The '''Toxstool''' ({{j|ドクナメコ|Doku Nameko|Poison Nameko}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p4}}. While it is very reminiscent both physically and behaviorally to the [[Puffstool]], this creature differs in that it possesses turquoise coloration, and instead of [[confusion|confusing]] Pikmin, it expels a [[poison]] that can kill Pikmin that are not [[White Pikmin|White]] or [[Glow Pikmin]]. | |||
The '''Toxstool''' is an enemy in {{p4}}. | |||
This poison not only allows the Toxstool to regenerate patches of sticky mold with poison mushrooms, but also revive [[Moldy Dwarf Bulborb]]s and [[Moldy Slooch]]es after they have been killed. It is only seen on the first sublevel of [[Cavern for a King]]. | |||

Like its cousin the [[Puffstool]], the Toxstool is mostly passive and wanders around aimlessly unless attacked, in which case it releases a cloud of poison gas. However, there are two main exceptions to this. If the sticky mold covering its chamber is removed due to the mushrooms generating it being destroyed, the Toxstool will move to its former location and release a spore cloud that makes the mushrooms and the mold grow back. It can also resurrect the [[Moldy Dwarf Bulborb]]s and [[Moldy Slooch]]es in the room in the same way, and will immediately try to do so if given an opportunity. | Like its cousin the [[Puffstool]], the Toxstool is mostly passive and wanders around aimlessly unless attacked, in which case it releases a cloud of poison gas.

While [[White Pikmin]] are the obvious choice for fighting the Toxstool, | While [[White Pikmin]] are the obvious choice for fighting the Toxstool, its ability to revive the enemies in the arena will ensure that they remain an issue unless their bodies are brought back to the [[S.S. Beagle]] shortly after they are killed. Note that you cannot transport items that are on sticky mold, so you will have to destroy the mushrooms to take the enemy corpses back to the ship. In order to ensure that the Toxstool will not immediately bring them back to life, it is advised to either distract it by destroying the mold patches or stun it with Oatchi's upgraded [[rush]] ability while another group of Pikmin disposes of the bodies. Keep in mind that if you [[whistle]] your Pikmin if they get poisoned and prevent the Toxstool from reviving its minions, you have nearly nothing to fear from this boss. | ||

The way the fungal filaments grow differs based on the host organism. In most cases, they may cause the hosts to wander around in search of food to facilitate a more nutrient-rich fungal-culture medium. They can also just use the host as a means to scatter more spores.|block=y}} | The way the fungal filaments grow differs based on the host organism.

*The Toxstool is unique in that it can revive deceased creatures with depleted [[Health]], rather than revive itself. | |||
*Both the Toxstool and [[Ancient Sirehound]] share the distinction of being introduced and only found within the [[Cavern for a King]]. | |||
**The [[Titan Blowhog]] also shares this distinction, though only while considering the main campaign and not [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]]. | |||
