Pikmin

Pikmin are a plant-animal life-form first
encountered by Captain Olimar when his
ship crash-lands on an uncharted planet.
The Pikmin are loyal to their leaders,
although their criteria for deciding a leader
is unclear. Pikmin are tiny, but they are strong,
hard working, and always ready to help.
"What a joy it was to meet these Pikmin
again upon crash-landing here!" -Captain Olimar
