The '''Foolix''' ({{j|ミツモチ|Mitsumochi|Nectar Mochi}}) is a [[boss]] enemy in {{p4}}. A relative of the [[Goolix]], it is found in the fourth and final sublevel of the [[Secluded Courtyard]]. It resembles a yellowish amoeba with an orange star-shaped nucleus, which possesses a flagellum-like tail.

The Foolix can be fought in one of two ways: the first is to get behind it and have Oatchi or at least 15 Pikmin pull on its tail when it extends through its cytoplasm, which will cause its nucleus to burst out of its membrane and leave it vulnerable  until it can reform its cytoplasm. Using [[Ice Pikmin]] after its out of the goo will freeze it before it can recover. A bomb rock will also cause the Foolix to burst if it is engulfed.

Alternatively, Ice Pikmin can be used to freeze and shatter the Foolix for the same effect if it engulfs them, although this must be done quickly to avoid Pikmin losses since any Pikmin it has engulfed will be trapped inside it. With 100 Pikmin, the Foolix freezes in about one second, and Oatchi's Rush can instantly break it. By freezing the Foolix after the break, it's possible to defeat in two cycles without Spicy Spray.

|common    = Foolix. This is similar to the [[Goolix]], but with "Fool" instead of "Goo". This is likely in reference to how it ''fools'' creatures by pretending to be a drop of nectar.

|jpcommon  = {{j|ミツモチ|Mitsu Mochi|Nectar {{w|Mochi}}}}. {{j|蜜|Mitsu}} means nectar, referring to how it disguises itself as nectar to attract prey. A mochi is a type of Japanese rice cake.

*Freezing a Foolix while a [[bomb rock]] is engulfed will disarm the bomb. When the ice is broken, the bomb rock will be dropped next to the now-exposed nucleus. Assuming that no leaders intervene, the Foolix will inadvertently pull in and rearm the same bomb rock during its reformation process; the bomb will then explode and burst the cytoplasm again.
