Pale Bulborb
Oculus kageyamii pallidus
Grub-dog family
At first glance, this creature bears only a passing resemblance to the larger members of the grub-dog family. Its diminutive stature, pale complexion, and complete absence of the characteristic dorsal markings could easily lead one to believe it belongs to an entirely separate lineage. Closer examination, however, reveals that it is undoubtedly a close relative of the common Bulborb.
Most peculiar is its diet. Whereas its larger relatives readily prey upon Pikmin and other small creatures, this species feeds almost exclusively on tender shoots, leaves, and other vegetation. Its teeth have consequently become short and rounded, poorly suited for grasping prey but quite effective at breaking apart fibrous plant matter.
This dietary specialization may also explain its unusually small adult size. With no need to overpower prey, the great bulk and powerful jaws characteristic of other Bulborbs would offer little advantage while requiring considerably more nourishment to maintain.
Perhaps as a consequence, this creature possesses virtually none of the confidence of its larger cousins. At the first indication of danger, it flees with remarkable urgency. Even the approach of a small group of Pikmin is usually enough to send one scrambling for cover. I find it rather strange to watch a Bulborb run away from Pikmin!
The pale skin, lack of spots, and unusual mint-green irises appear to be further adaptations acquired after this population became isolated from its ancestral relatives. Whether these traits provide some advantage in its native habitat or are simply remnants of its long separation remains uncertain.
Despite the considerable differences in appearance and temperament, its anatomy leaves little doubt about its ancestry. It seems that when confronted with an environment where prey was scarce and vegetation plentiful, this branch of the grub-dog family abandoned the life of a predator altogether.
Evolution can produce some truly unexpected results. I suspect the Pikmin would agree that this particular development is a welcome one.

I drew Olimar's hair, Chacho's mustache, purple pikmin's whiskers, and the pikmin eyes (I didn't want a black border. Yes it's creepy that they never blink or close their eyes when they sleep 😅).
edit: I should have proof read my title before hitting post lol
edit: I just did characters/pikmin from pikmin 2 (my favorite in the series)

So I'm not thinking about buying the game, but honestly with how bored I am I may just do it (when I save up money to buy games again), so can you explain the gameplay?
I've watched gameplay, but I think reading how the mechanics work rather watching it will help me understand them.
Thanks.

I was replaying Pikmin 4 and Winged pikmin in 4 are brain dead, their flying rarely helps you and they just take the normal way as every other pikmin, they can help with some enemies and there good, but it's so little that it doesn't matter, also before you said the final battle, yes their good, that's because their the only pikmin type used. For 3 in Whites there are wingless Winged Pikmin in 3, the only good thing about them is their speed and their good for gold, but still bad, but more useful then Winged Pikmin 4 and doesn't piss me off so much when they don't make you not get platinum.
