The Moldy Slooch (カビフラシ?, lit.: "Mold Rainer") is an enemy in Pikmin 4. It is the body of a Pyroclasmic Slooch being controlled by a parasitic Toxstool. As the parasite has full control over the hosts body, it is classified as being a member of the sporovid family rather than the slooch family. It acts similar to its original variant, but differ as they expel poisonous spores from their backs which are harmful to non-White Pikmin. If killed, they can be revived by the Toxstool. The same parasite species also infects the Moldy Dwarf Bulborb. This creature, alongside the Moldy Dwarf Bulborb, can consume White Pikmin without being poisoned.

Behavior[edit]

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 4.
Particularly: Describe its behavior when it sees Pikmin, when it attacks, when it shakes, when it loses interest, etc.

They roam around and leave a trail just like Pyroclasmic Slooches except they use the posion hazard instead of the fire hazard. A unique thing about them though, is that they possess mold on their back that Pikmin can stomp on to deal decent damage to the slooch, much like the Moldy Dwarf Bulborb. This will release poison gas, so it's best to throw White Pikmin on to their backs.

Appearance[edit]

Its appearance is similar to that of a Pyroclasmic Slooch, but has a mushroom-like growth on its back, showing that it's a parasitic toxstool.

Locations[edit]

Strategy[edit]

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 4.
Particularly: Add a guide on how to beat it.

White Pikmin are ideal for fighting Moldy Slooches due to their poison immunity. Oatchi can also dispatch of multiple Slooches with a single charge, provided he has the Pup Sniff Saver gear. If neither of these are an option, charging the creature from the front is the best strategy, as it only produces poison from the rear.

Notes[edit]

Dalmo's notes[edit]

Slugga slugga choo choo! Here comes the fungal spore train. The miasma emitting from the fungus on its back has Toxstool spores in it. If you must observe it, do so from as far away as possible, or risk ending up as a fungal choo choo too!

Olimar's notes[edit]

Both the nervous system and slime- producing organ of this specimen have been invaded by fungal filaments, which is why it scatters spores as it moves. It will also shake spores onto other creatures, thus infecting new hosts and expanding the Toxstool's habitat and range.

Once the host body ceases to function, it can no longer serve as a fungal-culture medium because its bodily fluids dry up and the corpus shrinks. At that point, the host body is abandoned.

Louie's notes[edit]

After removing the poison, the broth is fragrant and savory. Don't drink too much, or you'll find yourself with a crippling tummy ache.
