The Moldy Slooch 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.

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 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.

Dalmo's Notes

“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

“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 shakes spores onto other creatures, this 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

“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.”
