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 | *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.

*Even though the Wraith is defeated, it is revealed to still be alive in the final [[cutscene]]. One can notice this because the small trail of plasm remains after its defeat slowly crawls away from the site. It can also be briefly glimpsed as the [[S.S. Drake]] leaves the planet, already fully reformed and angrily wobbling at the leaving ship. | *Even though the Wraith is defeated, it is revealed to still be alive in the final [[cutscene]].
