In Pikmin 8: The World Beyond
Black Pikmin are the fourteenth and final Pikmin discovered in Pikmin 8: The World Beyond, exclusive to the Cave of Darkness, which they can not leave. They are resistant to darkness and cast light to keep it at bay. In place of a leaf, bud, or flower, they have a lightbulb-like structure on the end of their stem. When given nectar, their light range will increase, making it much easier to see in the dark.

In Pikmin Overgrowth
In Pikmin Overgrowth and its timeline, Light Pikmin glow in the dark, are four-tenths as strong as other Pikmin, and are quite fast.

In Pikmin: The Dawn of Petals
In Pikmin: The Dawn of Petals, Light Pikmin have fur that is either long or short and has patterns that, with an accompanying synth sound, light up to reveal its true color, the same color as its bodily fluids, sclerae, and petals. Common colors include normal colors and grayish colors, though bright and dark colors are uncommon. The ears of a Light Pikmin may either be without notches or have at most one notch per ear. Their leaves, buds, and flowers are shaped like those of maple trees and thus point upwards.



In Pikmin: Lair of the Umbrax Dweevil
Light Pikmin are found in Glow-Orb Cavern, a cave in Pikmin: Lair of the Umbrax Dweevil. Their glowing bulb scares away shadow monsters and illuminates a small portion of the surrounding area. They are best known for their eyes, which resemble moons, and the glowing bulb on the end of their stem.
