In Pikmin 2... Again?
The Original Pikmin is a prehistoric Pikmin species in Pikmin 2... Again? that was thought to have been extinct. They were the first Pikmin type ever to exist, and are light gray and with no unique physical characteristics, their light coloration referencing how idle Pikmin look in. They are not found until after the Supreme Dweevil is defeated as they are found in a hidden area blocked by an amethyst gate, which only they can break down. Some join the squad afterward and the Original Onion can be found using them. In other game modes, Original Pikmin have their own candypop bud, the Prehistoric Candypop Bud. Aside from being able to destroy amethyst gates, Original Pikmin are immune to magic, an otherwise dangerous, unpredictable hazard.
