I noticed leafling Olimar kinda looks like he has a beard.

Also, the leafling thing isn't as sinister to me as it's often portrayed, I always thought olimar's helmet antenna made him look like a big pikmin.

So to the pikmin, he's just like what the big bulbmin are to the little bulbmin.

So, olimar becoming a big pikmin makes it come full circle.

Dandori doesn't feel like some sinister obsession to me. It feels more like the instinct on which pikmin themselves operate, making them coordinated and mutually supportive. Like bugs? Ants even? :]

Of course the sinister element is the loss of self, but I didn't think it was portrayed as an irreversible amnesia, I like to think the leaflings can eventually peice their individual selves back together while still maintaining this new collective instinct. Bees and ants to have some form of individuality and a "true hivemind" the way it's portrayed in media isn't very accurate.

Then, of course, there's the idea that they can't survive off planet or go home. That's definitely bad.

Also it gives me an excuse to make Olimar look kinda bear-ish. ;D

A Compiled List of the Reasons Louie is the Most Unhinged & Unfathomable character Nintendo has ever created

Spent his childhood eating bugs and now finds ways to prepare & eat various pnf-404 creatures, which wouldn't be all that unusual...EXCEPT THAT THE ENTIRE REST OF THE HOCOTATIAN RACE ARE VEGETARIANS. HES A GENETIC ANOMALY.

has to actively restrain himself from eating the pikmin and still fantasized about how they taste

has attempted to eat a majority of the treasures we collect

Consumed his bosses entire cargo of golden pikpik carrots and then lied about it.

Attempted to transform multiple innocent people into leaflings solely because he was advised by Olimar to mimic him at work. thats it, there's no other reason for this behaviour

Tried to kill us like three times now for no reason other than...wanting to be left alone I guess???

Stole food from groups of stranded explorers, twice. Both of which were koppaite teams trying to save their people from starvation.

Jumped off the S.S Shepherd during takeoff with the desire to stay on pnf-404 forever, seemingly not putting into account the fact that his life support will run out eventually. Or maybe he did think about that and wants to become a leafling, who the hell knows.

Has somehow managed to tame and control what, like two or three different wild beasts now? Which he then used to try to kill us as previously mentioned.

Appears to be selectively mute and also ignores Olimar & everyone else for no good reason.

Tried to eat the water wraith.

he never gives any explanation for any of his behaviour. He's just like that, he's a complete and utter enigma to his own kind, pnf-404, and the rest of the universe.

In conclusion: Louie is a little freak, I absolutely adore him, and Miyamoto had to have been on something to create the weird lil guy and continue his unexplained antics in every pikmin game since then.

I love the idea of leafling scars!! Such a cool idea but I’ve never seen anyone draw anything life that! Maybe I’m biased because I like Bernard.

Had this idea brewing since the game came out and there are SO many ways it could be applied to imply extra stories for Bernard and the castaways! I have no idea when else I'll be able to talk about this in length so thank you for sending this I can finally ramble!!!

To summarize:

Cured castaways are left with vine stitches that protect and keep together any internal or external injuries (may or may not disappear once the injury is fully healed)

The pikmin parasite potencially focuses on the head to control the host

The longer they're a leafling the more vibrant the hue left on the skin is. (I wasn't sure how much of a tomato Olimar would be)

Flowers can bloom in their leafy coats

Despite being brought into the same Onion they have different types of leaves/vines/flowers

I left it ambiguous whether or not castaways are still being healed after they've been turned into leaflings

Other info and ideas I didn't include:

A lot of times the plant grown will be poisonous ie. a yellow leafling grows buttercups. This is to protect them from predators.

Marks resembiling their leafling eyes might be visible on their corneas

Drinking nectar gives them a similar effect to the pikmin; blooming flower, faster speed (maybe strength? forgot if that's boosted), they also get "extra lives" but their pain receptors are more sensitive than the pikmin so they get temporarilly incapacitated for longer

Keeping it ambiguous if castaways are straight up revived from the dead or need to be brought in while they're still hanging on (there's so much story potential if theres a time limit tho!)

They might be able to use the vines as a second limb (I accidentally drew Olimar's vine too low so he probably has a vine tail now)

Dunno if I did Yonny's speech pattern justice here (still experimenting) but-

I REALLY wished we could've gotten notes from Yonny about this since he got to see them up close. And dang it I'm really curious about how the leaflings work, I get that they're all dandori n stuff but what if the pink ones can fly or the purple ones are stronger. Maybe all of them except blue leaflings get hurt by water.

So many questions and no answers, and so much design and story potential!!!

I cut the image in case tumblr's compression kicks me.

This was a pretty fun way to start drawing the castaways too. Now I'm really tempted to draw everyone's leafling forms (I may have already picked flowers for the rescue corps team based on their symbolism)
