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 | 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]] and slowly ooze 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 core, and begins to attack, starting the final boss fight. Defeating the Wraith immediately activates the game's ending. | ||
As with all final bosses thus far, the path leading up to it, and/or the boss fight itself, requires the knowledge and use of every single Pikmin type. | As with all final bosses thus far, the path leading up to it, and/or the boss fight itself, requires the knowledge and use of every single Pikmin type. | ||

When Olimar first arrived at the Formidable Oak, he saw a shiny golden substance at the top of the tower, and decided to investigate. [[Louie]] expressed discomfort and chose to stay behind, letting Olimar go on ahead without him. | When Olimar first arrived at the Formidable Oak, he saw a shiny golden substance at the top of the tower, and decided to investigate.

At first, the | At first, the Plasm Wraith was curious and playful towards Olimar and did no harm to him. However, when Olimar tried to leave, it became hostile, triggering his [[spacesuit|suit]]'s auto-sleep function and dragging him back to its cave. It became protective of Olimar to the point that it would attack anything that showed interest in him. The exact reason for this bizarre behavior remains unclear. | ||

If they are left there for longer than 20 seconds after being initially spat out, the Wraith will reabsorb them to heal itself. When the Wraith has been reduced to just a quarter of its health, it will create three Elemental Plasms at once. | ||

To make things simpler, use one leader at a time, but be sure to switch leaders when the current one's suit is very damaged. Bring out as many [[Rock Pikmin]] as you have, preferably flowered, since (as stated above) they are the only Pikmin immune to the Wraith's stabbing attack and cannot be crushed by the elemental plasm. This method can make the battle take two days, but one is possible. For the first phase, simply pummel it and the plasm that falls off. Once a quarter of plasm is lost, the battle gets more difficult as it shoots Elemental Plasms. The list below shows what to do for each one: | ||
*If it is a Fire Plasm, attack the core with Rock Pikmin until it breaks apart. Quickly whistle the ones that are burning. Then, attack the remaining plasm. | *If it is a Fire Plasm, attack the core with Rock Pikmin until it breaks apart. Quickly whistle the ones that are burning. Then, attack the remaining plasm. | ||
*If it is an Electric Plasm, you are given a brief window to throw Rock Pikmin at the core before the electricity field spawns in and it floats too high for them to reach. If you miss your chance, just try to avoid it, as the electricity will paralyze your Pikmin and possibly knock them back into other hazards. | *If it is an Electric Plasm, you are given a brief window to throw Rock Pikmin at the core before the electricity field spawns in and it floats too high for them to reach.
