Leaflings are a type of species found in Pikmin 4. They are castaways that are converted by the Onion to survive on PNF-404. They are various colors of leaves but they all wear a spacesuit and have a Pikmin stem growing from their head. All of them are obsessed with Dandori, hosting the Dandori Challenges. When rescued and brought to the S.S. Beagle, their ID badges are unreadable until they are cured.
Appearance and Details[]
Unlike the other Castaways, all Leaflings have the same build. They have a medium build with their head being the size of a helmet and a Pikmin stem growing from their head with a leaf at the end. They also all wear the standard white spacesuit. The variations of the Leaflings are one of ten colors of leaves covering their entire body and a set of eyes. The ones awake will stand dancing and talk about Dandori before jumping into the cave. In the cave, they give a short speech about the challenge and observe the challenge from a high structure.
Pikmar[]
Olimar in his so called "Pikmar" shape.
Pikmar (or Olimin) is a character in Pikmin. If Olimar doesn't get all the twenty five ship parts needed, he will try to take off, but fail. Olimar will see a short clip of the Pikmin carrying his dead body to the Onion. A seed will come out, looking like Olimar with a black Pikmin stem out of his helmet, stuck in the ground. This concept seems to be the predecesor to Leaflings.
List of Leaflings encountered[]
While all of them are unidentified when encountered, several Castaways are only found as a Leafling and need to be cured to rescued. After the player rescues 10 Leaflings, they can talk to Puddle who can now turn the player into a Leafling.

Trivia[]
- You can end the thirtieth day with Pikmin extinction, however, there will always be a handful of Pikmin carrying Olimar to an Onion.
- Fireworks usually come out when Olimar is getting sucked into the Onion.
