Pikmin NPC Species Sheets

Here I've got sheets for individual types of Pikmin as well as a sheet for how to treat them as a whole squad, which works like the Shy Guy army and the Fuzzy Horde, with the whole group being treated as one targetable entity. Keep in mind that in addition to the different colors, Pikmin can also be found in Leaf, Bud, and Flower forms; in Arpeggio, higher life stages allow them more hits per turn. I've also added my own variety, Groinkmin, an old idea I've had since Pikmin 2, as well as two types from a fanfiction that I like, Fluff Pikmin and Thorn Pikmin. To avoid squads getting excessively complicated, I've said that Pikmin, whether solo or in a squad, are immune to all Status Problems and Status Benefits except for Instant Death, but you can get them a combined Attack +1 and Fast status by using an Ultra-Spicy Spray, an item that only works on Pikmin (again, whether singular or a whole squad).

These Pikmin mechanics are somewhat tongue-in-cheek as a full squad is dealing damage in the hundreds to a Defenseless target but is rendered completely harmless by a few points of Defense. However, Arpeggio could be converted from an experience taking after Paper Mario to one more resembling Pikmin by giving enemies hundreds of HP but no Defense. For a Pikmin squad to appear in a more typical game of Arpeggio, care should be taken so that their mechanics don't end up causing something unexpected; things might be made slightly less ridiculous by limiting the squad's maximum number to something much smaller than 100 (as was eventually explored in the actual series).
