Editing Goolix family

{{game icons|p=y|p4=y}}
The '''goolix family''' is a family of large single-celled organisms, introduced in {{p1}}, although the family went unclassified until {{p4}}. It has two members, which are both [[boss]]es. They are both blobs of substance that can stretch and have cores that the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] should attack. They are both described as massive single celled organisms. Members belong to the ''Mononuclei'' and ([[Canon#Debatable_canon|unofficially]]) the ''Binuclei'' genus.

Scientific name: ''Mononuclei stellacodus''

The Foolix is a boss from {{p4}} that disguises itself as a drop of [[nectar]] when it is actually an enormous creature. However, unlike the [[Goolix]], it attacks like the [[Mysterious Life-Form]] by trapping the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] inside of it.

''Official family unknown''

Scientific name: ''Binuclei siphonophorus''

The Goolix is a boss that only appears in {{p1}} in [[The Impact Site]] on odd-numbered days from day 9 (the player will encounter the [[Mamuta]] on even-numbered days from day 8 instead). It attacks by drowning [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] that touches it; therefore, it is harmless to [[Blue Pikmin]].

== Naming ==
The name of the family comes from the [[Goolix]], which comes from the word "goo".

== Trivia ==
* The family may have been intended to be named the Water Slime family in ''Pikmin'', as Goolix's technical name in the ''Pikmin'' Player's Guide is the Greater Water Slime. These technical names often incorporate the name of the family the creature belongs to.
