'''Moss''' ({{j|モス|Mosu|Moss}}) is a space dog in {{p4}}. In the game's prologue she is found by [[Captain Olimar]] when he crash-lands on [[PNF-404]] and quickly befriends her, helping him throughout his search for [[S.S. Dolphin|his ship]]'s missing [[ship part]]s. After the prologue, Moss is seen accompanied by a [[leafling]]-transformed Olimar, and accompanies him during [[Dandori Battle]]s. Much later on, she accompanies [[Louie]] in the same fashion. She is only ever seen with a leaf on the tip of her tail, much like the one atop a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]'s stem. | '''Moss''' ({{j|モス|Mosu|Moss}}) is a space dog in {{p4}}.

An exception is how she learns new skills: in Dandori Battles her skills depend on the exact cave Olimar is faced, and in Olimar's Shipwreck Tale, instead of exchanging [[Pup Drive]], she gains new abilities as rewards for the ship parts Olimar recovers. | ||

Unlike Oatchi, Moss is seen to be a native of PNF-404, with Olimar speculating that her leafy tail has actually been that way since birth, similar to the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Despite being born light-years apart from each other, Oatchi and Moss are both stated to descend from the PNF-404 native [[Ancient Sirehound]], which Olimar believes suggests something deeper about the nature of their universe. | Unlike Oatchi, Moss is seen to be a native of PNF-404, with Olimar speculating that her leafy tail has actually been that way since birth, similar to the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]].

Until Olimar's vault is opened and the entrance to [[Leafy Showdown]] is discovered, Moss can be found in the [[Hero's Hideaway]].

She will seek out Pikmin (both idle ones and ones in the player's squad), and [[whistle]] for them to put them under her [[confusion|control]], much like an [[Antenna Beetle]] in {{p2}}. Upon gathering Pikmin, she will try to run off with them; if she does so, she will toss them on a fan which leads to the bunker. These Pikmin then stay lying on the ground on the bunker's table, and need to be [[whistle]]d. Despite them not reacting to the [[Idler's Alert]], they do react to the [[Homesick Signal]]. The only way to gather Pikmin under Moss's control before she brings them to the bunker is if she takes significant damage, at which point she will let them go and try to escape | She will seek out Pikmin (both idle ones and ones in the player's squad), and [[whistle]] for them to put them under her [[confusion|control]], much like an [[Antenna Beetle]] in {{p2}}.

Moss takes damage like any enemy, and can even be damaged by other enemies.{{cite youtube|KpicrzqMoiU|documenting Moss's interactions|published={{date|17|September|2023}}|retrieved={{date|6|October|2023}}|rname=oatchi_vs_moss}}. If she takes a lot of damage, she will run off to a corner of the house in a panic, dropping captured Pikmin along the way. Once she reaches the corner, she will fall asleep so she can heal herself. Waking her up some time after this nap will cause her to become active like normal again. Moss cannot be permanently defeated; when her health is depleted she will be incapacitated and begin regenerating her health over a period of exactly five minutes. [[Collin]] will inform the player when Moss's health is fully restored so they can plan their activities accordingly. | Moss takes damage like any enemy, and can even be damaged by other enemies.{{cite youtube|KpicrzqMoiU|documenting Moss's interactions|published={{date|17|September|2023}}|retrieved={{date|6|October|2023}}|rname=oatchi_vs_moss}}.

=== Dalmo's Notes === | |||
{{transcript|Oatchi and Moss are like two peas in a pod. It's quite unprecedented that a space dog should meet such a similar creature on a far-off, unknown planet. You could even call it miraculous. Could they be siblings separated at birth? No, that's just not possible.|block=y}} | |||
=== Olimar's Notes === | |||
{{transcript|As far as I can tell, Moss has been a [[leafling]] pup since birth, and some of her DNA resembles that of the Pikmin. This is the one point in which she differs from Oatchi. When Oatchi transformed from a standard space dog into a leafling pup, I started to theorize that the Pikmin are, in some capacity, propagating their DNA in other organisms. The phenomenon in which all those castaways, including myself, became leaflings was very likely caused by being absorbed into the [[Onion]]. Perhaps that process was also some sort of Pikmin-ification of the body. Pikmin-ified organisms can't leave this planet, so the Pikmin may have been motivated to carry out this process in an effort to secure a permanent leader. Of course, this is all a theory...|block=y}} | |||
