A Compiled List of the Reasons Louie is the Most Unhinged & Unfathomable character Nintendo has ever created
Spent his childhood eating bugs and now finds ways to prepare & eat various pnf-404 creatures, which wouldn't be all that unusual...EXCEPT THAT THE ENTIRE REST OF THE HOCOTATIAN RACE ARE VEGETARIANS. HES A GENETIC ANOMALY.
has to actively restrain himself from eating the pikmin and still fantasized about how they taste
has attempted to eat a majority of the treasures we collect
Consumed his bosses entire cargo of golden pikpik carrots and then lied about it.
Attempted to transform multiple innocent people into leaflings solely because he was advised by Olimar to mimic him at work. thats it, there's no other reason for this behaviour
Tried to kill us like three times now for no reason other than...wanting to be left alone I guess???
Stole food from groups of stranded explorers, twice. Both of which were koppaite teams trying to save their people from starvation.
Jumped off the S.S Shepherd during takeoff with the desire to stay on pnf-404 forever, seemingly not putting into account the fact that his life support will run out eventually. Or maybe he did think about that and wants to become a leafling, who the hell knows.
Has somehow managed to tame and control what, like two or three different wild beasts now? Which he then used to try to kill us as previously mentioned.
Appears to be selectively mute and also ignores Olimar & everyone else for no good reason.
Tried to eat the water wraith.
he never gives any explanation for any of his behaviour. He's just like that, he's a complete and utter enigma to his own kind, pnf-404, and the rest of the universe.
In conclusion: Louie is a little freak, I absolutely adore him, and Miyamoto had to have been on something to create the weird lil guy and continue his unexplained antics in every pikmin game since then.
