The '''Goolix''' ({{j|ミズモチ|Mizu Mochi|Water {{w|Mochi}}}}) is a watery [[enemy]] in the [[Pikmin (game)|first ''Pikmin'' game]]. It resembles a blue amoeba with two nuclei, a blue one and a larger yellow one. Upon approaching its location, it emerges from the ground. It stretches around to engulf [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] who happen to be in its path, and drowns [[Red Pikmin]] and [[Yellow Pikmin]], which cannot breathe in [[water]]. The only Pikmin invulnerable to it are [[Blue Pikmin]]. | The '''Goolix''' ({{j|ミズモチ|Mizu Mochi|Water {{w|Mochi}}}}) is a watery [[enemy]] in the [[Pikmin (game)|first ''Pikmin'' game]].

===''Pikmin'' Official Player's Guide description=== | |||
{{transcript|Floating within the greater water slime's transparent body are its dual nuclei. The greater water slime's nervous system is contained within its main nucleus, which displays a marbleized sheen. The greater water slime's secondary nucleus is beige in color and serves as a defense system to weaken prey and nutrients that have been absorbed through the organism's amorphous membrane. Prior to absorption, most prey will succumb to the watery membrane, which coats the greater water slime's body.}} | |||
{{transcript|Only blue Pikmin can safely penetrate the goolix's blobby body. Lead your Pikmin toward the vulnerable blue nucleus, then hit X to unleash them.}} | |||

{{transcript|This mysterious creature consists of dual nuclei contained within a slimy water-filled membrane. Only water-resistant blue Pikmin are able to penetrate the membrane and dole out damage.}} | |||

The Goolix remains invisible and is inactive until Olimar or a Pikmin approaches its area. When this happens the creature will reveal itself, scattering any nearby Pikmin. When active, it will slink around, aiming for Olimar. It has no specific attacks, but its touch will damage Olimar and cause any non-blue Pikmin to suffer from the water effect. Only [[Blue Pikmin]] can penetrate the Goolix's membrane and attack one of its two cores. When under attack, the only threat the creature poses is flinging Pikmin from it, possibly causing them to lose their [[Maturity|flowers or buds]]. Once defeated, the Goolix will dissolve, leaving four 5-pellets and no corpse. | The Goolix remains invisible and is inactive until Olimar or a Pikmin approaches its area.

If the Goolix is near the right of the tree-stump arena and the yellow, brain-like nucleus is hit by a Blue Pikmin, that Pikmin, or the other Blue Pikmin that are attacking the smaller, blue nucleus may be knocked into the out-of-bounds, forest-like terrain. Several occurrences can take place when this occurs: Either the Pikmin will slide around (throwing Pikmin onto this ledge reveals that it's slippery, as the Pikmin will slide off) and then fall off the ledge and into the area with the [[Pearly Clamclamp]]s or where the [[Main Engine]] was, or they slide too far for Olimar to call back (some will even continue sliding until they are off-screen and then will die). These Pikmin will be left behind unless you reset the day. | If the Goolix is near the right of the tree-stump arena and the yellow, brain-like nucleus is hit by a Blue Pikmin, that Pikmin, or the other Blue Pikmin that are attacking the smaller, blue nucleus may be knocked into the out-of-bounds, forest-like terrain.
