The '''Sunsquish''' ({{j|メダマ モチ|Medama Mochi| | The '''Sunsquish''' ({{j|メダマ モチ|Medama Mochi|Fried Egg 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. | ||

The Sunsquish can be found either out in the open or inside [[Egg]]s. When it is discovered, or when it spots the player or Pikmin, it begins to slowly approach the player until close enough to attack. Once close, it will telegraph an incoming attack by stretching upwards before coming back down, sprawling its membrane in a wide area around itself. Not only does this attack shake Pikmin off of it, it can also catch up to five Pikmin attacking its sides, which it then eats fairly quickly. The player doesn't have to move far before it loses interest in its target, but it will continue to approach if within close proximity of it. | |||

As this creature can spawn from eggs that the player opens with Pikmin, extra care should be taken in its home caves to avoid accidents from happening. Sending [[Oatchi]] to open eggs is more advisable as he can protect Pikmin from being eaten. 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. | |||
Sunsquishes are very vulnerable to [[Purple Pikmin]], as landing one on the enemy's head will kill it in one hit. This is the fastest way to kill Sunsquishes, but they will not be instantly killed if a Purple Pikmin lands on an egg that a Sunsquish is hiding in. | |||
