The '''Goolix''' | The '''Goolix''' is a watery boss in the [[Pikmin (game)|first ''Pikmin'' game]]; on approaching its location, it emerges from the ground. It resembles a blue amoeba with two nuclei (a blue one and a larger yellow one). It stretches around to engulf [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] who happen to be in its path and drowns them out with its aquatic properties. The only Pikmin invulnerable to it are [[Blue Pikmin]], due to it being composed mostly of [[water]]. Its weak point is the larger nucleus. However, [[Blue Pikmin]] that are [[throw]]n at it will immediately attack the smaller nucleus, which is much less resistant to damage. The only solution is to throw your Pikmin directly on top of the yellow nucleus. If Pikmin are trying to attack the blue nucleus when one hits the yellow one, the damage taken by the Goolix is multiplied. If more Pikmin attack the blue nucleus, the damage will go even higher. When it is attacked, it will smack the nuclei together, knocking off all Pikmin on it. When it is defeated, its membrane breaks and its watery insides spray out in all directions, leaving no trace it was ever there, besides dropping 4 [[Randomness|random]] colored 5 [[pellet]]s. It is only found in [[The Impact Site]] on odd-numbered days starting from day 9 (even-numbered days starting from day 8 will have the [[Mamuta]] instead). | ||

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 Blues that are attacking the smaller, blue nucleus may be knocked into the out-of-bounds, forest like terrain. Many things can happen 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. | |||

*When not in motion, the Goolix has almost the exact same proportions as a [[nectar]] or [[spray]] drop. | *In the Goolix's scientific name, '''''Binuclei Siphonophorus''''', the "binuclei" part mean "binuclear", and the "siphonophorus" part means "siphonophores", a group of invertibrates with a gelatinous appearence.

*In the enemy reel, the Goolix is in the [[Forest Navel]] instead of the usual [[Impact Site]]. This may be a clip of the Pikmin game when it was still in early development. | |||
