In the lore of Nintendo's Pikmin series, Pikmin are named after Pikpik carrots — a vegetable from Captain Olimar's homeworld Hocotate that resembles the sentient plant-like beings which help him rebuild the S.S. Dolphin. The comparison is apt given Pikmin are frequently eaten by the wild creatures inhabiting Earth (or PNF-404 as it's named by the protagonists of Pikmin 3), and Pikpik carrots can be fed to any enemy in Pikmin 2 through its Piklopedia feature. Niantic's mobile game Pikmin Bloom seems especially interested in linking Pikmin with edible goods.
