The standard and iconic variant of the Pachimari species, these magnificent creatures are often spotted taking shelter in UFO Catchers for a majority of their lifespan, until they are adopted by loving families. Pachimari are able to reincarnate into Yachemons after death, this process is not yet understood completely. Regular, healthy Pachimari behavior includes, squeaking, being in an almost constant state of happiness, and bouncing around when dropped.

Pachimari

Pachimari is an in-universe fictional character. It is a creature that resembles an onion with a smiling face and green tentacles. Throughout Overwatch, pachimaris appear in multiple forms of media including plush toys, signs, film posters, and clothing.

Trivia

  • The creation of Pachimari came out of the need for toys in Hanamura's "UFO catchers" (Pachimari-brand claw machines). It was designed by concept artist David Kang who was inspired by the Korean word for onion which sounds like "pa."[1]
    • Because they are not essential to gameplay, pachimari plushes will not load within the Hanamura UFO catchers unless your own in-game graphics settings are "Medium" or higher. Graphics are now on "Low" by default, which is the most probable reason why certain veteran PC Overwatch players say that the pachimaris have "disappeared" from Hanamura.

    • Strangely, the footballs hidden in some of the UFO machines do, in fact, generate on "Low".
    • On Nintendo Switch (and possibly other consoles), there is no way to increase graphics quality above "Low", so Switch players can never see pachimari plushes on Hanamura, but they will still see one in the spawn room of Control maps.
  • Regardless of graphics settings, a single pachimari can be found on a table in the "MV-261 Orca" vehicle, which serves as the spawn room on Control maps (such as Ilios).
  • Roadhog is frequently depicted stealing Pachimari plushes, implying that he has a liking for them. He has a UFO catcher filled with pachimaris in his barn on the outskirts of Junkertown. This makeshift wooden structure is also the "Attack" spawn room, making it the second map (after Hanamura) to feature the UFO catcher.
    • Roadhog has two sprays and an emote featuring the pachimari, confirming his interest in them.
  • The sounds that pachimari plushes make when hit were created by Justin DeCloedt using a squeaky toy and a baby rattle.[2]
