In Olimar's Shipwreck Tale, Moss gains skills as bonuses for recovering set numbers of ship parts. If Olimar reaches a milestone for acquired parts before meeting Moss, the skills will be retroactively applied once she has joined him. | In Olimar's Shipwreck Tale, Moss gains skills as bonuses for recovering set numbers of ship parts.

Until Olimar's vault is opened and the entrance to [[Leafy Showdown]] is discovered, Moss can be found in the [[Hero's Hideaway]]. According to the Voyage Log, she appears to be guarding Olimar's bunker. Unlike most enemies, she has a unique map icon. | Until Olimar's vault is opened and the entrance to [[Leafy Showdown]] is discovered, Moss can be found in the [[Hero's Hideaway]].

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}} | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*Moss’s growth over the story of ''Pikmin 4'' for is reminiscent of the Pikmin’s growth in the original ''Pikmin''. Moss is malnourished when she is first encountered by Olimar, much like how Olimar first encounters Pikmin when they are on the brink of extinction in the first game. In addition, as an enemy in Hero’s Hideaway, Moss seems to exhaust herself each time she attempts to whistle for Pikmin. However, during the ending cutscene, she whistles for Pikmin without taking a moment to rest afterwards. This may be representative of how she has learned to take care of herself through the help of her captains in the same way Pikmin were shown to in the ending cutscene of ''Pikmin''. | |||
