The '''Sunsquish''' ({{j|メダマ モチ|Medama Mochi| | The '''Sunsquish''' ({{j|メダマ モチ|Medama Mochi|Medama Mochi}}) is a mollusk-like creature in {{p4}} that resembles a fried egg. It has a circular, off-white body with many small tentacles and a round, orange head with two small eyestalks. It attacks by stretching its body upwards and then squashing flat outwards, trapping and digesting Pikmin in its body. They are occasionally found hiding inside [[nectar egg]]s. | ||

Sending [[Oatchi]] to open eggs is more advisable as he is less likely to be damaged by its attacks. The simplest way to defeat the Sunsquish, once revealed, is by throwing any Pikmin at its head, which the game will automatically lock onto. Ice Pikmin are particularly useful, as they allow it to be attacked from its membrane once frozen. The player should be wary of missing its head, as it will snatch up Pikmin trying to attack its otherwise immune membrane. Beyond that, however, the low health of this creature makes it a relatively easy encounter. | ||
