The '''Toxstool''' | {{futuregame}} | ||
The '''Toxstool''' is an enemy in {{p4}}. It is very similar to the [[Puffstool]], although instead of [[confusion|confusing]] pikmin, it express a [[poison]] that can harm non-[[White Pikmin]]. It can also re-infect [[Moldy Dwarf Bulborb]]s and [[Moldy Slooch]] after they have been killed. It is only seen on the first sublevel of the [[Cavern for a King]]. | |||

If the | Like its cousin the [[Puffstool]], the Toxstool is mostly passive and wanders around aimlessly unless attacked, in which case it releases a cloud of poison gas. However, there are two main exceptions to this. If the sticky mold covering its chamber is removed due to the mushrooms generating it being destroyed, the Toxstool will move to its former location and release a spore cloud that makes the mushrooms and the mold grow back. It can also resurrect the [[Moldy Dwarf Bulborb]]s and [[Moldy Slooch]]es in the room in the same way, and will immediately try to do so if given an opportunity. | ||

While [[White Pikmin]] are the obvious choice for fighting the Toxstool, | While [[White Pikmin]] are the obvious choice for fighting the Toxstool,the Toxstool's ability to revive the enemies in the arena will ensure that they remain an issue unless their bodies are brought back to the S.S. Beagle shortly after they are killed. Note, you cannot transport items that are on mold, so you will have to destroy the mushrooms to take the enemie corpses back to the ship. In order to ensure that the Toxstool will not immediately bring them back to life, it is advised to either distract it by destroying the mold patches or stun it with Oatchi's upgraded rush ability while another group of Pikmin disposes of the bodies. Keep in mind that if you whistle your Pikmin if they get poisoned and prevent the Toxstool from reviving its minions, you have nearly nothing to fear from this boss. | ||
