Pikmin: The Pollution
Olimar

Before getting Rock Pikmin

"This Pikmin can resist even absolute zero temperature. It seems fluffy, like fur."

After getting Rock Pikmin

"This Pikmin can resist even absolute zero temperature. It seems fluffy, like fur. I noticed that their mysterious purple eyes can detect living things. I found out when they found the Rock Pikmin."

Sierra

"This is quite the fascinating species! I can't believe how some succeed where others fail in nature. This species is used to the cold, and is quite soft like a pillow. Their vibrant eyes allowed them to find me even when they probably couldn't. I think this is my favorite of the Pikmin."

Pikmin: Return to the Distant Planet
Sagittarius

"I have just discovered another type of pikmin. These Pikmin seem to be resistant to the cold and freezing ice. I shall call them Cyan Pikmin, after their light shade of blue"

Abilities
In most games, they resist ice-based attacks.

<dl> <dt>Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds<dd>Their thick fur allows them to trap body heat, which makes them warm enough to be unaffected by ice and snow hazards. It should be noted, however, that since they lack gills like Blue Pikmin, they will drown in water.

<dt>Pikmin: Distant Planet, Pikmin: Mysterious Raiders<dd>When they strike a metal target, small bits of pressurized water shower the metal target, rusting it so it can be broken apart. In addition, Cyan Pikmin can siphon water out of an icy target, eliminating piles of snow or icy surfaces. If buried Cyan Pikmin sprouts are showered by water of some sort, they will quickly become flowered Pikmin.

<dt>Pikmin Galaxy Adventure<dd>It is water and poison resistant (due to its color being light blue) and it is also ice & mist resistant, making it very useful for crossing poisonous water.

<dt>PikSpore<dd>They are resistant to water, ice and cold water.

<dt>Pikmin: Shadow Planet<dd>They can break ice.

<dt>Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs<dd>Can defeat Darkfreeze enemies.

<dt>Pikmin 4:Adventure<dd>Slowest Pikmin after Purple,can also swim in water.It has a power to cure frozen Pikmin.

<dt>Pikmin 3 by a Guest<dd>Can throw freeze-rocks at water or frozen water to allow all colors across.

<dt>Pikmin: The Pollution<dd>They are immune to Frost. They can also detect hidden enemies using their purple eyes in a similar vein to White Pikmin. </dl> Pikmin: Return to the Distant Planet They are immune to frost and ice based attacks. They can also clear away cold mist and have higher attack damage than normal.

Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs
In Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs, Cyan Pikmin, their respective Onion, and Teal Candypop Buds can be found in the Land of Wonders, more specifically the Arctic Territory. Cyan Pikmin are immune to being chilled, an effect produced by both Freezerburnt Breadbugs and Cold Water. Cyan Pikmin, upon entering Cold Water, will not be chilled, but will drown. Blue Pikmin have the opposite effect; they will not drown, but they will become chilled.

Pikmin 4 (Wii U)
In Pikmin 4, Cyan Pikmin are discovered by Alph in Silver Lake. They are resistant to freezing and cold.

Pikmin: Theme Park
They are immune to Ice and can swim in Water. They are the counterpart of Blue Pikmin. Their mobility in Water is doubled.

Pikmin: Spectrum
Cyan Pikmin appear in Pikmin: Spectrum, they are born from the Cyan Onion and Teal Candypop Buds.

Anatomy

Cyan Pikmin resemble standard pikmin but with a few differences, to protect themselves from the cold they developed a layer of soft fur around their entire bodies which has the feel of cotton, their leaves and flowers (which are lavender in color) have a soft felt like texture.

They share some anatomy with blue pikmin mainly a tiny dot shaped mouth where they shoot cold air and their heights are similar.

Abilities and Stats

Cyan Pikmin store cold air inside their organs which they breath out over watery surfaces allowing the creation of temporary paths, these paths can be traveled on by all pikmin types allowing other pikmin movement across water.

Cyan Pikmin have standard stats all around but they have a speed advantage when fighting on surfaces with bad traction such as ice or grease becoming almost as fast as white pikmin.

Cyan Pikmin are immune to ice based hazards such as blizzards and cold vents but are very weak to fire hazards as the fire will incinerate them instantly.

Olimar's Journal

Like how Red Pikmin gained the immunity to fire Cyan Pikmin gained an immunity to ice, strangely these creatures share anatomy with Blue Pikmin such as vestigial gills which are repurposed as a sort of cold sprayer, my theory is that a population of blue pikmin got separated and natural selection caused these pikmin to change appearance, this planet sure has changed a lot since my last visit.

Trivia

Cyan Pikmin is the winning result of the first pikmin creating job in the Pikmin Spectrum Thread in Smashbourds.
