#pikmin wraith
Text
wanted to try to design a wraith based more on american myths and fears. cryptids are often shadowy, fleeting masses in the unknown wilderness.
there's also a lot of superstition about ghosts or entities that lurk in peripherals or dark corners
—
there but never wanting to be seen.
it's unknown if it's malevolent. it follows the captain around on the cave floor, observing. i think it would foster paranoia. it undoes item collection progress or rearranges when you aren't looking
—
would make for an interesting game of hide and seek, depending on who's doing the seeking.....

little bit more about my wraith oc (because people in the tags seemed to like it & that made me very happys)
i've been calling it the bubble wraith! it acts very curious and childlike, and doesn't seem to have the means or desire to attack pikmin directly, but it can steal pikmin from your group by ensnaring their leaves in some of the frothy pink bubbles that make up its body, putting the pikmin under its control
it can take the vague shape of most creatures, but it loves to mimic the captains. its even picked up a little bit of language (though stilted and in a garbly, alien voice) but all it talks about is wanting to "play" <:]

We received an S.O.S. signal from a crashed ship and went to investigate. Upon arrival, we discovered this large, nectar-based life form had absconded with a piece of the ship we were looking for! It is unknown the true nature of the Nectar Wraith, as it seems quite ambivalent to any space farers, and very amicable to the native Pikmin, gathering it in the foliage on its back and ferrying them to places they couldn't possibly get to. We managed to crack the amber head on it to get back the stolen ship part, but it retreated with a rather upset sounding groan, taking any loose Pikmin with it... Does it mean any harm, or is it trying to help? What does it want with these ship parts, and why do the Pikmin have such loyalty to this thing?

Hhhheeyyy so I'm back on the Pikmin fix.
Specifically, back to the Wraith AUs.
SO here are the designs I cooked for some shapeshifting Water and Plasm wraith AUs!
Obviously, with how old Pikmin is, this has definitely been done before, but I'd just like to put my own spin on it!
vv Click more for some lore dumping + rough sketches! vv
-
My idea for these two is their constant struggle to keep up their more human-like forms contradicts the monstrous forms they're most comfortable in.
Why they would even want to be human-like in the first place is up for interpretation but my thoughts were they'd want some form of connection, rather than isolating themselves.
The Waterwraith's design is heavily based on art depictions of Umibōzu, the Japanese yokai the wraith is actually based off of, while the Plasm Wraith is more simplistic and keeps to it's original design, yet it's ears resemble a Nyūdō.
-
The Plasm Wraith is more stable with its shapeshifting as it's demonstrated the ability to shapeshift in Pikmin 3. Though here its unable to change certain features like it's hole and it's core, which is always vulnerable.
The Waterwraith, on the other hand, is always unable to hold its shape and will fall apart within seconds if not held together. In it's partial form, the Water wraith has purple ripples along his form since they're unable to keep the transparent/dimensional form it's known for.
Both wraiths are more comfortable in the partial forms, but are always vulnerable unless they do their full form.
-
Yes, Water has roller skates. Why? Because it's funny.
-
I decided to give Water a Bulbmin since they only appear in the Submerged Castle. It just felt right.
Plasm, though, is lowkey scared of Pikmin after the Koppaites happened.
-
Both can use any pronouns!

I forgot to post these here! another Pik-sona,
The Lunar Wraith
More info under the cut:
the lunar wraith is a mysterious being, even by wraith standards. Much more intelligent and curious than other documented wraiths, reported to sit and observe captains from a distance before becoming invisible and intangible upon approach.
the full extent of their abilities and their roll in the planet's ecology is unknown, but aside from shapeshifting, mastery of elements, and warping of space-time itself it appears to responsible for much higher populations of creatures than other surrounding areas, creating them from it's own biomass and seemingly mutating normal life to it's tastes.
the lunar wraith is best described with two words: 'Curious' and "Playful", it does not act out of malice but wishes to learn about the things it sees, toying with them and performing 'experiments'.
it is believed that this wraith can even Speak galactic standard, but it is uncertain if this is an illusion or psychic phenomena as the being does not register on electronic equipment.

More on the Tang Wraith. I want it to be something you can challenge after you encounter it.
You play a game of hide and seek that increases in difficulty. It's a master of deception, so be careful with how you gamble
it might give you some other useless treasure as a reward, like a crystal tiara, a bottle of vanilla, a car fob, or a pallet knife.

i tried to make a wraith
mushroom wraith. i was gonna use like. actual mushroom cloud colors but it'd look too much like the plasm wraith i think and i like the green of the glow pikmin and adventure time mushroom war
it has four legs bc waterwraith doesnt (usually) walk at all and plasm wraith walks on two legs, same reason for the holes in its face
the things on the legs are like spinnerets but they shoot poisonous gas
