Poison

This article relates to the official games. See Pikipedia's "Poison" article for more official information.

Poison is a hazard that takes the form of a purple-colored gas, and is fatal to Pikmin that are not White Pikmin or Bulbmin – they will begin choking if the top of their stem is engulfed by poison gas. Choking Pikmin will run around in a panic and, if not saved, will eventually succumb and die. These Pikmin can be rescued by being whistled at. Poison gas is completely harmless to leaders, presumably because their spacesuits filter the air.

One of the White Pikmin's most notable traits is their relation to poison. They can withstand poisonous gas without choking, making them ideal to destroy poison sources. In addition, the White Pikmin themselves are poisonous – if an enemy ingests one, they will instantly receive some damage, and some purple particles will flow out of them, similar to the ones released from poison gas.

Poison is a bit different in Hey! Pikmin, mostly taking the form of poisonous lakes and attacks from the Berserk Leech Hydroe. Any Pikmin that falls in, or even Olimar himself, will instantly die.

Sources

Poison gas does not appear by itself but is rather emitted from a few sources.

• File:Gas pipe icon.png Gas pipe – small tubes sticking out from the ground that release steady streams of poison gas.
•  Berserk Leech Hydroe – capable of spitting balls of poison, or poison beams.
•  Doodlebug – releases a cloud of poison every time they move.
•  Heir Bulblax – can spew poison gas from its mouth.
•  Munge Dweevil – releases poison gas when attacked.
•  Munge Slooch – perpetually surrounded by poison gas and leaves a temporary trail of it in its wake.
• File:Poison Dart Wollywog icon.png Poison Dart Wollywog – poisons Pikmin on contact.
• File:Poisonous Beetle icon.png Poisonous Beetle – spews poison gas from its backside if two or more are near each other.
• File:Putrid Bulbear icon.png Putrid Bulbear – has a foul body odor and bad breath.
•  Ujadani – has a small chance of dispersing a short-lasting cloud of poison when attacked.

In Pikmin: Wide World

"It's a jungle out there!" This article or section presents information pertaining to Pikmin: Wide World, a fanon game created by Cheepy-Cheepy.

Poison is a common hazard appearing in Pikmin: Wide World. White Pikmin are resistant to it. Other Pikmin that touch poison will begin flailing around, choking, a cloud of it engulfing the end of the stem, but they can be whistled to save them. Leaders are unaffected by poison because of their suits' filtration systems. Poison can be utilized by leaders by using a dose of ultra-toxic spray, which can be gained by collecting enough of a Spiny Spiderwort's berries or by finding a drop of it. Upon use, a large cloud of poison will appear around the leader that used the spray and will linger there for some time before dissipating. This cloud deters most enemies, harming those passing through it, but it can also endanger any Pikmin except White Pikmin. Enemies that utilize poison, however, may pass through without harm, and some enemies, such as the Stubborn Bulblon, do not care if they are hurt by the poison cloud. Smoke bomb rocks, upon being set off, emit poison gas for some time before becoming inert. It is highly recommended that White Pikmin carry them and that the smoke bomb rocks they are carrying be used to keep enemies at bay. Gas pipes are the most common poison-related hazard and can be found within bramble gates to form poison bramble gates, much like how fire geysers can be found within bramble gates to form fire bramble gates.
