This article is about the creature's form when it chases after Captain Olimar. For the final boss battle, see Plasm Wraith. For a guide on how to complete the final area, see Formidable Oak.

The Mysterious Life Form (アメボウズ?, lit.: "Rain Priest") is a blob of plasm that is one of the forms of the Plasm Wraith. It follows Brittany, or whoever is guiding the Pikmin carrying Captain Olimar through the labyrinth that is the Formidable Oak. Once Olimar is outside, the creature reverts to the Plasm Wraith.

Plot

When first spotted atop the oak, the creature envelopes Olimar in order to protect him, but is defeated with Pikmin attacks. With no other way to go, the group issues the Pikmin to carry Olimar through the oak itself. For reasons not currently explained, the Pikmin are unable to find the path they must take, and instead, it is decided that they follow after Brittany. As soon as they enter, the being drops from the cave ceiling and shapeshifts into a massive Goolix-like creature called the Mysterious Life Form, which will chase the player down the chasm. The player must stay ahead of it while overcoming the various obstacles present within the oak in order to safely escape.

Strategy

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

There are a few notes that you should consider...

  1. The Mysterious Life Form is invincible, unless it has Olimar, so focus on always moving forward.
  2. There are multiple paths you can take, so take whichever is easier to overcome.
  3. Every enemy in the chasm is an illusion created by the Mysterious Life Form; when killed, they disintegrate into plasm. If these creatures are not killed, the Mysterious Life Form will envelop and digest them in its body when it reaches them.
  4. The Mysterious Life Form and the Pikmin carrying Olimar will always follow Brittany; this can be utilized to buy time. If Brittany is down, they will follow Charlie, then Alph.
  5. Many of the paths in the chasm are loops, so while the Alph and Charlie are figuring out the puzzle, Brittany can go around in circles to distract the Mysterious Life Form.
  6. If Pikmin are enveloped by the Mysterious Life Form, they can be freed by continuously whistling at them. However, if the creature recaptures Olimar while any Pikmin are inside it, they will all instantly die.
  7. If the beast manages to recapture Olimar, it will stop following Brittany and try to leave the cave via the hole found at the beginning of the level. When being attacked, it will occasionally release an Elemental Plasm. After having sustained enough damage, the Mysterious Life Form will drop Olimar and will remain immobilized until its health gauge refills, allowing the crew an opportunity to escape.
  8. The blob can take shortcuts through some walls. This is most noticeable with the wall between the room with the bridge fragments and Arachnode, and the room with the Red Bulborb.

After you successfully escape the chasm, you will appear in an arena outside. The Mysterious Life Form eventually reaches the exit as well, and upon doing so, will revert to its original humanoid shape and inhale all of its scattered plasm, growing to an immense size. It will then inhale and secure Olimar inside its body, thus commencing the final battle.
