In Pikmin Evolution
Kelp Pikmin are a species of Pikmin appearing in Pikmin Evolution, where they are either the second or third Pikmin type encountered in the game alongside Wisp Pikmin. As the name suggests, they are the Pikmin type best suited for aquatic areas, being completely immune to drowning and being attacked by water-based attacks. They have turquoise bodies with emerald green eyes and lime green accents on their arms and legs. Their most notable aspect of their appearance is their very long leaves, resembling seaweed or kelp, hence the name. Though unlike normal seaweed, the seaweed making the leaves of these Pikmin are capable of making flowers, light purple flowers to be exact. Another notable aspect of their leaves is the fact they act as a fifth appendage. Like a tentacle, this leaf gives the Pikmin enhanced carrying strength, making them twice as strong as a normal Pikmin, however they also allow them the unique ability to link together with fellow Kelp Pikmin to form special chains in some areas. These chains have several purposes, they can form temporary bridges across gaps allowing access to higher areas, they can be formed in ropes to pull down hard to reach objects and enemies, or become a trip wire to stun enemies who cross them. Their main weakness is having poor endurance, they are very susceptible to being flung father than most types, with wind-based knocking them back twice as far as other types. Still their reliability and unique uses makes them a very versatile Pikmin to use and a must on general exploration.
