The '''Foolix''' ({{j|ミツモチ|Mitsumochi|Nectar Mochi}}) is a [[boss]] enemy in {{p4}}. A relative of the [[Goolix]], it is found in the 4th and final sublevel of the [[Secluded Courtyard]]. It resembles a yellowish amoeba with an orange star-shaped nucleus, which possesses a flagellum-like tail.

|seeds4 = 30

The Foolix can be fought in one of two ways: the first is to get behind it and have Oatchi or at least 15 Pikmin pull on its tail when it extends through its cytoplasm, which will cause its nucleus to burst out of its membrane and leave it vulnerable  until it can reform its cytoplasm. Using [[Ice Pikmin]] after its out of the goo will freeze it before is can recover. A bomb rock will also cause the Foolix to burst if it is engulfed.

Alternatively, Ice Pikmin can be used to freeze and shatter the Foolix for the same effect if it engulfs them, although this must be done quickly to avoid Pikmin losses since any Pikmin it has engulfed will be trapped inside it.

==== Dalmo's Notes ====

''"If you take the microorganisms I used to peer at through my microscope as a child and blow them up much, MUCH bigger, this is what you get. A huge, single-celled sweetie, it blorpily sloshes around in search of food. To this giant, we're the microorganisms!"''

''"A member of the Goolix family, this primitive life-form is made up of a single cell, which is quite odd given its size. Its nucleus is shaped like a bulbous star, and individuals move by using the fin at the end of its flagellum-like tail to quickly expand and contract its gelatinous body.''

''If the nucleus is removed, its soft body loses all structure and splatters. But as long as the nucleus is still alive, the Foolix can return to its original form.''

''Usually, the Foolix will mimic nectar and wait for its prey. Its gel, which includes fire-extinguishing fluids, will then expand to capture and feed on unsuspecting organisms."''

==== Louie's Notes ====

''"Gently remove the jellied parts. Add fruit and a sweetener of your choice, and serve as a gelatin dessert."''

*Freezing Foolix while a [[bomb rock]] is engulfed will deactivate it. When the ice is broken, the bomb rocks will be dropped next to the nucleus. Upon reforming, the bomb rock will reactivate, bursting the cytroplasm.
