Mysterious Life-Form

The Mysterious Life-Form is the name given to the Goolix-like form of the Plasm Wraith. It relentlessly pursues the leader guiding the Pikmin carrying Captain Olimar; once he is outside, the creature reverts to its original form and begins openly attacking its aggressors. Until then, the Mysterious Life-Form can not be destroyed, although it can be incapacitated, and can only be fled from; to quickly reach distant targets, it can crawl over obstacles in its path. It simply envelops Pikmin and leaders that touch it while it is translucent but can be attacked while it is opaque, which only occurs once when it absorbs Captain Olimar and attempts to flee with him. Any Pikmin inside of the Mysterious Life-Form when it becomes opaque will be simultaneously killed, but they can be freed before that happens by continuously whistling at them. It may eject an elemental plasm when attacked, and when critically injured, slowly revives by reforming its body.

In Pikmin E
In Pikmin E, the Mysterious Life-Form behaves exactly as it does in.

In Pikmin: Wide World
The Plasm Goolix returns in Pikmin: Wide World as the Plasm Wraith's alternate form. It is first seen when approaching the arena the Plasm Wraith is fought in, moving idly around the enclosure until approached, whereupon it will immediately reveal its true form and begin the battle against it. The Plasm Wraith will also periodically revert to this form as the fight wears on. As it is the Plasm Wraith's alternate form, there are no notes for it specifically.

The Plasm Goolix is a pair of large, conjoined yellow blobs of translucent fluid. One blob is larger than the other and contains the Plasm Wraith's core. The Plasm Wraith, in this form, can also become opaque, which kills any Pikmin trapped inside of itself with no chance of saving them.

As this form of the Plasm Wraith is invulnerable and can only be stunned, a wise choice of action would be to flee from it until the creature becomes vulnerable again.
