The Goolix is a creature that, upon approaching its location, 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 that happen to be in its path and drowns them out with its aquatic properties. When under attack, the only threat the creature poses is flinging Pikmin from it, possibly causing them to lose their flowers or buds.

Attacks | Drowns Pikmin |
The Goolix appears in Pikmin Forever. It is encountered at Daybreak Glade and Luxuriant Lakeside, and in sublevel four of Surge Cave, sublevels two and five of Saturated Temple, and sublevel three of Ceramic Rift. They act cellular and try to form vesicles around Pikmin to engulf them in water. Their ensnaring arms can move faster than the Goolix itself, and the creatures themselves leave behind a trail of slime that is slippery to Pikmin. Attack either nucleus with Blue Pikmin to bring the beast down normally; it will dissolve, leaving behind no salvageable part. However, if a Goolix is simply led into an existing body of water, it will instantly dissolve into that water, leaving behind the larger nuclei that can be salvaged for 25 Pikmin! It contains no metal, however; it can only be brought to an Onion.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “Perhaps one of the most primitive organisms in the ecosystem, this massive unicellular organism is in a constant struggle for homeostasis. Most specimens slowly feed along the ground, secreting a slimy substance that compacts topsoil and sediments. The greater organelles of the Goolix appear to have the chemical potential to emit red light, although its photosensitive nucleus would appear only to activate this adaptation in low light. The rarity of red bioluminescence suggests that the Goolix is either a departed cell of a larger organism or composed of a symbiotic colony of tiny zooids.”

Attacks | Drowns Pikmin |
The Goolix appears in Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs as a somewhat common enemy in the Marsh Territory, as five can be found there, all of them submerged in water. Their presence can be seen by their two cores, one being larger, softer, and orange, the other smaller, harder, and blue. Goolixes pursue Pikmin family or Captain Olimar when either are nearby, emerging from the water if necessary to attack, even passing through bramble gates that may be in the way. Blue Pikmin must be used against them. Upon defeat, a Goolix quickly evaporates and leaves behind its nuclei, which can be taken to an Onion for seeds. Captain Olimar can assist in carrying the nuclei back to the Onion.

Notes
Olimar's notes
- “This is a creature of a family infamously known for their ability to be mostly comprised of a liquid, and somehow manages to live. It has two nuclei, one yellow, being slightly larger than the smaller, yet more frail, blue one. It is known for attempting to chase creatures smaller than its size, then engulfing them whole, and finally, drowning them. Such behavior is considered dangerous, especially to creatures that are highly vulnerable to liquid-based attacks. It is currently unknown why the goolix does such behavior, although there is some speculation that it does this to consume creatures, but this is unlikely, even though there is even more speculation supporting this assumption, that the goolix itself absorbs the creature's remains. It has a weakness when attacked: its blue nucleus. However, when attacked, it will collide with the other nucleus, knocking off the attacker. Upon death, its membrane sprays liquid in all directions, so further research has currently been impeded...”
Louie's notes
- “Want a refreshing treat on a hot, sweltering day? Just simply put a live goolix in a container. Remove and discard the nuclei, then put the remains into a blender with some ice. The result: the ultimate flavored slushie!”

Attacks | Drowns Pikmin |
The Goolix appears in Pikmin: Theme Park, and with a fire counterpart known as the Molten Goolix. This watery beast is first encountered on sublevel five of the Fire and Water Warzone attraction at the Heatwave Rollercoaster. They initially appear as a puddle containing two orbs each worth × 1,000 and awaken upon sensing a Blue Pikmin. Because it is twice as large as it is in its original incarnation, many Blue Pikmin must be used. With this tactic, a Goolix should die as soon as it is attacked, causing it to evaporate, although its nuclei will remain.
