Oh, sorry about that. I got carried away with my thought and didn't properly explain what I meant ^_^". I didn't mean mechinery for the Careening Dirigi Bug. I meant the ''baloons'' it floats around with. What I was trying to say was that the CDB might have made them, filled them with helium and put them on by themselves, therefor meaning that they are quite intellegent. I also misunderstood what you meant with the Crab and Mamuta; sorry again. The thing is, I don't understand why the Mamuta ''has'' a longer arm. I recall that it uses both to, well, "attack" the Pikmin and not just using one like the crawbster.

So, then theres still the Smoky Progg. I can understand if somebody doesn't see a connection between the Progg and Mamuta. But if you add the facts that it has two eyes and (small) legs, slightly round like the Mamuta, is a larva and malformed aswell (ergo, other larva would look different, likely more like Mamutas) , then you might be able to see how it could change it's form in it's shell (like caterpillars) and hatch as a Mamuta. As we all know, the egg is gone after day 15, so, maybe it turned into a toxic spreading Mamuta (shudder).

Right, one last thing: If you happen to fight the Progg again and lose a lot of Pikmin, then look onto your Pikmin counter... thing. Once I had 7 Pikmin in Olimars squad and it said there where 6 on the field. I'll try to upload an image to show you what I mean. I would just like to know if this has happened to anyone else before. When I pulled out 100 Pikmin, both counters where on 100 (I didn't count how many there really where, though).[[Image:Proggglitch.JPG|right|thumb|200px]]

the pikmin counter thing has happened to me to.but now i understand what you meant about the carrying dirigibug.and I thought about the small leg and similar shape tho the progg and mamuta,but i didn't want to admit it.

Huh, that's pretty interesting, unfortunately, the gate I knocked down was impassible for the rest of the day :D. Yesterday, (my friend just lent me Pikmin 2, so after I beat it I can look for discrepancies between the treasure/enemy descriptions from the NTSC version compared to the PAL version.), any way, I was carrying back the Ace-Card treasure, (can't remember its proper name). I carried it past a fire geyser thing,(they shoot up the fire), and the Game-and-Watch treasure was beside it, my pikmin carrying the Ace Card accidentally knocked the game in watch into the wall, and when it slid back down, half of it was submerged underground. I tried to carry it with pikmin, but they got stuck around the edges where the treasure began to be underground. I went back for some purple pikmin, (they could have moved it), but by the time I got back, 2 pikmin had died and the Game-and-Watch was fully above the ground. (I later checked my death-chart, and it said that my pikmin were lost in battle, I think they fell through the floor.)-Me_just_in/sig

Maybe the Goolix in The Forest Navel has some really rare chance of appearing in the challenge mode version of the level? Or perhaps it could appear in some of the older versions of Pikmin 1 as a rare glitch? The enemy reel shows an earlier stage in the game's production.

Actually, several of the Enemy Reel's images are beta images. There is no open areas like the one in the Honeywisp part. The Extraodinary Bolt can be seen in the Wogpole's part with a green coloration and the Positron Generator can be seen in Distant Spring. So.... is that goolix real or only for beta version? <span style="border:2px dashed #FF0000;background-color:yellow">

:Hydrochloric acid can dissolve steal, but the concentration it's found in inside our stomachs is really pretty low. Also, interestingly, the acid itself isn't what does most of the digesting, it just sort of sets the stage for digestive enzymes to do their thing. In any case, it's hard to imagine a creature which can just completely dissolve a whole Pikmin in a matter of seconds. I'm not saying it it's not possible that it does eat them - in fact, it seems likely, since why else would such a simple creature be chasing them around? - but whatever acid or corrosive chemicals it uses are probably not what initially kills the Pikmin. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 06:13, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

well bulborbs are sort of like a canine/insect hybrid as for the snavians are bird/snake hybrids (the pileated has a foot because it was mutated that way) as to a simple exposure to nuclear power... no i don't watch to much monster movies... ameobas don't have organs because they make up things that have organs... or are those atoms??? ya know what who really cares...

What im trying to say is most of the monster things in the game are wierd looking... but im trying to bring science to the stuff that we actualy know what they are like the segmented crawbster... thats a bad example what lobster has a rainbow organ in it? well the wollywogs are frogs wogpoles are tadpoles yellow wollywogs are yellow frogs...Strudel man
First, lets get this amoeba thing out of the way. Follow this link and read it [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoeba]; you should find that amoebas have organelles (small organs). Amoebas are creatures themselves: they eat, drink, and poop (not too sure how they poop) and they have a brain (nucleus.) They do not make up another organism.
Yes, most monsters are weird looking. You know why? They're supposed to be. Godzilla, Creature of the Black Lagoon, any of those ring a bell? They're all weird looking because they're all fantasy and supposed to be scary or freaky. I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about the frogs and the crab, though.

== Weak Point ==
The first part of the article says that the smaller nucleus is it's weak point, and then later on it says it will take a long time to defeat the Goolix if you don't attack the larger nucleus. I've never fought the Goolix, so could someone who knows which nucleus is weak please correct that? --[[User:Jelloratbob|Jelloratbob]] 23:47, 30 April 2011 (EDT)
Both can be attacked. But the large one can only be attacked by throwing a Pikimin at it which takes about 1/8 of its health. You can attack the small one by swarming it with pikmin. but it takes a very long time to kill. So both are technically true. {{User:Loafy the Breadbug/sig}}
==Theory==
Maybe the Goolix and the Water Wraith are the same because they both are watery creatures that follow the Captain and they try to destroy it. The name comes from Umi~bozi or whatever its called. Also, the Plasm Wraith is also a member of this evolution line. Goolix > Water Wraith > Plasm Wraith. Also, in the NPC Pikmin 2, the Water Wraith completly ignores Louie/the Prez and any Pikmin following them and goes for Olimar. The umi~bozi goes for captains of ships and destroys them. The reason the Koppiates are chased by the Plasm Wraith is due to being Captains themselfs. Alph (due to owning the ship) Charlie (due to actually being a Captain.) and Brittany (due to actually possesing leadership qualaties).

:It seems to say that the Goolix was originally two specimens of opposite sexes that have merged in order to reproduce, or as DeepL puts it, "Originally they were separate sexes, but this is the fused form before spawning". [[User:2 B|2 B]] ([[User talk:2 B|talk]]) 09:49, December 12, 2022 (EST)
