From the Danbooru wiki
Scientific name: Pikminidae yokozunum
A variety of Pikmin that first appears in Pikmin 2. Their bodies are purple in color and they occasionally have a purple flower on their head. They are much larger than other Pikmin (10x heavier) and have small hairs on their head. Due to their weight, they are useful for certain puzzles and don't trip as much, but are also much slower. They are also very strong, being 10x stronger than other Pikmin.
