Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds
Olimar's Notes

Binuclei siphonophorus

''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 obviously has two nuclei, one yellow, being slightly larger than the smaller one, 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 actually 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 liquid-like 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 of the nuclei, then put the remains into a blender with some ice. The result: the ultimate flavored slushie!''

Behavior
 Most GamesIt stretches around, occasionally towards Pikmin if they are really close. When it comes in contact with non-blue Pikmin they will be drawn into the colloidal substance surrounding the two nuclei and begin to drown. Pikmin:RedemptionThey are much more aggressive, actively seeking out enemies, even non-pikmin, to destroy. Pikmin: Ultimate DoomThey are very territorial and will chase down Pikmin and captains. 

Strategy to Defeat
 Most GamesHave Blue Pikmin swarm the smaller marble-like orb and/or throw them against the large whitish orb. Pikmin drowning in the Goolix can be saved by throwing Blue Pikmin by them. 

Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs
The Goolix returns in Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs as a semi-common enemy. Goolixes can be found in the Marsh Territory. Goolixes only awaken and exit the surrounding water to attack Captain Olimar, and more specifically, the Pikmin. If an orange core and a turquoise core are spotted near each other, take caution in approaching the cores. When a Goolix is defeated, it quickly evaporates but the cores are left behind. The cores may be taken to the Onion for extra seeds. As the Goolix is made of water, Blue Pikmin are recommended. Strangely, Goolixes are thicker than normal water, and such retain their form when exiting pools of water. Five Goolixes can be found within the Marsh Territory.
