Steel Pikmin

"Olimar"

- Just look at that shining metal sheen, my scanners read that the substance is heavy and prone to tarnish.

Steel Pikmin are a species of Pikmin appearing in Pikmin: Neo. Like the name suggests they have a metallic steel-like appearance to them with black leaves/flowers. This steel body makes them extremely heavy giving them the lowest throw height of all Pikmin, lower than even Rock Pikmin. This weight makes them heavy enough to even survive under Water bodies. Their metal bodies also give them resistance to the force of Magnetism, shocking Electricity, and misty Poison. In fact they can also harness magnetism and electricity and use that to power up their attacks giving them homing abilities or increased damage as well as attract metal objects and power machines. However they also are susceptible to the combustion of Fire and corrosive Acid, instantly killing them when they make contact with the substances. Like the other types of Pikmin, you need to hunt for their vault to free their seeds and fuse 25 together into an Onion. This is the Steel Vault which is found in a deep underwater cave.
