Rock Pikmin

The Rock Pikmin is a species of grey Pikmin that was discovered on PNF-404 during the first exploration done by Captain Charlie.

Description
As their name implies, Rock Pikmin resemble less of a plant and more like a chunk of graphite, with limbs sticking out of the sides of their bodies, and a lavender flower on top of their head. This is due to Pikmin seeds having grown inside of a rock shell, due to parasitic nature, similar the the Bulbmin.

The outer shell of the Rock Pikmin is highly durable, making the Rock Pikmin have much higher defense than the rest of the species, making them able to charge into hard objects without hurting themselves.
