The '''Plasm Wraith''' ({{j|アメニュウドウ|Ame Nyuudou|Rain Bald Head Yōkai}}) is the final [[boss]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and is responsible for capturing [[Captain Olimar]]. It is a virtually featureless and vaguely-humanoid [[Waterwraith]]-like being made entirely out of a cellular protoplasmic mass, which allows it to split different parts of its body off to create other semi-independent entities or even change shapes. | The '''Plasm Wraith''' ({{j|アメニュウドウ|Ame Nyuudou|Rain Bald Head Yōkai}}) is the final [[boss]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and is responsible for capturing [[Captain Olimar]].

The Wraith is encountered at the [[Formidable Oak]], having taken Olimar captive with what appears to be curiosity rather than maliciousness.

Efforts to rescue Olimar cause the being to enter an [[Mysterious Life-Form|alternate form]] and slowly crawl towards the explorers, attempting to retake him, until it reaches the outside of the oak. Once this occurs, the Wraith assumes its original form, detains Olimar in its nucleus, and begins to attack, starting the final boss fight. Defeating the Wraith immediately activates the game's ending. | ||

This can be seen during its respawn animation during the chase sequence. It can further split into two hundred sixteen, in a 6x6x6 formation, as can be seen when it uses an elemental plasm during the boss battle against the Wraith. This is in addition to becoming completely hollow and having its six faces appear out of nowhere, as seen when Olimar gets captured during the chase sequence, as well as being able to physically overlap with Olimar, and, as can be seen when the Wraith slips away, spit out a false cube that can also overlap with objects and disintegrate. | ||
