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]].

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]].

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}}.

If Oatchi is around, she will periodically stop to bark at him, even if she's busy taking Pikmin away. Oatchi himself will also bark at her at random. If the player approaches her without Pikmin, she will just continue roaming around, with the occasional bark at Oatchi.

{{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}} | |||
