The '''Foolix''' ({{j|ミツモチ|Mitsumochi|Nectar Mochi}}) is a [[boss]] enemy in {{p4}}. A relative of the [[Goolix]], it is found in the fourth and final sublevel of the [[Secluded Courtyard]].

Unlike the Goolix, its primary attack is to absorb Pikmin (and possibly the player) into its body; It is also far more aggressive in its movements and will try to stretch itself in order to engulf them more effectively. After some time, any captured Pikmin will be digested and die. It will try to face the player at all times, as the tail of its nucleus is its weakness. When the tail is pulled with the strength of 15 Pikmin, it will burst into pieces and be vulnerable to attack. Eventually, it will wave its flagellum in the air and recollect its cytoplasm. When it reforms, any Pikmin attacking the Foolix will be engulfed. | Unlike the Goolix, its primary attack is to absorb Pikmin (and possibly the player) into its body; It is also far more aggressive in its movements and will try to stretch itself in order to engulf them more effectively.

Also, a not so important fact is that also that foolix’s goo, when desattached, can be destroyed by purples shockwave damage. | |||

The Foolix can be fought in one of two ways: the first is to get behind it and have Oatchi or at least 15 Pikmin pull on its tail when it extends through its cytoplasm, which will cause its nucleus to burst out of its membrane and leave it vulnerable until it can reform its cytoplasm. Using [[Ice Pikmin]] after its out of the goo will freeze it before | The Foolix can be fought in one of two ways: the first is to get behind it and have Oatchi or at least 15 Pikmin pull on its tail when it extends through its cytoplasm, which will cause its nucleus to burst out of its membrane and leave it vulnerable until it can reform its cytoplasm. Using [[Ice Pikmin]] after its out of the goo will freeze it before is can recover. A bomb rock will also cause the Foolix to burst if it is engulfed. | ||
Alternatively, Ice Pikmin can be used to freeze and shatter the Foolix for the same effect if it engulfs them, although this must be done quickly to avoid Pikmin losses since any Pikmin it has engulfed will be trapped inside it. With 100 Pikmin, the Foolix freezes in about one second, and Oatchi's Rush can instantly break it. By freezing the Foolix after the break, it's possible to defeat in two cycles without Spicy Spray. | Alternatively, Ice Pikmin can be used to freeze and shatter the Foolix for the same effect if it engulfs them, although this must be done quickly to avoid Pikmin losses since any Pikmin it has engulfed will be trapped inside it.

''"If you take the microorganisms I used to peer at through my microscope as a child and blow them up much, MUCH bigger, this is what you get. A huge, single-celled sweetie, it blorpily sloshes around in search of food. To this giant, we're the microorganisms!"'' | |||
=== Olimar's | ==== Olimar's Notes ==== | ||
''"A member of the Goolix family, this primitive life-form is made up of a single cell, which is quite odd given its size. Its nucleus is shaped like a bulbous star, and individuals move by using the fin at the end of its flagellum-like tail to quickly expand and contract its gelatinous body.'' | |||
If the nucleus is removed, its soft body loses all structure and splatters. But as long as the nucleus is still alive, the Foolix can return to its original form. | ''If the nucleus is removed, its soft body loses all structure and splatters.

Usually, the Foolix will mimic nectar and wait for its prey. Its gel, which includes fire-extinguishing fluids, will then expand to capture and feed on unsuspecting organisms. | ''Usually, the Foolix will mimic nectar and wait for its prey.
