The '''Goolix''' ({{j|ミズモチ|Mizu Mochi|Water {{w|Mochi}}}}) is a watery boss in the [[Pikmin (game)|first ''Pikmin'' game]]; on approaching its location, it emerges from the ground. It resembles a blue amoeba with two nuclei (a blue one and a larger yellow one). It stretches around to engulf [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] who happen to be in its path and drowns them out with its aquatic properties. The only Pikmin invulnerable to it are [[Blue Pikmin]], due to it being composed mostly of [[water]]. It is only found in [[The Impact Site]] on odd-numbered days starting from day 9 (even-numbered days starting from day 8 will have the [[Mamuta]] instead). | The '''Goolix''' ({{j|ミズモチ|Mizu Mochi|Water {{w|Mochi}}}}) is a watery boss in the [[Pikmin (game)|first ''Pikmin'' game]]; on approaching its location, it emerges from the ground.

===''Pikmin'' Official Player's Guide description=== | |||
{{transcript|Floating within the greater water slime's transparent body are its dual nuclei. The greater water slime's nervous system is contained within its main nucleus, which displays a marbleized sheen. The greater water slime's secondary nucleus is beige in color and serves as a defense system to weaken prey and nutrients that have been absorbed through the organism's amorphous membrane. Prior to absorption, most prey will succumb to the watery membrane, which coats the greater water slime's body.}} | |||
{{transcript|Only blue Pikmin can safely penetrate the goolix's blobby body. Lead your Pikmin toward the vulnerable blue nucleus, then hit X to unleash them.}} | |||

The Goolix remains invisible and is inactive until the Captain or a Pikmin approaches its area. When this happens the creature will reveal itself, scattering any nearby Pikmin. When active, it will slink around, aiming for the Captain. It has no specific attacks, but its touch will damage Olimar and cause any non-blue Pikmin to suffer from the water effect. Only blue Pikmin can penetrate the Goolix's membrane and attack one of its two cores. When under attack, the only threat the creature poses is flinging Pikmin from it, possibly causing them to lose their [[Maturity|flowers or buds]]. Once defeated, the Goolix will dissolve and leave no salvageable corpse, rather four 5-Pellets. | The Goolix remains invisible and is inactive until the Captain or a Pikmin approaches its area.

|scientific = [[Canon# | |scientific = [[Canon#Debatable_canon|Unofficially]], in the ''Pikmin'' Player's guide, its scientific name is ''Binuclei siphonophorus''. ''Binuclei'' uses the prefix "bi-", meaning two, and "nuclei", the plural form of nucleus. A nucleus is essentially the brain of the cell, often portrayed as round. This is in reference to Goolix's cell-like appearance, containing two nucleus-like orbs floating within it. ''Siphonophorus'' is an alteration of "Siphonophores", an order of multicellular marine life, referencing Goolix's watery body. | ||
