Steve

Steve is a remarkably determined, hardworking Red Pikmin. His origins lie in a playthrough of done by the popular YouTuber Chuggaaconroy, in which a seemingly foolish Red Pikmin was dubbed as Steve by Chuggaaconroy himself. At one point in the playthrough, Steve grabbed hold of a Fiery Blowhog's corpse and didn't let go for the entire in-game day. Chuggaaconroy was unaware of this until he was looking for stray Pikmin at the end of the day and miraculously recovered Steve just before the timer hit zero, thus earning Steve Chuggaaconroy's admiration for his dedication. Later on, Chuggaaconroy used the Smoky Progg's pearl to produce one hundred "Steve children" in Steve's honor.
