The Brown Pikmin is a species of Pikmin that is often resistant to earth, mud, or explosions, but can have a variety of abilities.

=In fanon games=

In Elemental Pikmin
In Elemental Pikmin, Brown Pikmin are resistant to the earth element, and so are unaffected by mud that would normally drown even Blue Pikmin.

In One Pikmin
Brown Pikmin appear in One Pikmin as Tribal Pikmin that live in a small village within the Bada Jungle.

In Pikmin 3 (Flish version)
Brown Pikmin appear in Pikmin 3 as the fifth Pikmin species discovered. On each hand, they have three massive, uneven claws used to dig through loose soil, an obstacle that is similar to both boxes and gates, to either form a new path or reveal the hole to the next sublevel in a cave. Compared to most other Pikmin, Brown Pikmin have slightly increased attack power and can dig faster.

In Pikmin 3: The Dweevil's Revenge
In Pikmin 3: The Dweevil's Revenge, Brown Pikmin are discovered by throwing Pikmin into Dirty Candypop Buds, which are initially only accessible after Green Pikmin are discovered. Useful in arid environments, Brown Pikmin have slit pupils that help them see in sandstorms, and are not affected by sand pits.

In Pikmin 5: New World
Brown Pikmin are the fourth Pikmin species to be discovered in Pikmin 5: New World. They are the shortest Pikmin type and have a spiky exoskeleton used to excavate secret passageways.

In Pikmin Search
In Pikmin Search, Brown Pikmin are first found at Rocky Pass, and are the only Pikmin that can survive explosions. They have a thin, tan stripe across the base of their neck, and their stem is also tan. The reason behind its explosion immunity is a mystery. They can also carry bomb rocks and have the strength of five Pikmin.

In Pikmin SP
In Pikmin SP, Brown Pikmin are found at Quicksand Desert, in the landing site, where a small group of five sit, without their Onion. They have brown skin, white eyes, blue petals, and webbed feet. Their eyes illuminate a path through sandstorms, making it easier for Olimar and his Pikmin to navigate through, and their webbed feet grant them immunity to quicksand. Brown Pikmin can be cultivated by throwing other Pikmin into Sandstone Candypop Buds, which are found only underground.

In Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds
Brown Pikmin appear in Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds. They are discovered at the Ancient Valley, are resistant to earth, have the ability to dig through soft terrain by using their clawed hands, and can be propagated through the use of Dirty Candypop Buds. They are useful for accessing normally cut-off locations, and the tunnels they dig out may diverge and wind throughout an area, creating shortcuts. However, the tunnels they excavate may end at a body of water, allowing only Blue Pikmin to pass through. Brown Pikmin will stop digging when they reveal cracked dirt; a leader must punch this cracked dirt a few times until it breaks to complete the tunnel.

In Pikmin: The Huge Debt
In Pikmin: The Huge Debt, Brown Pikmin are resistant to sand, and have knife-like arms to cut vegetation with.

In Pikmin: Poko Palooza
Brown Pikmin in Pikmin: Poko Palooza are explosion-resistant and have a tail that they use to repel bomb rocks.

In Pikmin: Spider Attack
Brown Pikmin are special Pikmin found in Pikmin: Spider Attack. They are resistant to dark patches of dirt, which they can dig and get ship parts and materials. Other Pikmin will simply sink into the mud, suffocating them and killing them.

Brown Pikmin seem to be a muddy Red Pikmin. Nothing much except they are brown.

Birch Forest - Found first right next to a tree. Cave Den - Brown Pikmin sprouts can be found next to a pond. Rocky Gravel - If not completed the right path, a single brown sprout will be in the center of the middle path. If Olimar comes near it, he and his Pikmin will be swarmed by Empreror Bulblaxes.

KirbyRider's version
A Brown Pikmin is a type of pikmin. It's tan, but is covered with brown silk. The pikmin's silk is explosion-proof. Because its silk is explosion-proof, it is very useful while fighting enemies that use strong explosions such as the Gatling Groink and the Man-at-Legs. It is from the Supernova Candypop Bud. It latches on enemies via silk, so it will swoop into the enemy once shaken off.
