Flarlic

Dice finely, grate, sauté in oil... I can

barely stand the grumbling in my

tummy right now. But when you see

one of these shiver or twitch, you'll

realize that this is a living thing, and

we must treat it with consideration

as such!

While it doesn't sprout or create

Pikmin, this specimen is still a type

of Onion. A bulb like this one can be

divided into seven segments, is highly

nutrient dense, and contains strong

energizing and analeptic effects.

The compounds responsible for its

characteristic smell resemble Onion

growth hormones. When absorbed by

an Onion, it fulfills a critical role in

Pikmin proliferation by increasing the

total number of Pikmin that can be

withdrawn from the Onion at any

given time.

Just like Onions, it contains muscle

fibers, but flarlic has no animalistic

qualities to speak of. However, if you

place one near an Onion, it may start

to move a bit, as though it's trying

to roll over so it can be absorbed.

Sauté in oil to add a fragrant spice

to your dish. But eat too much, and

you'll smell like it for days.

When an Onion absorbs this whitish

bulb, it seems to perk up and increases

the Pikmin you can lead by 10. The

scent reminds me of the garlic on my

planet. I'm tempted to have a nibble,

but for now I'll just call it "flarlic" and

leave the taste test for another day.

There's a limit to how many Pikmin you can withdraw on the

surface. Have your Onion absorb flarlic to increase that limit.
