Star Pikmin

Star Pikmin are a special kind of Pikmin. They can be brought out after Sunset, which is normally where days end and can be used to light areas so that the Captain and the Pikmin they bring with them can see. They are unique in that they can extend the day so long as they are part of the group of Pikmin. When the player runs out of Star Pikmin, they will game over unless they get back to the Onions before the clock runs out.
==Description==
Their appearance is similar to the Yellow Pikmin, with a star hanging off their head instead of the regular bulb. This star is said to have a squishy quality to it, as if this is where the Pikmin stores their fluids.
==Abilities==
Star Pikmin are unique in that they light up the area and can generally ward off predators that would attack Olimar at night. As such, the player can extend their time before they have to get back to the Onions. This is slightly risky as the moment all the Star Pikmins disappear, the player will need to scramble back to the Onions or they will get a game over.
They can also attack with a low-damaging projectile that resembles a star. This has very little effect on monsters except for enemies with the "Wraith" title. They generally have the same stats as Yellow Pikmin except are not immune to electricity.
==Obtaining==
A Star Pikmin can be created by sending Yellow Pikmin into Crystalized Lakes, which will transform them into Star Pikmin. There is no limit to how many Yellow Pikmin can be converted, but these Crystalized Lakes are very far away from where the Onions are located.
==Appearances==
===Pikmin: Ultrahunt===
Star Pikmin appear in Pikmin: Ultrahunt as a special kind of Pikmin. They have the ability to blind enemies in this game as well as light up areas. When put into the Vaccun, they can be used as a flash light for Hestia, although they have average attacking power. They also lose their immunity to electricity. Since Hestia lacks a working whistle, Star Pikmin either need to be vacuumed off a foe they're attacking or gathered after the foe goes down. They can be used multiple times because of this. They are introduced in the Corrosive Cave area.
