For the longest time, I’ve been speculating and imagining how could Olimar and the other captains and explorers could exist, (pikmin and other PNF-404 creatures too but I’ll do that a different time when I grow my biology knowledge). More precisely what, how, and why they are the way they are. And also what the descriptions of their planets lends to their biology. I’ve seen a couple of really neat takes on their biology, planets and speculations on the intergalactic societies of their respective planets. But, I’d like to offer my own interpretations and speculations to the table of headcanons. I feel like some facts are left out. I’d also love to dive into the social, political, and cultural aspects of each planet So, I present to you, the *speculated* biology of Hocotate, Koppai/Karut (probably has the same biology as Koppai with it being a sister planet), Giya, Ohri and Nijo!

- General Stuff Before We Get Started -

According to Pikmin 3’s beginning narration, Koppai is 270,000 light years away, which would likely put it in or around the Small Magellanic Cloud (which actually has been recently found to be composed of 2 dwarf galaxies, how cool is that!). I spent a good while researching the stars of the SMC, LMC and Price Whelan 1 and determined that every planet fits within all of these. For the major six planets, I put Giya and Ohri in the Price Whelan 1 cluster since it’s the closest to PNF-404 (their origin point), Hocotate and Nijo in the Large Magellanic Cloud and Koppai and Karut in the Small Magellanic Cloud, not for any reason other then stars there seemed to fit the planets and just for fun.

let’s get the stuff that applies to all of Pikmin’s captains biology out of the way. Key points; all seem to have a completely different respiratory system than ours, all are very small in size (averaging 1 cm), and all lack any sort of “natural” hair colour or shape. That seems rather strange, considering that the Japanese Pikmin Garden website and Pikmin 4’s logs give strong evidence that they are all descendants of us humans. In order for such change and adaptation on a molecular scale to happen, evolution, naturally, would happen at a very, very slow pace. I don’t think humanity took its time to slowly adapt to different conditions, evidently so in the fact that PNF-404 appears to be abandoned on the spot. It’s all so sudden. And that leads me to believe that humanity might’ve evolved fast and forcefully, or in other terms, some sort of bio-engineering took place. Bio-engineering appears to exist and be advanced, as suggested by Pitunia’s claim that she was made by a “biocrafter”. Anyways, boom, now we have humanity being able have whatever hair they can think of on a whim (looking at you, Puddle) and the ability to breath the air of whatever planets they’ve taken refuge on that are devoid of oxygen. Speaking of breathing, animals from Earths past show evidence of growth with higher oxygen concentrations and shrinkage with oxygen depletion, look at the Carboniferous period and the insects then. Perhaps with the low amounts and therefore low oxygen tolerance of them did they become small to conserve energy? Smaller beings need much less energy and air to survive and sustain themselves.

Also obviously planets aren’t going to have the same culture and architecture across the world, that’s like saying everywhere on Earth has the exact same kinda stuff lol

Many others I forgot what I did

I will do the planets in the following order; Hocotate, Koppai, Karut, Giya, Ohri and Nijo! Stay tuned for Hocotate amigos :)

EDIT: Here’s the map. I’m going to post it here too cause why not

-GIYA (Giyans)-

- Location: Hydra constellation, Price-Whelan 1 cluster, 100,000 ly to PNF-404

- Solar system: G5V like Kappa1Ceti

- Atmosphere/environment: Atmospheric composition surprisingly very similar to PNF-404, abundant in oxygen, slightly more nitrogen

- Respiratory system: Same as Hocotates, just with more pronounced lung use

- Organs/circulatory system: bruv I don’t know

- Physical build: The tallest of all star people, the most reminiscent of their human ancestors, also pretty tall because they are situated on a planet that is half the gravity as Koppai. Most diverse in skin tones due to the fact it is a multicultural colony but most Giyans are warm toned. Muscles are fairly decent in strength. Giyans are relatively critical of their hair, priding themselves in their abilities to use it as an expression of creativity and identity. Colourful irises and pupils, a distinctive trait that can be edited with gene editing technology before birth (so like designer babies, which is my head canon for why they are so diverse in appearance). Long, almost rectangular shaped ears, longest in fact out of everyone, mouths extremely diverse in shape yet all of them possess jaws that are strong enough to break down hard foods. Noses are long and cylindrical in shape

- Physical build: As I said above, they are the tallest of all people with their planet being the least gravity intense of the bunch

- Metabolism/diet: Omnivores capable of devouring the same foodstuffs as their human ancestors did with no limitations or allergies of sorts

- Architecture: Built in the image of X-Seed 4000, a real hypothetical mega structure of immense size and height. All structures are organic in shape and form, like smooth porcelain pots with holes poked in them to make way for plants, although it’s not made with porcelain it’s made with modified clays, steels and plastics. Made to be as bright and open as possible, and easy to remove or add to. Architecture makes way for parks and green spaces for the public to stroll

- Aesthetic: Frutiger Eco/Technozen/Biopunk

- Colour palette: White, lime, sky blue, green, green lights

- Culture: All native Giyans are direct descendants of the first humans to flee Earth and establish the colony on Giya. They are very heavily into biological sciences, as respect to their ancestors that created them and the goal to continue civilization through bio editing, hence every current Giyan is artificially born as some sort of test tube or designer baby to boost evolution and resilience to other planets. As a communal colony, support of each other is very important and taught to be more or less the very foundation of survival on top of the knowledge of sciences

- Government: Cultural nepotism as we see with the Shepherd family and Russ’s families mega corporation. Looks to be pretty socialist and but in reality it is more communist

- Industries: Social services, solar energy collected with solar panels, heavily into genetic engineering and modification,

- Interplanetary relations: Respected by all planets for its origins as the first home of all interstellar peoples and relied on for its social services like rescue, public health and education

- Quick summary: A communist community and bio-science based colony that believes strongly in mutual support and cooperation for the benefit of all who exists in the past, present and future
