they whistle at will eventually become hostile if they are whistled at too much.

Alien Pikmin are an extraterrestrial Pikmin species appearing in Pikmin: Wide World. A small group of 4 to 6 of them of various maturities can be found in Balmy Highlands a few days after Winged Pikmin are discovered, their vaguely Onion-like saucer having crashlanded in a secluded part of it. The saucer itself acts as a treasure. Alien Pikmin communicate constantly in a warped, otherworldly voice that occasionally seems to overlap itself. They remain by their wrecked saucer, working meticulously on repairing it, and will attack any Pikmin, leaders, and enemies that approach too closely. They will fly into a frenzy if whistled, severely agitated by the sound. Once any apparent threats have fled out of range or are deceased, the Alien Pikmin return to their work. Their saucer's condition visibly improves every few days they are present to repair it, and also becomes more valuable in terms of both pokos and sparklium. Some days, the Alien Pikmin may be absent from Balmy Highlands completely, and that is because they are foraging for resources elsewhere, although their saucer remains and can be inspected or taken without interference from them. They always return the day following their absence, but sometimes with 1 or 2 of them missing depending on the group's size, suggesting they've been killed. While present in the area, they count against the on-field Pikmin limit. Approximately 11 to 14 days after having crashlanded, the Alien Pikmin will have restored their saucer to working order, and have left PNF-404's surface. If their saucer is taken while they are still alive, the Alien Pikmin will simply wander about and have aggression levels on par with being frenzied. In alternate game modes, Alien Pikmin merely wander about with normal aggression levels, not having a saucer to repair.

Alien Pikmin resemble a typical Pikmin but are remarkably skinny, have pale skin, two pairs of oblong black eyes, two claws on each hand and foot, and a thorny stem. At the end of their stem can be a pink leaf with serrated edges, or a bud or flower consisting of 6 curved black petals and a cyan center.

Being just another Pikmin type, Alien Pikmin are subject to PNF-404's dangers like any other Pikmin, and likewise, leaders can interact with them like any other Pikmin. They are subject to hazards but appear resistant to spores, maybe incidentally so from a similar substance on their homeworld. Under proper circumstances, they can be buried and plucked. Alien Pikmin can pluck one another from the ground, refusing to pluck other sprouts, but can get out themselves if not plucked soon enough. Nectar has no effect on them besides repelling them, and they don't seem to mind black nectar. They have unexpected reactions to sprays, having no reaction to some and being completely overwhelmed by others, to the point of dying. Though whistling them only irritates them, they can be thrown, either to get them away or at an enemy or obstacle to attack. However, a leader that grabs an Alien Pikmin's stem will receive light damage unless they have the Iron Fists equipped. If leaders attempt to carry an Alien Pikmin away from their saucer, they will squirm out of that leader's grasp and flee back to the saucer. The PikHold will not accept Alien Pikmin due to their unrecognized biological data. In a unique reaction that can be seen only in Bottomless Abyss, throwing an Alien Pikmin into a candypop will instantly kill the candypop, which in turn kills the Alien Pikmin, even if it is an Ivory Candypop. This same fate befalls any enemies that eat an Alien Pikmin as well.

Alien Pikmin are not particularly difficult to kill, but doing so will elicit negative responses from the leaders, and so will collecting their saucer. Upon death, an Alien Pikmin's collapsed body will rapidly deteriorate into a small puddle of an unknown glowing teal substance that instantly vaporizes Pikmin and greatly injures leaders and enemies that touch it. The puddles burn into the ground and disappear shortly after forming. Their deaths are also permanent, as there will never be more to take the place of any that die. Thus, morally and for safety, the best way to deal with Alien Pikmin is to leave them be and allow them to return home.

In ultra-spicy difficulty, Alien Pikmin can spit their strange vaporizing fluid from a distance, making intruding on their activities even more dangerous.

Olimar's comments

PWW Captain Olimar icon.png This extraterrestrial pikmin species crashlanded on this planet, most likely after having collided with one of the many asteroids around it. Then they had to rebuild... Odd that our stories parallel so closely.

PWW President icon.png I've always heard stories about little gray 'min and their abductions. Good thing they won't go after me, because I'm not wearing a cow outfit!

Marie's comments

PWW Marie icon.png These aren't like other pikmin... They're scared. Scared of this alien world they were plunged into. But they're strong, and little can stop them. Sounds... familiar...

PWW Louie icon.png I can't eat them even if they're spacemin?

PWW Dolphin Lander icon.png Who knew there were pikmin elsewhere in the cosmos? I wonder what their strange world looks like... I can only imagine what the bulborbs look like.
