The '''Plasm Wraith''' ({{j|アメニュウドウ|Ame Nyuudou|Rain | The '''Plasm Wraith''' ({{j|アメニュウドウ|Ame Nyuudou|Candy/Rain Nyuudou}}) 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 an unknown gelatinous substance, which allows it to split different parts of its body off to create other semi-independent entities or even change shapes. | ||
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. | The Wraith is encountered at the [[Formidable Oak]], having taken Olimar captive with what appears to be curiosity rather than maliciousness.

*This creature, along with the [[Titan Dweevil]], are the only creatures so far in the series to exhibit the ability to harness all of the main [[hazard]] elements; all other element-based enemies are only able to wield one element. | *In the Japanese version of the game, there appears to be a more direct connection to the Waterwraith than in the English version, given that their Japanese names both include the name "Amebito" which translates to "Candy Man", much like all Bulborbs include "Dememadara" which translates to "Bug-eye Spots" and can be considered as an equivalent to Grub-Dog. This required the Plasm Wraith to receive a scientific name that included the ''Amphibio'' genus present in the Waterwraith's scientific name. Given that Japanese names were localized into scientific names for overseas versions, the absence of a scientific name for the Plasm wraith, thus, can arguably be considered a [[mistake]]. | ||
*The Plasm Wraith is the only [[enemy]] in the {{ps}} to have an "unknown" scientific name. | |||
**Although, there are plants like the [[Shoot]] and the plant the [[Leech Hydroe]] controls as the [[Berserk Leech Hydroe]] whose scientific names are listed as "unknown" as well. | |||
*While Olimar's notes mentions that the creatures are made of the "gelatinous substance" that composes the Plasm Wraith, the Japanese version specifies that they are composed of the Plasm Wraith's cells. | |||
*This creature, along with the [[Titan Dweevil]], are the only creatures so far in the series to exhibit the ability to harness all of the main [[hazard]] elements present in their respective games; all other element-based enemies are only able to wield one element. | |||
**The [[Ancient Sirehound]] utilizes almost all elements present in its game, but lack water and poison attacks (although it features a similar but deadlier hazard: [[Smoky Progg|gloom]]). | |||
*When its health is at its lowest, regardless of how much damage is caused to it, it will only die after twirling itself and shaking off attacking Pikmin. At that point, it will throw away plasm and shrink to a size too small to continue fighting. | *When its health is at its lowest, regardless of how much damage is caused to it, it will only die after twirling itself and shaking off attacking Pikmin.

* The Wraith's nucleus, which is presumably its actual main body, controlling the plasm as if it were normal limbs, can also be split into twenty-seven smaller cubes, in a 3x3x3 formation. 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. | * The Wraith's nucleus, which is presumably its actual main body, controlling the plasm as if it were normal limbs, can also be split into twenty-seven smaller cubes, in a 3x3x3 formation.

* The Wraith's nucleus was likely inspired by cubic pyrite, also commonly known as 'Fool's Gold'. Narratively, this choice potrays a sense of irony after viewing the entries in [[Olimar's Log (Exploration Notes)]] , where he states his hopes to 'Find Gold' while searching for treasure. | |||
