Sunsquish are mollusk-like creatures first discovered in {{p4}}. They resembled fried eggs and can also be found hiding in other creatures eggs. They move around a small area until they find prey, where they will then extend their entire body equally outwards to grab any unsuspecting Pikmin. Their head is their only weak point and won't take damage if their body is attacked.
Scientific name: ''Ovgoonium soleus''

The family's name, squishsquirt, is made up of two words, 'squish' and 'squirt'. 'Squish' is another word for squash, which is in relation to how flexible the Sunsquish is, and how it extends its body out to grab prey. It could also be a reference to the name of the Sunsquish, the family's currently only member. 'Squirt' may be in reference to {{w|Ascidiacea|sea squirts}}, a type of primitive chordate which the Sunsquish's Piklopedia entry references.

The family's genus, ''Ovgoonium'', can be split up into three parts: 'Ov', 'goo' and 'ium'. ''Ov'' may be a shortened version of the Latin word ''ovum'', referencing Sunsquish looking like a sunny-side up egg and also hiding in other creatures' eggs. 'Goo' is in reference to the slimy appearance of the Sunsquish and how Pikmin stick to it. '-ium' is a suffix that mean 'denoting a biological structure', which could be referencing the Sunsquish looking like an egg and hiding in other creatures' eggs, as eggs are biological structures.
