The Moldy Slooch is an enemy in Pikmin 4. It is the body of a Pyroclasmic Slooch being controlled by a parasitic member of the Sporovid family. As the parasite has full control over the hosts body, it is classified as being a member of the same family rather than the Slooch family. It acts similar to its original variant, but differ as they expel poisonous seeds 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.
