Blue Pikmin, as their name implies, are a blue species of Pikmin that reside on PNF-404. Besides coloration, these Pikmin are distinguishable from other Pikmin species by their mouths, a trait seen in no other Pikmin species. These mouths are used to take in water, which filters oxygen through the gills located on their cheeks. This gives them the astonishing ability to live their lives completely underwater. Producing more of them can be easily done by dragging nutrients or animal carcasses, carried by Blue Pikmin, to the Onion or by throwing other species into a Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud. Blue Pikmin, as well as Bulbmin and certain Puffmin can operate underwater; any other color will simply flail around in panic before drowning (however, Ice Pikmin can float on and freeze water, so they can't drown in bodies of water either).

Trivia[]
- In the beta for Pikmin, Blue Pikmin were the first Pikmin type discovered.
- Blue and Red Pikmin were originally able to carry Bomb Rocks in Pikmin, something that would later become an actual thing in Pikmin 3.
- The Forest of Hope and Formidable Oak are the only two areas in the first three Pikmin games where Blue Pikmin are not required at all.
- Since Blue Pikmin are seldomly required to complete tasks and are discovered relatively late, many players have done playthroughs where they play through the game with as little help from Blue Pikmin as possible.
- Blue Pikmin are always depicted in danger in all the promotional material, notably the Boxart for the games. Also, in the Pikmin Shorts, only three pikmin die, one being Red and Two being Blue. From Electrocution and being eaten.
