Eli

Eli is a new character introduced in Pikmin E and is the second playable leader in the game. He first appears in the introduction sequence, when he collides with Captain Olimar's spaceship at a high speed. He is a humanoid that resembles a feline, and his perk is jumping. After the game is completed, a Piklopedia entry for Eli and notes on him from Olimar and Louie become accessible, however, Olimar's notes contains huge plot spoilers.

In Pikmin E: The Next Adventure, Eli returns as a boss in the Traitor's Den. After he is fought, he explains how he isn't a threat and just wishes to live his own life, and is then unlocked as a leader and will remain so for the rest of the game.
