The '''Moldy Slooch''' ({{j|カビフラシ|Kabi Furan|Mold Decomposer}}) is an enemy in {{p4}}. It is the body of a [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]] being controlled by a parasitic [[Toxstool]]. As the parasite has full control over the hosts body, it is classified as being a member of the [[Sporovid family]] rather than the [[Slooch family]]. It acts similar to its original variant, but differ as they expel [[poison|poisonous]] spores from their backs which are harmful to non-[[White Pikmin]]. If killed, they can be [[revival|revived]] by the [[Toxstool]]. The same parasite species also infects the [[Moldy Dwarf Bulborb]].

They roam around and leave a trail just like [[Pyroclasmic Slooches]] except they use the posion hazard instead of the fire hazard. A unique thing about them though, is that they possess mold on their back that Pikmin can stomp on to deal decent damage to the slooch, much like the [[Moldy Dwarf Bulborb]]. This will release poison gas, so it's best to throw [[White Pikmin]] on to their backs.

Its appearance is similar to that of a Pyroclasmic Slooch, but has a mushroom like growth on its back, explaining that it's a parasitic toxstool.

[[White Pikmin]] are ideal for fighting Moldy Slooches due to their poison immunity. [[Oatchi]] can also dispatch of multiple Slooches with a single charge, provided he has the Sniff Saver gear. If neither of these are an option, charging the creature from the front is the best strategy, as it only produces poison from the rear.
