The Sunsquish (メダマ モチ?, lit.: "Medama Mochi") is a mollusk-like creature in Pikmin 4 that resembles a fried egg. It has a circular, off-white body with many small tentacles and a round, orange head with two small eyestalks. It attacks by stretching its body upwards and then squashing flat outwards, trapping and digesting Pikmin in its body. They are occasionally found hiding inside nectar eggs.

Notes

Dalmo's Notes

This peculiar li'l button has the perfect texture and coloration to pass as an egg fried sunny-side up by a master chef. There's nothing about it that makes it seem threatening. And it looks so yummy! I can't help thinking of a delicious breakfast when I see it!

Olimar's Notes

A type of primitive organism called a protochordate. In its juvenile state, it has a skeleton-like structure called a notochord. It flaps its finned tail to move and lives within other creatures' eggs as it grows.
As its body develops, it starts to exhibit mollusk-like qualities, but its highly exposed external stomach can directly digest prey on contact and can also be used for locomotion.

Louie's Notes

Season with salt and pepper.

Naming

See more: Squishsquirt family#Naming.
  • Common name: Sunsquish. Combination of "sun" from sunny-side up egg, of which it is based off of, and squish, another word for squash to reference its flexibility and how it extends its body out to grab prey.
  • Japanese nickname: メダマモチ?. The "medama" part of its name refers to "medama-yaki" (目玉焼き), meaning "cooked-eyeball", an informal name for fried eggs. It might also be a pun on "目玉", which means centerpiece, referring to its weak point.
  • Japanese name: キミノホヤモチ?, lit.: "Egg Yolk Sea Squirt Mochi".
  • Scientific name: Ovgoonium soleus. "Sol-" can mean "a type of colloid in which a solid is dispersed in a liquid", referring to the egg white.
  • Internal names: MINIMOCHI. It could possibly be named as a smaller version of the Foolix, whose internal name is MITSUMOCHI, as both disguise themselves in ways you can get nectar.
  • Prerelease: None.
